Rates verified 2026-08-15
The short answer
Stan Store takes 0% of your sales but charges $29 a month before you have made any, and Fanvault takes 8% but charges nothing to start. The crossover is about $363 a month in sales: below that Fanvault costs less, above it Stan's flat subscription wins on digital products. The other difference matters more than the money for some creators: Stan has no free plan and no custom domain on any tier, and it does not handle physical items or auctions at all.

What you keep
The same sale, run through both platforms. Fanvault's column is computed from the live platform rate, and Stan Store's from their published Creator rate. Their $29 monthly subscription is not included in these rows, because it does not scale with a single sale. Add it to their side when you compare a month.

Where Stan Store wins
- Funnels. Order bumps, upsells and affiliate tracking on Creator Pro are more developed than anything Fanvault offers, and for a course business that machinery is the product.
- 0% on sales, genuinely. Above roughly $363 a month in digital sales, Stan's flat subscription costs a creator less than our 8%, and at $5,000 a month it is not close.
- Booking and scheduling are native, so coaches do not need Calendly bolted on.
- It is purpose-built for one job. If you sell courses and nothing else, a tool that only sells courses is easier to run than one that also does auctions and shipping.
How to pick
Choose Stan Store if
- You sell courses or coaching at volume and the subscription is cheaper than a percentage
- You want built-in funnels, order bumps and an affiliate program
- Scheduling and bookings are central to what you sell
Choose Fanvault if
- You are not selling yet and do not want a $29 bill before your first sale
- You sell physical items, signed goods or memorabilia
- You want to run auctions
- You want a custom-domain-capable page and a marketplace that surfaces you to buyers
Switching
Nothing to export. Rebuild the storefront by telling Fanvault AI what you sold on Stan and at what prices, then run both for a month and compare the take-home. Digital products carry over cleanly; anything physical is new ground because Stan does not do it.
Fanvault vs Stan Store: common questions
- Is Fanvault cheaper than Stan Store?
- Below about $363 a month in sales, yes, because Fanvault has no subscription and Stan charges $29 before you sell anything. Above that, Stan's 0% platform fee beats our 8% on digital products. The honest answer depends on your volume, and if you are already doing several thousand a month in courses, Stan is likely the cheaper tool.
- Does Stan Store have a free plan?
- No. There is a 14 day trial on both plans, then billing starts at $29 a month. Fanvault is free to join and free to list, and only takes a cut when something sells.
- Can Stan Store sell physical products?
- Not with real fulfillment. Stan is built for digital products, courses, coaching and bookings. Fanvault handles physical items end to end, including prepaid shipping labels and tracking, plus auctions for one-of-a-kind pieces.
- Can I use a custom domain with Stan Store?
- No, not on any plan. A URL redirect is the usual workaround, but visitors still see stan.store/yourname in the address bar afterwards.
