Stan and Hiyaly, side by side

Drag across to compare the two homepages. Both are real screenshots, taken the same week.

The short answer

Stan is a store first: checkout, courses, bookings and email, from $29 a month with no transaction fees. Hiyaly is a link-in-bio page at $8 a month, or $72 a year, that sells downloads, tips and paid calls at 0% Hiyaly fees and links out for the rest. If courses and memberships are the main job, Stan is built for it; if you mostly share links and sell a few things, Hiyaly costs far less.

Selling courses or memberships is your main income.
You want checkout, bookings and email in one place with no transaction fee from Stan.
You want upsells, order bumps and affiliate tools (Creator Pro).
You want email broadcasts and flows next to your store (Creator Pro).

Why people switch from Stan

1
You mostly share links
If your bio link points to videos, posts, partners and a shop you already have, a $29 store is more than you need. Hiyaly Pro is $8 a month.
2
Your shop already lives somewhere else
Selling on Shopify, Etsy or Gumroad already? Hiyaly links straight there, so you don't pay for a second checkout you won't use.
3
Hiya does the setup
Tell Hiya where you post and it brings in your photo, bio and links from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or X. You're ready to publish in a few minutes.
4
The extras a bio page needs
Messages from visitors, scheduled links, a link shortener with click counts, QR codes and a verified badge a person checks all come with Hiyaly.

A store or a link page?

Stan and Hiyaly solve different problems. Stan is a store that lives in your bio: people can buy a course, book a call or join a membership without leaving the page. Hiyaly is a page of links, videos and sign-ups that can also sell downloads and tips and take paid bookings, and links out for anything else.

If courses or memberships bring in most of your income, Stan's store is the point. If your bio link is mostly about your content and socials, with a few downloads or calls on the side, you'd be paying for a store you don't need.

What a year costs

Stan's Creator plan is $29 a month ($348 a year), or $300 if you pay yearly. Creator Pro is $99 a month, or $948 yearly. There's no free plan, but there's a 14-day free trial. Stan is also rolling out a Creator Max plan at $299 a month.

Hiyaly Pro is $8 a month, or $72 a year, per page. To be fair, if you sell courses or physical goods, you'll also pay for a platform like Shopify or a course host, and its fees. Add those up before you compare totals.

Fees on sales

Stan takes no transaction fee on any plan. You pay Stripe or PayPal processing, and that's it. That's a real strength, and better than tools that keep a percentage.

Hiyaly takes no fee either. Downloads, tips and paid bookings are charged on your own Stripe account at 0%, so you pay Stripe's processing, the same as on Stan.

Domains, email and pixels

Stan stores live at stan.store/yourname. A custom domain needs Creator Max, which isn't open to everyone yet; otherwise Stan suggests forwarding your domain to your store. Hiyaly pages live at hiyaly.com/yourname, and Pro lets you show yours at your own domain too.

Stan's Creator plan collects emails, and Creator Pro adds email broadcasts, flows and pixel tracking for Meta, Google, Pinterest and TikTok. Hiyaly Pro collects sign-ups and sends them to Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Kit and more, with Meta and Google pixels.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hiyaly free?

There's no free plan, but there's a 14-day free trial on Pro, monthly or yearly, with no card needed. After that it's $8 a month, or $72 a year, per page. Stan has no free plan either, and its trial is also 14 days.

Can I move my Stan links to Hiyaly?

Yes. Hiya brings in your photo, bio and links from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or X, and you can add any other links by hand. Hiyaly's shop sells downloads and tips, so add those to it and set up your calls as bookings. Courses and memberships need to stay on Stan, or on another platform you link to.

Can I keep my Stan Store and use Hiyaly too?

Yes. Put your Stan Store link on your Hiyaly page next to your other links, and use Hiyaly as the link in your bio.

Does Hiyaly have bookings like Stan?

Yes. Connect Google Calendar, add your services and hours, and visitors book free times with a Google Meet link. Paid sessions go through your own Stripe at 0% Hiyaly fees.
