The Stan Store alternative for a link in bio that looks like you
- Free forever
- No credit card needed
- Pay once if you upgrade
mychar.gg vs Stan: the short answer
mychar.gg is a Stan Store alternative for anyone whose bio link is about who they are rather than checkout: it has a free plan, one-time upgrades from €6.99, deep design control, a music player, video clips, and a custom domain option. Stan has no free plan and starts at $25 a month billed yearly, but it is the stronger choice if you sell courses, coaching, or digital products.
Choose mychar.gg if you
- want a free page instead of a $25 a month store
- want the page to look like you, with effects, fonts, and your own background
- want music, video clips, and live Twitch or YouTube on the page
- want your own domain, which Stan does not offer
Stay with Stan if you
- sell digital products, courses, coaching, or memberships
- want checkout, upsells, and email marketing in one place
- want Instagram auto-DMs that deliver products

Where Stan is stronger
Selling is the product
Stan checks out digital products, courses, coaching calls, memberships, and communities directly from your bio link, with no Stan platform fee.
Conversion tools
Creator Pro adds order bumps, upsell funnels, discount codes, and payment plans such as Klarna and Afterpay.
Email marketing
Lead magnets collect emails on Creator, and Creator Pro sends broadcasts and automated flows.
Instagram auto-DM
Stan can send a product or link to anyone who comments a keyword on your post.
Why people look for a Stan Store alternative
Stan is built for creators who sell: courses, coaching, digital downloads, and memberships, checked out from a link in bio. For that job it is very good. For a creator who mostly wants one link that shows their work, it is an expensive starting point, at $25 a month billed yearly with no free plan, and the stores tend to look alike because there are 11 templates and no custom code.
Two things come up often. Stan does not offer custom domains on any plan, and removing the Stan branding takes Creator Pro at $79 a month billed yearly.
How mychar.gg is different
mychar.gg is a link-in-bio page you design, not a store. In the editor you work on the page itself: edit text in place, drag sections and widgets where you want them, and pick layouts, fonts, colors, backgrounds, animated effects, and cursors while you watch the result. Music, video clips, and YouTube, Twitch, and Discord sections put your content on the page.
It costs far less because it does less on the selling side. The Free plan stays free, Pro is €6.99 once, and Elite €12.99 once. If you sell, you can still link to a store from your mychar.gg page, including a Stan store. The guide for creators shows how other creators set their pages up.
