When Stan Store makes more sense
High volume: Stan Store Pro costs $29/mo and removes the per-sale fee. If you are doing 60+ sales of a $49 product monthly, the math tilts toward Stan Store Pro: $29/mo beats 4.5% × 60 × $49 = $132.30/mo.
Multi-product storefront: Stan Store is built for creators who want a single "link in bio" destination. Courses, digital downloads, 1:1 calls, memberships — all in one place with a public profile. If your audience follows you and expects to browse your catalog, Stan Store is designed for that.
Courses and memberships: Stan Store has a full course builder and membership tiers. If you want hosted video content and recurring subscriptions, Stan Store does that natively. unseal.link does not.
When unseal.link makes more sense
Low to medium volume: Until you hit ~60 sales/month of a $49 product, the math favors unseal.link's 4.5% over Stan Store's $29/mo Pro plan. The free tier of Stan Store actually costs more per sale (5%) than unseal.link (4.5%).
Link-based products: Stan Store requires uploads or integrations. If you sell a Notion template, Figma file, or Google Drive resource, Stan Store forces you to upload the file or set up an integration. unseal.link treats any URL as a product directly.
Fast setup: Stan Store's full setup — profile, product listings, branding — takes 60–90 minutes. unseal.link takes under 5 minutes per product. For freelancers or one-off sales, that overhead is not worth it.
No monthly commitment: unseal.link has no monthly fee. You pay when you sell. For seasonal sellers or creators just getting started, not paying $29/mo during slow months matters.
No monthly software cost
4.5% per sale. Nothing when you're not selling. Stan Store Pro costs $29/mo whether you make one sale or none.
5 minutes to first sale
No profile to build, no store to configure. Paste your link, set a price, share. That's the entire setup.
Any URL is a product
Notion, Figma, Google Drive, Discord invite, GitHub repo, Loom video — if it has a URL, you can sell it.
