Why switch?

shopspace Wins

  • Discount codes, upsells, payment plans, pixels, affiliates and email are all in Creator at $19/mo. Stan gates every one of them behind its $99/mo Pro plan
  • Costs less than Stan at the entry tier, $19/mo billed yearly against their $29/mo
  • No platform fees, you keep everything minus card processing
  • Webinars with automated scheduling, replays, and reminders
  • Physical products with real shipping rates and inventory, where Stan needs a manual workaround
  • Multiple store pages with drag-and-drop builder
  • 5+ distinct store themes vs limited customization
  • Built-in community with roles linked to subscription tiers

Stan Store Falls Short

  • $29/mo before you make a single sale
  • Discount codes, pixels, upsells, affiliates and email locked behind $99/mo Pro
  • Webinars need your own Zoom or Meet subscription, and there is no evergreen option
  • Physical products need a manual workaround, with no shipping rates or inventory
  • No custom domain, every store stays on stan.store/yourname
  • No multi-page storefront and no custom CSS
  • Course builder has no completion certificates
  • No bundle products

If you are the one people ask

Get paid every month for the recommendation you already make

Send a creator to shopspace and you earn 30% of everything they pay us, every month, for as long as they keep their store. It rises to 40% as you refer more, and when it rises it lifts everyone you already sent. Stan Store pays 20%, and stops paying you the moment you cancel your own Stan subscription.

Three creators a month is $706 a month by month twelve. That figure arrives again in month thirteen.
