Grailed and Depop fees at six prices
The same sale run through both fee schedules, with no shipping charged, so the only variable is price. Grailed's rate does not simply fall as the price climbs — its schedule changes above a threshold, so the effective rate drops and then rises again. Read the row nearest your own price rather than the trend.
| Sale price | Grailed fees | Depop fees | Keeps more | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $3.32 | $0.78 | Depop | $2.54 |
| $25.00 | $3.84 | $1.28 | Depop | $2.56 |
| $50.00 | $5.73 | $2.10 | Depop | $3.63 |
| $100.00 | $10.47 | $3.75 | Depop | $6.72 |
| $250.00 | $32.21 | $8.70 | Depop | $23.51 |
| $500.00 | $63.43 | $16.95 | Depop | $46.48 |
Depop charges less at every price shown. The difference is what the other platform's audience, format, or logistics has to be worth to you.
A stepped commission against processing alone
Grailed charges a commission that steps up above a price threshold, subject to a minimum charge, with payment processing on top. Depop charges no US selling fee — only processing plus a small fixed amount. On fees alone Depop keeps more of every sale in the table below, and Grailed's rate step means the gap widens rather than narrows as items get more expensive.
Grailed's minimum charge is the part that catches sellers out. On a cheap item the commission floor can exceed the percentage it replaces, which makes low-priced listings disproportionately expensive there — the opposite of the intuition that a percentage fee scales down with price.
Same category, different buyers
Both sell secondhand menswear, which makes this one of the few pairs where the same item genuinely lists on both. Grailed's audience skews toward designer, archive, and technical pieces and tolerates higher price points; Depop's skews younger and cheaper. The fee difference is real, and it is smaller than the price difference the right audience will pay.
That is the useful way to read the table: not as a ranking, but as the discount you would need on the other platform to come out level. If Grailed's buyers pay more for the piece than its extra commission costs, the cheaper schedule is the more expensive choice.
Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper on a $100 sale, Grailed or Depop?
Depop — $3.75 against $10.47, a difference of $6.72 on a $100 item with no shipping charged. Depop is the cheaper of the two at every price in the table on this page, and the gap widens as the price rises.
What is Grailed's minimum fee?
Grailed applies a minimum commission, so a very cheap sale is charged that amount rather than the percentage. The exact figure, its source, and its verification date are on the Grailed fee calculator page; the low-price rows above show what it does to the effective rate.
Why does Grailed's rate change above a certain price?
Its commission steps up at a published threshold, so higher-value sales are charged at the higher of two rates rather than a blended one. The table above brackets that threshold deliberately.
Should I list on both?
For menswear, cross-listing is common and the fee difference only decides which sale you would rather have. What it cannot tell you is which platform's buyers will pay more for the piece — and on designer and archive items that gap is usually larger than the fee gap.
