Stan Store is a creator storefront wearing a link-in-bio shape: courses, coaching, digital downloads and checkout all live on the page, and the product is optimised end to end for conversion. Lyncta does not process payments at all. What it does instead is booking with Google Calendar sync, email and SMS campaigns, QR codes and short links. If your page exists to sell digital products, Stan is the stronger product and this is an easy call. If it exists to get you booked and to build a list, Lyncta covers more.
Where Lyncta wins: Appointment booking with availability rules, buffers, two-way Google Calendar sync and automatic reminder and cancellation emails. SMS campaigns billed per message alongside email, from one shared contact list. Dynamic QR codes and branded short links on l1n.it, with scan and click analytics for offline and cross-channel campaigns. Print and direct mail campaigns on the Business plan. Staff accounts with scoped permissions, API access and white-label branding. The interface is translated into nine languages.
Where Stan Store is the better choice: You sell digital products, courses or memberships. Lyncta has no storefront, no checkout and no payouts. You want purchase data driving your email — Stan connects selling and sending in a way Lyncta cannot. You want course hosting in the same product. Your revenue comes from the page itself rather than from work booked through it.
Can I sell courses or digital products on Lyncta? No. Lyncta does not process payments, host courses or handle payouts. You can link out to an external checkout, but the sale happens elsewhere. If selling digital products is the point of your page, Stan Store is the better product.
Is Lyncta free? Stan Store is paid. Yes. Lyncta has a Free plan at $0 with no time limit covering an unlimited-link page, one booking type, 5 short links, 3 QR codes and basic analytics. Pro is $1.99 per month and Business, which adds email and SMS, is $29 per month.
What does Lyncta do that Stan Store does not? SMS campaigns billed per message, branded short links on l1n.it, dynamic QR codes you can repoint after printing, print and direct mail campaigns, staff accounts with scoped permissions, API access and an interface in nine languages.
Can I use both? Yes, and for some businesses that is the honest answer. Run Stan for product sales and Lyncta as the booking and campaign side, linking between them. Neither product prevents it.
