A Stan Store alternative
when the page is not the shop.
Stan Store exists to sell things directly from your bio link, and it is designed around that from the ground up. Tapline is the right tool when the page is a junction rather than a checkout.
We do not quote other companies’ prices or feature lists here — those change, and being out of date about a competitor would be worse than saying nothing. Check Stan Store directly for what it costs and what it currently includes.
Sample Tapline page: Dana Whitfield. Career coaching for people mid-pivot. Start with a free call. Blocks in order: Free 20-min intro call (featured), 1:1 coaching details, Client results, Free pivot worksheet, Weekly newsletter, LinkedIn.
A real Tapline page, rendered by the same code that serves published pages.
Credit where it is due
What Stan Store is genuinely good at.
Stan Store is a storefront-first product and it does not pretend otherwise, which is exactly why it works for the people it works for.
Selling is the whole design
Courses, coaching slots, digital downloads — Stan Store is built so the transaction happens in the same place as the link. If your income comes from products you sell to your own audience, starting from a storefront makes obvious sense.
Checkout, delivery and the page in one place
One tool that handles the store, the payment and the file delivery removes a real amount of plumbing. That convenience is the product.
Aimed at a specific, well-understood creator
It knows exactly who it is for. Tools with that much focus tend to have better defaults for that person than a general-purpose page ever will.
Stay with Stan Store if…
- You sell digital products or coaching directly to your audience, regularly.
- You want checkout and file delivery handled inside the same tool as the page.
- The storefront is the point of your bio link, not a link on it.
If one of those describes you, we would rather you did not pay us. A page nobody needs is not a win for either of us.
The difference
What Tapline does differently.
Every line below is a fact about Tapline, checkable on this site today.
We do not sell on your behalf, so we take nothing
Tapline charges for Pro and nothing else. Whatever you sell, you sell through your own shop, Gumroad, Square or Stripe, and none of that money passes through us.
The commerce tier is honestly labelled as unbuilt
A $12/month tier with product blocks and hosted checkout is planned. It does not exist yet, so there is no button for it. If selling from the page is your requirement today, Stan Store is a more honest answer than we are.
No account, no password
Publishing mints a private edit link and that link is the credential. Nothing to verify, nothing to reset, nothing to be locked out of.
Analytics on the free plan
Views and taps are counted from the moment you publish, not held back as an upgrade prompt.
Server-rendered, no client JS in the critical path
Your page is HTML and the theme arrives as inline CSS variables, so there is no bundle to download before your links appear.
$48 a year, paid once
Pro is a single payment for twelve months. Nothing auto-renews, and if you never pay again the page stays live at the same URL with every link working.
Moving over from Stan Store
The two can sit together: keep selling where you sell, and let Tapline be the fast page in your bio that points at your store alongside your booking link, your newsletter and everything else. If your page is genuinely only a checkout, you do not need us yet — and we would rather say that than take your $48.

Or skip the comparison and look at the pages
We have a starting page per trade, each with the ordering that actually converts for that job — which link belongs on top, and why.
