Stan Store vs Linktree: which is right for you?

Nov 13, 2026 · 4 min read · Link in Bio team

Stan Store and Linktree both live in your bio, but they solve different problems. Linktree is built to share links. Stan Store is built to sell: digital downloads, courses, coaching calls and memberships, with checkout on the page.

The main difference

  • Stan Store is a storefront. Each item on your page can be a product with its own checkout, and buyers pay without leaving your page.
  • Linktree is a page of links. It can point to a shop, and paid plans add some selling features, but its core job is sending people to other places.

Choose Stan Store if

  • Selling digital products or booking paid calls is your main goal.
  • You want checkout, delivery and customer emails handled in one place.
  • You are fine paying a monthly subscription from day one.

Choose Linktree if

  • You mostly share content, socials and other people's links.
  • You want a free plan to start with.
  • You already sell somewhere else, such as Shopify or Etsy, and only need to link to it.

Pricing

Link out to your existing shop, and collect sign-ups on the page itself. Compare more tools in the Linktree alternatives roundup.
