Gated and paid links on every plan. No platform branding, ever.

The short answer
Stan Store costs $29 or $99 per month. The two plans are Creator ($29/mo, about $300 billed annually) and Creator Pro ($99/mo, about $948 annually). There is no free plan, though Stan offers a 14 day trial.
Stan's headline advantage is that it charges no platform transaction fee on your sales at either tier. You keep 100% of revenue after Stripe or PayPal processing (2.9% + $0.30 per sale), which applies on every platform, including ours. On fee structure alone, Stan is one of the cleanest deals in the category.
The trade is flexibility and ownership. Stan is a fixed, template-driven storefront on a stan.store subdomain, built for a linear mobile checkout. If you need your own domain, deep link gating, or granular per-link revenue analytics, that is where a flat, honest storefront stops being enough.

01The sticker price
What Stan Store charges per month
Two tiers, no free plan, and the part most reviews bury the lede on: no percentage taken from your sales.
| Stan Store plan | Monthly | Billed annually | Fee on digital sales | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Creator | $29/mo | about $25/mo | 0% | Solo creators selling a handful of products and calls |
| Creator Pro | $99/mo | about $79/mo | 0% | Full-time sellers who want the advanced funnels and email tools |
Prices checked July 2026. Stan runs a 14 day trial rather than a free plan, and annual billing brings the tiers down to roughly $25 and $79 a month. Confirm the current numbers on Stan's own pricing page before you commit, since promotional pricing shifts.
No platform fee is the real headline
Stan takes 0% of your sales at both tiers. In a category where 9% and 12% fees are normal below the top plan, that is a genuine advantage, and it is the reason Stan is worth a serious look for anyone selling real volume.
No free tier, a 14 day trial instead
Stan starts at $29 with no free plan. You get a two week trial to see whether the storefront fits your funnel, then it is a real subscription. That is a defensible way to price: you pay for the tool and keep your revenue, rather than paying nothing and giving up a cut.
The cost is what you cannot change
Stan's price is simple because the product is fixed. It is a mobile-first storefront on a stan.store URL with a set template and checkout flow. That consistency is a strength for speed and a limit for anyone who wants their own domain and layout. That trade is the next section.
02Give credit where it is due
Stan's 0% fee is real, and it matters
We are not going to muddy this. On the cost of selling, Stan is one of the most creator-friendly platforms in the category, and here is exactly why.
Most link in bio and creator-store platforms make their money two ways: a monthly subscription and a percentage of every sale. Linktree takes up to 12%. Beacons takes 9% below its Creator Plus tier. Stan takes neither. You pay $29 or $99 a month, and beyond the card processor's cut, the revenue is yours.
Put a number on it. A creator doing $5,000 a month in digital sales would hand Beacons Free about $450 a month at 9%, or Linktree Free about $600 at 12%. On Stan Creator, that same creator pays $29, flat. Over a year, that is thousands of dollars that stays with the creator instead of the platform. Anyone who dismisses Stan as "just expensive" has not done the arithmetic past the sticker price.
So when we compare ourselves to Stan, we are not competing on fee percentage, because there is nothing to beat: both of us take 0% on our zero-fee tiers. Stan Creator at $29 is even cheaper per month than our Pro at $49. The comparison is about a different thing entirely, which is what the page is, where it lives, and what you can measure.
To keep every platform honest: Stripe's processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction applies on Stan, on ExclusiveLink, and on everyone else. Nobody in this category escapes the card networks. Stan just does not add a platform fee on top, and neither do we above Creator.
03Run the numbers
What you actually pay at $1,000, $3,000 and $5,000 in monthly sales
Because Stan takes 0%, its cost is a flat line. Here is how that flat line sits against ExclusiveLink's two paid tiers. Stripe processing is excluded because it is identical on every row.
| Monthly digital sales | Stan Creator $29 + 0% |
Stan Creator Pro $99 + 0% |
ExclusiveLink Creator $19 + 2% |
ExclusiveLink Pro $49 + 0% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | Cost $29 Keep $971 |
Cost $99 Keep $901 |
Cost $39 Keep $961 |
Cost $49 Keep $951 |
| $3,000 | Cost $29 Keep $2,971 |
Cost $99 Keep $2,901 |
Cost $79 Keep $2,921 |
Cost $49 Keep $2,951 |
| $5,000 | Cost $29 Keep $4,971 |
Cost $99 Keep $4,901 |
Cost $119 Keep $4,881 |
Cost $49 Keep $4,951 |
Read that honestly and Stan Creator wins the pure-cost race at every volume in the table. At $29 flat with 0%, it is cheaper per month than our Pro and cheaper than our Creator plan once you clear about $500 a month in sales, where our 2% catches up to Stan's $10 higher base. If your only question is which storefront costs the fewest dollars, Stan Creator is a defensible answer and we are not going to pretend the number says otherwise.
What the flat line does not price in is the ceiling. Stan Creator is a fixed template on a stan.store URL. There is no custom domain, the layout is the layout, and the analytics tell you what sold, not which post or link drove the sale. For a lot of creators that is fine. For a business that runs paid traffic, tests offers, and wants the page to look like theirs, the $20 gap to our Pro buys the things Stan's price cannot: your own domain, gated and paid links as the core feature, and per-link revenue analytics with UTM, geo and device.
Put simply: Stan is the better buy if you want a clean, cheap, no-fee storefront and are happy inside its template. We are the better buy if you are building a brand and need the page, the domain and the data to be yours. If you are weighing the whole switch rather than just the price, the Stan Store alternative comparison covers what changes beyond cost.
Where the plans cross over
| ExclusiveLink Creator (2% + $19) costs more than Stan Creator ($29) above | $500/mo |
| Stan Creator ($29) beats ExclusiveLink Pro ($49) on cost by | $20/mo |
| ExclusiveLink Pro ($49) costs less than Stan Creator Pro ($99) by | $50/mo |
| ExclusiveLink Creator (2% + $19) costs more than our Pro ($49) above | $1,500/mo |
With two 0% platforms, the comparison is base price and features, not fee percentage. Stan wins on base price; the gap buys domain, gating and analytics.
04The wider market
How Stan Store pricing compares to everyone else
Stan is the outlier here. Most of the category runs a low monthly price plus a percentage on your sales. Stan charges a real subscription and takes no cut.
| Platform | Entry price | Zero fee plan | Fee below that plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stan Store | $29/mo | Creator, $29/mo | No platform fee at any tier |
| Linktree | Free, then $8/mo | Premium, $35/mo | 12% on Free, 9% on Starter and Pro |
| Beacons | Free, then $10/mo | Creator Plus, $30/mo | 9% on Free and Creator |
| ExclusiveLink | $19/mo, no free tier | Pro, $49/mo | 2% on Creator, 0% on Pro and above |
Stan wins on fee structure
No platform cut at either tier is the simplest, most creator-friendly fee model in the group. If you sell a lot and want a storefront that never scales its take with your revenue, Stan and a flat 0% plan like ours are the two honest answers, and Stan's base price is lower.
Linktree and Beacons hide the cost in a fee
Both start cheap or free, then take 9% to 12% until you reach their top tier. See exactly how that math plays out on the Linktree pricing and Beacons pricing pages, where a "free" plan quietly becomes the most expensive option once you sell.
We trade a little price for ownership
ExclusiveLink is $19 for Creator (2%), $49 for Pro (0%), $149 for Studio and custom for Enterprise. The Pro plan costs $20 more than Stan Creator and gives you a custom domain, gating and per-link analytics. Full breakdown on the link in bio pricing page.

