Stan Store vs Zapable: what's actually different

Stan Store is built around the link-in-bio: a clean, mobile-first storefront that bundles digital products, courses, and bookings in one place. The trade-off is its pricing model — a flat monthly subscription (around $29/month) that you pay whether you sell ten products or none. For a creator just starting out, that fixed cost eats into thin early margins, and like every link-in-bio tool it settles through traditional card processors, with the payout delays and chargeback exposure that come with them.

Zapable covers the same all-in-one storefront ground but flips the cost structure: free to start, with no monthly fee to justify before you've made a sale. Payments arrive instantly over Lightning, straight to a wallet you own, and there are no chargebacks on Bitcoin. You keep the polished creator-store experience without paying a subscription to reach your own customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! While Stan Store charges $29/month plus credit card processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction), Zapable offers a free tier with zero platform fees. You only pay minimal Bitcoin network fees, often a fraction of a cent on Lightning. For creators just starting out or those who want to maximize their earnings, Zapable provides significantly better economics.
