Honest comparison · updated July 2026
Stan Store fees, explained honestly
Stan Store charges a flat subscription and no transaction fees. That is genuinely good — at volume. Here is the full 2026 pricing breakdown, the break-even math, and what to use if a monthly bill doesn’t fit yet.
No subscription. No monthly fee. 10% only when you sell.
The short answer
As of July 2026, Stan Store costs $29/month on the Creator plan and $99/month on Creator Pro, with 0% transaction fees (card processing still applies) and a 14-day free trial. The math is simple: $29/month equals a 10% fee on $290 of monthly sales. If you consistently sell more than that, Stan Store’s flat pricing is worth it. If you sell less — or your income is spiky — a pay-per-sale platform like HushLink ($0/month, 10% per sale) keeps your fixed costs at zero.
