Which should you choose?

It depends on your needs

Different verticals, different tools

If you're a coach or course creator selling digital products with checkout-qualification flows, Stan's vertical focus is genuinely helpful — $29/mo is steep but the product meets you where you live. If you're a service SMB running lead gen, pipelines, and follow-ups, Stan's surface is a mismatch and Instaform is the $19/mo alternative.

Choose Instaform if:

  • · You're a service SMB, not a course creator
  • · You need lead capture before checkout
  • · You need SEO (blog, meta tags, indexing)

Choose Stan Store if:

  • · You're selling digital products or courses
  • · Checkout-qualification is your main flow
  • · You grew up in Stan already
