    Linktree vs Stan Store

    Choose Linktree if you want a free page that can also sell a little; choose Stan Store if selling is the entire point. Stan Store publishes its prices ($29 and $99 a month) and a 0% platform fee, plus courses, memberships and coaching bookings. Linktree publishes neither its tier prices nor the percentage of the transaction fee it applies to Earn features — a real disadvantage when you are pricing a business.
