Honest comparison · updated July 2026
Stan Store vs Linktree — and the option both are missing
Linktree organizes your links. Stan Store sells from your bio for a monthly fee. But if what you actually want is “charge for this one video/PDF/guide”, neither is the shortest path.
No subscription. No monthly fee. 10% only when you sell.
The short answer
Choose Linktree (free–$24/month) if you mainly need a tidy hub of links in your bio. Choose Stan Store ($29–$99/month) if your bio is a real storefront: digital products, courses, bookings. But if your goal is simply to get paid for individual pieces of content, both are overkill — HushLink turns any single file or post into a paid link with no subscription at all: upload, set a price, share. You can even put your HushLink paid links inside your Linktree.
HushLink in under a minute
Sell digital content with a simple link.
How HushLink works
The entire flow. There is no step four.
STEP 1
Upload content
A file, video, image, audio, or written piece. That is the whole product setup.
STEP 2
Set a price
Or a password, if you just want it gated. No store, no theme, no product page builder.
STEP 3
Share the link
One short link, anywhere — bio, DMs, stories. Buyers pay and unlock instantly.
