Built for the people a checkout page holds back

Creators who sell and post everywhere

Your store and your posts live in one login. Post to All sends one post to any of Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, X, LinkedIn and Threads.

  • Merch and tips sell from the free plan, and digital products and courses start on Plus.
  • Post to All is built in, with no separate product to buy.
  • Instagram and Facebook comments turn into DMs with your link.

Brands, restaurants and venues

Your page captures customers and reports what worked, on plans built for a business instead of a store for one creator.

  • Leads keeps every contact, with CSV export on Pro.
  • Page analytics show views, clicks, traffic sources and locations.
  • Linkme Business comes in three packages, AI Standard, AI Power Maxed and Enterprise, each with Link, your AI Social Media Manager, unlimited users and unlimited brands. They differ in AI credits: AI Standard has 20,000 a month, AI Power Maxed 50,000 and Enterprise 100,000 or more. Pricing is agreed on a demo.

Agencies and teams

Run every client page from one Linkme agency dashboard on the Agency plan, instead of one subscription and one shared password per store. Give each person a role: Owner, Super Manager, Manager or Member.

  • Every client page sits under one login.
  • Roles replace a shared password.
  • Each person signs in with their own login.

How do I move from Stan Store to Linkme?

Create your Linkme page, add your links and products and put your link.me in your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X bios. Merch and tips sell on a Linkme page from the free plan, with print and shipping handled for merch. Digital products and courses start on Plus.

Does Linkme have bookings?

No. Linkme does not have a booking feature. Add a link to Calendly or a similar tool on your page, and visitors book there.

Does Stan Store post to social media?

Not on its own. Posting runs through Stanley, a separate product with its own subscription that the Creator and Creator Pro plans do not include. Post to All is on every Linkme plan: 10 posts on Free, and unlimited posts on Plus and Pro. Each plan sets how many networks one post can go to at once.

Does Stan Store send email?

Only on Creator Pro, at $99 a month or $79 a month billed yearly. On Creator, lead magnets collect emails, but you cannot send email broadcasts. Send email campaigns to all your contacts or a list you pick, and see who opens and clicks. Sending email is on Pro and on every Business plan.

Which is better for a brand or a team?

Linkme. Stan's help center says the only way to give a teammate access is to share your login, and each store is its own account. On Linkme, a manager signs in to help through the Agency plan, and every page sits under one login. Give each person a role: Owner, Super Manager, Manager or Member. Linkme Business comes in three packages, AI Standard, AI Power Maxed and Enterprise, each with Link, your AI Social Media Manager, unlimited users and unlimited brands. They differ in AI credits: AI Standard has 20,000 a month, AI Power Maxed 50,000 and Enterprise 100,000 or more. Pricing is agreed on a demo.
