Stan Store is built almost entirely around selling — courses, digital products, coaching calls, memberships — which makes it 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 proper link-in-bio page for free, then adds a store with 0% fees whenever you're ready to sell, so you're not paying a subscription for tools you're not using yet.
| Feature | knit.bio | Stan Store |
|---|---|---|
| What it's built for | A link-in-bio page that can also sell — links, socials, content, and products in one place | 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 — cost is the flat subscription, regardless of sales |
| If you're not selling yet | Still fully useful — a real 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, one page, forever | No permanently free plan |
If you only ever sell and never need a general link-in-bio page, Stan's storefront-first flows are built for exactly that. knit.bio covers the same selling use case (digital products, 0% fees) and also works as your everyday link-in-bio page — useful if your Instagram bio link needs to do more than just point at a store.
No — the free plan has no time limit and no credit card required. You only pay when you want a store, more pages, or a custom domain, and even then knit.bio takes 0% of what you sell.
Yes — set up digital products, connect your own Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, or UPI, and sell directly from your page. You keep 100% of the sale price minus your payment processor's own fees; knit.bio doesn't take a cut.
