Stan Store focuses on selling courses, digital products, coaching calls, and memberships. That can feel like overkill, and an extra monthly cost, if you're not selling yet or just want one link for your socials, content, and a few products. knit.bio starts as a free link-in-bio page, then adds a store with 0% fees whenever you're ready to sell. You don't pay for tools you're not using.
| Feature | knit.bio | Stan Store |
|---|---|---|
| What it's built for | A link-in-bio page for links, socials, content, and products, with built-in selling | A storefront built primarily to sell digital products, courses, and coaching |
| Cost to use it at all | Free plan available, no credit card required | Priced as a paid monthly subscription, not a free tier |
| Fee when you sell | 0%, on every plan, forever | N/A. The cost is a flat subscription, regardless of sales |
| If you're not selling yet | Still fully useful. A link-in-bio page for links, socials, and content | Less natural fit. It's built around a storefront, not a general link-in-bio page |
| Free plan | Yes. Unlimited links on one page, with no time limit | No permanently free plan |
If you only sell and never need a general link-in-bio page, Stan's storefront-first flows are built for that. knit.bio covers the same use case with digital products and 0% fees. It also works as your everyday link-in-bio page if your Instagram bio needs to do more than point to a store.
No. The free plan has no time limit or credit card requirement. Pay only when you want a store, more pages, or a custom domain. knit.bio still takes 0% of what you sell.
Yes. Set up digital products, connect your own Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, or UPI, and sell from your page. You keep the sale price minus your payment processor's fees. knit.bio doesn't take a cut.
