Stan Store: pricing, review, and alternatives
Updated August 17, 2026
Stan Store charges a flat subscription ($29 a month Creator, $99 a month Creator Pro, cheaper billed annually) and takes 0% of your sales beyond Stripe processing. That math is excellent once you sell consistently: at $1,000 a month in sales you pay Stan $29 where a 5% platform would take $50. It is poor before you have sales, because the bill arrives whether you sell or not. There is a 14 day trial but no free plan.
Stan Store pricing, plainly
| Plan | Monthly | Billed annually | Platform fee on sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator | $29/mo | $25/mo ($300/yr) | 0% + Stripe processing |
| Creator Pro | $99/mo | $79/mo ($948/yr) | 0% + Stripe processing |
| Free plan | None | None | 14 day trial only |
Creator covers the storefront and digital products; Pro adds funnels, email marketing and affiliate features. Payouts run through Stripe, so country support follows Stripe's list.
The break-even math
Against a 5% platform fee, $29 a month breaks even at $580 in monthly sales; $99 breaks even at $1,980. Selling above those lines, Stan is cheap. Below them, you are paying a SaaS bill to hold a store open. That is the entire decision, and it is why "is Stan Store worth it" has no single answer: it tracks your revenue, not the product's quality.
What the subscription does not include
- Tips and casual support: Stan is built for selling products, not for the $5 "great stream" gesture.
- A wishlist: no gifting surface at all.
- Payouts beyond Stripe's country list.
Alternatives
Ouish flips the model: no monthly fee, and on sales and tips the supporter covers the 6% processing fee. You get a storefront for digital downloads, a tip jar and a wishlist on one handle, with payouts in 18 currencies including NGN via Paystack. Ouish is a tip jar, wishlist and storefront for streamers and creators, and it is the better fit before consistent revenue and for stream audiences. Past roughly $600 a month in pure product sales, Stan's flat fee becomes the cheaper pure store.
Ko-fi (full breakdown) sits between: free plan with 5% on shop sales, or $12 a month to remove it, PayPal/Stripe processing from your side. Gumroad works for pure digital products with no storefront-page ambitions, at a roughly 10% platform cut plus processing.
