When staying may make more sense.

Choose LDT when unlimited bandwidth, EPUB watermarking, embedded readers or a low-cost API tier are decisive. Its Enterprise plan lists 300 GB storage and API access at $19.99/month.

LDT Starter costs $8.99 for 15 GB with unlimited bandwidth; BIG Starter costs $9.99 for 15 GB with 50 GB bandwidth. BIG should not be described as the price or transfer-capacity winner for that use case.

Start with the right question

What should your next app do better?

LDT combines file delivery with document readers, media players and generous plan allowances. It is a serious competitor on price and capacity. BIG is worth evaluating for its delivery workflow, support fit and operational needs, not because it is always cheaper.

01

Price the whole workload

List your stored GB, transferred GB, monthly orders and required integrations. A low entry price is useful only if the plan supports those numbers.

02

List your non-negotiables

Separate ordinary file delivery from PDF stamping, licence inventory, custom orders, scheduled releases and a true learning platform.

03

Protect existing access

Check the migration path for previous buyers, old links, custom email templates and licence keys before cancelling your current subscription.

Your migration checklist

Leave the friction behind.
Keep the customer experience.

Before you move

Write down the exact problem with your current setup. If it is a support issue, get an answer before migrating; a move introduces work and can change customers’ links. If it is price, model at least your normal month and your largest promotion.

During the trial

Use a representative large file, one bundle, a licence-key product and a mobile test purchase where those apply. Test branded email delivery and ask what happens to historical orders. Check the public documentation for your required integration.

At launch

Back up your original files and exports. Verify order-to-file mappings. Stop duplicate delivery emails only after the new journey works, then monitor customer requests. Do not promise that old download URLs will survive a migration unless that has been verified.

How we compare

Published by BIG Digital Downloads. Public product and pricing information reviewed on 22 September 2026; this is not an independent hands-on test. Monthly USD prices before tax, Shopify subscription fees and payment processing. Promotions and annual discounts excluded. A check means the source documents the capability; a dash means it is not stated, not that it is impossible.
