Who should choose Amazon KDP

Choose Amazon KDP if marketplace discovery is your whole strategy and you’re fine trading 40–65% of each sale (and your customer relationships) for it.

Who should choose BookFlarePro

Choose BookFlarePro if you drive your own traffic — a mailing list, social following, or ads — and want to keep 100% above printing costs, own your reader data, and get paid in 7 days. Many authors run both: KDP for discovery, BookFlarePro for direct sales.
