Biotrail vs Stan Store

The free Stan Store alternative. No $29 a month.

Stan is a creator storefront: courses, digital products, bookings and checkout in one place, from $29 a month with no free plan. If your page is mainly links, content and a few products, you may be paying for a store you don't need. Biotrail is free, links to the checkout you already have, and takes 0% of sales.

Use the tools you already pay for

Already selling on Gumroad, Shopify, Kajabi or Calendly? Biotrail puts them on one page instead of asking you to move your store.

54 link layouts, 12 palettes, photo and video wallpapers and header styles, not a single storefront template.

Questions about switching

Can I sell courses on Biotrail?

You can link to a course you host elsewhere (Kajabi, Teachable, Gumroad, Podia…) as a product block. Biotrail doesn't host course videos or checkout itself.

Does Biotrail take a fee on sales?

No. Payments happen on your own checkout, so the only fee is your payment processor's, the same as on any platform.

Can people book calls?

Yes. Add a booking block that links to Calendly, Cal.com or any booking page you use.

Claim your name before someone else does

Free, 0% of your sales, and you can bring your Stan Store links with you.
