The complete creator
Stan doesn't give you.
Stan's link-in-bio lacks native monetization, tailored analytics, and audience management. Linklify covers all three — creator store, click analytics, and email capture built into your profile page.
Gaps Stan acknowledges in its own link-in-bio
Monetization
No native store on the profile page itself
Analytics
No per-link click tracking or audience insights
Lead capture
No built-in email / audience collection

Why creators switch from Stan
Monetization built directly into your profile
Stan's link-in-bio doesn't surface products natively — visitors have to click away to your store. Linklify embeds your creator store directly on your profile page so fans can browse and buy without leaving.
Per-link analytics that actually tell you something
Stan's analytics don't break down performance by individual link. Linklify shows click counts, top links, and referrer data per link — so you know exactly what your audience responds to.
Collect leads straight from your bio
Stan has no built-in email capture on the link-in-bio. Linklify includes a leads form on every account — visitors subscribe directly from your profile, and you own that list forever.
One price: $5/mo, everything in
Stan starts at $29/month for Creator and runs to $99/month for Creator Pro. Linklify is $5/month and includes analytics, digital downloads, and unlimited short links, everything a creator needs without the platform tax.
