Stan doesn't charge transaction fees. It charges for everything else.
$29/mo to start. $99/mo to send an email. $149/mo to get AI help. No free plan. No custom domain. Here's what they're not putting on the landing page.
See the real cost ↓Not a typo. Stan's $29 "starter" plan is the door — but email, discounts, and AI are behind a second, third, and fourth paywall. Here's what the landing page won't tell you.
Looks affordable at $29 — until you realize that's the stripped version. Discount codes? $99/mo. Email campaigns? $99/mo. AI content help? That's a whole separate app (Stanley) at $45–149/mo on top. No free plan, no custom domain, and a storefront locked to 12 templates with 2 colors and 1 font.
Your page is yours forever — no paywall to keep it live. Start with 60 days of full premium. Sell digital products, book coaching calls, and build your media kit from day one. Custom domain, email, courses, discount codes, and AI rolling out on Premium.
Stan's Creator plan is the hook. The features you'll actually need to grow are the upsell. Every row below is verified against Stan's official docs as of March 2026.

Stan gets you in at $29/mo with a clean checkout — then charges $99/mo the moment you need discount codes or email. Want AI? That's a separate app at $45–149/mo. No custom domain. No media kit. No social scheduling. Twelve templates. Two colors. One font. The 0% transaction fee sounds great until you add up what you're actually paying for everything else: $348–$2,976/year.
Free forever — the page. Full block library. All beautifully designed. 60 days of full premium to try everything. Sell digital products, book coaching calls, capture leads, and build your media kit for just $14/mo. We're rolling out more features so that $14/mo adds email marketing, discount codes, courses, and AI — everything Stan gates behind $99+/mo. $168/year vs $2,976/year. That's the comparison.
Casual creators pay $29/mo — that's $348/year for a basic storefront with no email, no AI, no custom domain. Serious creators on Pro + Stanley? Up to $248/mo — $2,976/year. Looplinq Premium is $168/year. Do the math.

Stan Store Creator: $29/mo. Stan Store Creator Pro: $99/mo. Stanley (AI content coach): $44.99/mo for Instagram, $149/mo for LinkedIn — billed separately from Stan Store. Neither Stan Store plan includes a custom domain. Looplinq features represent the planned product roadmap.

"Free" custom domains may require domain purchase; hosting/mapping is what's included at no extra cost.
