Linktree or Stan Store: which one fits your page?
The short answer: Linktree has a genuine free plan and is built for links first; Stan Store has no free plan at all and is built for selling courses, coaching calls and memberships. If you are not already selling something structured, Linktree is the closer fit.
Side by side
| Question | Linktree | Stan Store |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0, unlimited basic links, Linktree branding shown | None, only a 14-day free trial |
| Entry paid tier | $0 free, Starter around $8 monthly | $29 a month, Creator |
| Top tier | Pro plan removes branding at a higher monthly price | $99 a month, Creator Pro |
| What it is built to sell | Not commerce-specific; links to anywhere, including a store elsewhere | Courses, coaching calls, memberships and digital products directly |
| Best suited for | A page that mostly points people elsewhere | A creator whose main business is already selling structured offers |
| Free trial | Not applicable, the free plan has no time limit | 14 days, then a paid plan is required |
| Affiliate tools | Not a core feature | Built in, aimed at creators promoting their own courses through others |

When Linktree is the better fit
- You want to try a bio page for $0 before committing to anything
- Your main goal is links, not a built-in storefront
- You are not ready to commit to a paid plan on day one
- You do not need affiliate or coaching-call tools built in
When Stan Store is the better fit
- You already sell courses, coaching or memberships and want them on one page
- You need affiliate tools and email flows built around the sale
- The $29 to $99 a month range fits an already-revenue-generating business
- Coaching-call scheduling built into the same page saves you a separate tool
Where Fullink fits, as a third option
Fullink is closer to Linktree in scope: Free covers five links at $0, and PRO at $9 a month adds Stripe-hosted payment links for a single product or a tip jar, without Stan Store's full storefront, coaching-call scheduling or affiliate program. If Stan Store's structured selling tools are the actual requirement, neither Linktree nor Fullink replace them. A single payment link is a different product than a full course and coaching platform.
Free covers 5 links at $0. PRO is $9 a month and adds Stripe-hosted payment links, supporter tiers and no Fullink branding.
Questions people ask
- Can I try Stan Store for free?
- Stan Store offers a 14-day free trial rather than a lasting free plan. After that, the Creator plan starts at $29 a month.
- Is Linktree good enough to sell a course?
- Linktree can link out to a course hosted elsewhere, but it does not include Stan Store's built-in course, coaching-call or membership tools.
- Does Stan Store handle payment processing directly?
- Yes, Stan Store's storefront includes its own checkout for courses, coaching and memberships, unlike Linktree, which links out to wherever you already sell.
- Would a creator with no existing course still benefit from Stan Store?
- Probably not yet; its pricing and feature set assume an active, structured offer, so a simpler tool makes more sense until that exists.
- Does Linktree support course sales at all?
- Linktree can link out to a course hosted on another platform, but it does not include Stan Store's built-in course, coaching-call or membership infrastructure.
- How much does Stan Store's Creator Pro tier add over the base Creator plan?
- Creator Pro, at $99 a month, expands the affiliate and email automation tools beyond what the $29 a month Creator plan includes; check Stan Store's own pricing page for the full feature breakdown.