05Honestly
When Stan Store is the right answer
We sell a competing product, so treat this as the section where we have every incentive to lie and are choosing not to. Stan is genuinely good at what it does.
You want the fastest path to selling on mobile
Stan's whole design is a linear, mobile-first checkout that a follower can complete in a few taps. If your audience lives in Instagram and TikTok and you want a storefront live this afternoon with no configuration, Stan is one of the fastest and cleanest ways to do it, and the 0% fee means every early sale is yours.
You sell high volume and want the lowest flat cost
At high sales volume, Stan Creator at $29 with no fee is one of the cheapest homes you can find for a digital storefront. If you are happy inside Stan's template and do not need your own domain, the honest advice is that Stan Creator is hard to beat on price and we will not tell you otherwise.
Where its fixed shape starts to bind
The moment you want your own domain, a page that does not look like every other Stan store, deep link gating, or analytics that attribute a sale to a specific post or campaign, Stan's fixed template becomes the limit. Its price is low because the product does not bend. That is the gap we built for.
What the extra $20 buys
On ExclusiveLink Pro at $49, you also take 0%, and you get a custom domain, gated and paid links as the core of the product, per-link revenue analytics, and a page that carries nobody's branding but yours. If ownership and measurement matter more than saving $20 a month, that is the trade.
06Questions
Stan Store pricing, answered directly
How much does Stan Store cost?
Stan Store costs $29 a month for Creator and $99 a month for Creator Pro. Billed annually, those work out to roughly $25 and $79 a month. There is no free plan, but Stan offers a 14 day trial so you can test the storefront before you pay.
Does Stan Store charge transaction fees?
No. Stan Store charges no platform transaction fee on your sales at either the Creator or Creator Pro tier. You keep 100% of revenue after payment processing. Stripe or PayPal still takes 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, which is charged on every platform, including ExclusiveLink, because it is the card processor's fee, not the platform's.
Is there a Stan Store free plan?
No. Stan Store does not have a free plan. It runs a 14 day free trial and then starts at $29 a month for Creator. That is a deliberate pricing choice: you pay a real subscription and keep all of your sales revenue, rather than paying nothing and giving up a percentage of every sale.
What is the difference between Stan Creator and Creator Pro?
Creator at $29 covers the core storefront, digital products, and booking. Creator Pro at $99 adds the advanced funnel, email marketing, and automation tools built for full-time sellers. Both charge 0% platform fee, so the upgrade is about features and scale, not about lowering your cost of selling.
Can you use a custom domain with Stan Store?
Stan Store pages live on a stan.store URL with a fixed template, so custom domains and full layout control are not the product's focus. If putting your storefront on your own domain with no platform branding is a priority, that is exactly the gap ExclusiveLink Pro fills, at $49 a month with the same 0% fee.
