We can debate how the monthly fee factors in, but to keep it simple let's just compare apples to apples - the free gumroad plan. For the free plan (https://gumroad.com/features/pricing), Gumroad takes 5% and charges a (3.5% + 30c) payment processing fee.
The 5X is in terms of the "take" percentage (1% vs 5%).

okay, that tells where you are getting that 5x comparison (which is not as good as comparison as overall amount seller gets), but if you'd put this statement in your comment, I wouldn't have had this confusion at all
For $10 on gumroad (see https://help.gumroad.com/article/66-gumroads-fees):
Free account: 8.5% + $0.30 (USD) per sale gives $8.85 to seller
For $10/month: 3.5% + $0.30 (USD) per sale gives $9.35 to seller
And there's other options like direct paypal connection, where gumroad charges 6% or 1% and rest is charged by paypal themselves.
These comparisons will vary based on product price, but this is nowhere close to your 5X claim.
