The short version
Stan.store is the high-end of the link-in-bio commerce category — built specifically for creators selling courses, ebooks, and consulting packages. The product is genuinely good for that use case. At $29/month minimum (~₹2,400), it's the most expensive tool in this comparison set and only makes sense if you're already running a real digital-product business.

Pick Stan.store if…
- You sell digital products (courses, ebooks, templates) for $30+
- Your monthly revenue from these products is $1,000+
- Your audience is in the US/UK and pays via Stripe
- You want everything (products, email, affiliates) in one tool
Pick Linktrain if…
- You don't sell digital products — you're a creator or small business
- You're not making $1,000+/mo and can't justify the $29 minimum
- Your audience is Indian
- You just need a clean bio link page, not a full creator OS
I almost signed up for Stan.store before realising I don't sell courses — I sell custom cakes via WhatsApp. ₹2,400/month for what I needed (a bio page) was insane.
Common questions
- Does Linktrain plan to add Stan.store-style product selling?
- Selling digital products from the bio is on our roadmap, but it'll be priced for the Indian market — likely INR-denominated with low/no platform fees. Stan.store's value is the polish + integrations; we won't try to match it on the high end.
- I sell physical products. Should I use Stan.store?
- No. Stan.store is for digital products primarily. For physical goods (clothing, jewellery, food), you're better off with a bio link page + WhatsApp Business + Shiprocket for logistics. Stan.store doesn't help here.
- What about the free tier?
- Stan.store doesn't have one — you have to start paying immediately. Linktrain has a genuine free tier. If you're not sure if a bio link tool is right for you, start free with Linktrain, learn the patterns, then graduate to Stan.store later if you start selling digital products.
