How Lemon Squeezy and Stan Store compare

Lemon Squeezy takes the hard parts of selling software off your plate. As merchant of record it handles global tax, fraud, and compliance, while you get hosted checkout, subscriptions, license keys, a storefront, customer email, affiliates, and a clean API. Developers and digital product makers choose it so they can ship instead of file returns.

Stan Store makes selling from your bio link almost effortless. Digital downloads, courses, coaching calls with booking, memberships, and lead magnets sit on one mobile-first page with checkout, plus email marketing and funnels on the higher plan. For a creator selling to social followers on their phone, it removes nearly every step.
