No $29 a month before
you’ve sold a thing.
Stan Store charges a monthly subscription starting at $29 whether or not you sell. MKKT charges 5% per sale and $0 a month — and builds the product with you instead of handing you an empty store.
The math, side by side
Per sale versus per month.
| Platform | You keep on a $49 sale | Per-sale fee | Monthly fee | Builds the product with you |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M MKKT | $44.83 | 5% flat | $0 | Yes — AI product studio |
| Stan Store | $47.28 | Processing only | $29–99 | No |
| Gumroad | $44.10 | 10% flat | $0 | No |
| Lemon Squeezy | $46.05 | 5% + 50¢ | $0 | No |
Pricing verified July 2026. "You keep" assumes a single $49 digital sale. Stan takes no per-sale platform cut but bills $29–99/month regardless of sales — a fee this per-sale view excludes. MKKT and Stan show Stripe processing (est. 2.9% + $0.30) separately; Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy are shown all-in. Platforms change pricing — check their sites for the latest.
Stan keeps more on a single sale because it takes no platform percentage — but it bills $29+ every month first. MKKT flips that: nothing until you sell, then 5% of what you actually earn.
The honest breakeven
At about $580 in monthly sales, MKKT’s 5% equals Stan’s $29/month. Below that, MKKT costs less. Above it, Stan’s flat fee can win on the margin — the difference is that MKKT only ever charges you when you’re making money.
Why creators switch
No monthly fee is just the start.
The fee
Pay only when you sell
Stan Store bills $29 to $99 every month whether or not you make a sale. MKKT charges 5% per sale and no subscription, so a slow month costs you nothing.
Your cost scales with your revenue — never ahead of it.
The build
It makes the product with you
Stan gives you a store to fill. MKKT’s product studio drafts the product, the copy, and the page from what you describe or the files you already have.
Expertise in, sellable product out — in one session.
The ownership
Your Stripe, your customers
MKKT uses Stripe Connect, so payments land in your own Stripe account on your own payout schedule. You stay the merchant and keep the customer relationship.
MKKT never holds your money or sits between you and your buyer.
The storefront
One branded link in bio
Like Stan, MKKT gives you one link to put in every bio. Unlike a link-in-bio store, it holds files, courses, and knowledge packs — a real catalog, not just buttons.
Share a single URL anywhere and native checkout handles the rest.
Pay when you sell
5% in, $0 a month.
MKKT takes 5%of each sale and never a monthly fee. Stripe’s processing fee is separate and settles in your own Stripe account, where your money lands directly.
- No monthly subscription, ever
- No setup fee — a slow month costs $0
- Your Stripe account, your customers, your payouts
- Unlimited products, courses, and knowledge packs
On a $49 sale
Stripe processing (typically 2.9% + $0.30 for a US card) settles in your own Stripe account. MKKT never holds your money.
FAQ
Questions, answered straight.
- Is MKKT cheaper than Stan Store?
- It depends on your volume. Stan Store has no per-sale platform cut but charges a monthly subscription starting at $29. MKKT has no monthly fee and charges 5% per sale. If you sell less than roughly $580 a month, MKKT's 5% costs less than Stan's $29/month. Above that, Stan's flat fee pulls ahead on the margin — but you have paid it every month you sold nothing.
- Does MKKT have a monthly fee?
- No. MKKT charges 5% per sale and nothing else — no monthly subscription, no setup fee. You pay only when you actually make a sale, so a slow month costs you $0.
- At what point does Stan Store get cheaper?
- Around $580 in monthly sales, 5% of your revenue equals Stan's $29/month Creator plan (Stan's Pro plan is $99/month). Below that line MKKT is cheaper; above it Stan's flat fee can win on the margin. The trade-off is risk: MKKT only ever costs you money when you are making money.
- Can I use MKKT as a link in bio?
- Yes. MKKT gives you a branded storefront on your own link that you can drop into any bio — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X. It holds your whole catalog of files, courses, and knowledge packs behind one URL with native checkout.
- Do I need my own Stripe account?
- Yes. MKKT uses Stripe Connect, so buyer payments land directly in your own Stripe account on your own payout schedule. You stay the merchant and own the customer relationship — MKKT never holds your money.
- What can I sell on MKKT?
- Digital downloads (guides, templates, spreadsheets, code), courses that MKKT drafts from your material, and knowledge packs like prompts, research, and playbooks. And unlike a store builder, MKKT helps you create the product itself in one session.
