There are hundreds of successful CRM SaaS companies out there.
Same for email marketing. I think there is room for tons of creator sales platforms without asking "How does this differ from Mailchimp?"
I think the #1 "product design" problem for these tools is customer trust with a brand you've never seen before.
I find Gumroad a little jarring instead of being in the background. Gumroad has been around long enough that it is now a brand that someone might have interacted with more than once through different creators, but I think that is a secondary use case.
