Eden vs Stan

Your link in bio, your products, and an AI your buyers can talk to.

Stan is the easiest store a creator can open: one page, one checkout, 0% fees. Eden gives you the page and the checkout, then lets you sell what Stan can't: a Custom AI built from your course that teaches buyers in your voice, inside Eden or inside Claude.

The short version

Checked September 18, 2026

Stan is the fastest way to sell downloads, calls, and memberships from a link in bio, and it takes 0% per sale. Eden takes 5%, sells the same calls and memberships, and adds something Stan can't: your knowledge as an AI that coaches every buyer for you, one-on-one, in your voice, at midnight, without you. Pick Stan for a community or a zero fee. Pick Eden if what you sell is what you know.

01 · Your page

One link in your bio, nine looks.

  • Photo, bio, and every product. Your page lives at your handle. Publish a product and its card appears. Add links, a video, a welcome note, and an email capture in the order you choose.

  • Seven designs, one accent. Studio, Paper, Poster, Retro, Synthwave, Minimal, Bloom. Pick one, set the color, and the page and your product pages match.

  • Page views and top clicks. See who came and what they tapped. The Built on Eden badge at the bottom carries your referral code, so signups from your page pay you too.

02 · What you sell

A course buyers can talk to.

  • Your lessons become the AI. Modules from your workspace, in order, with progress. Publish and Eden writes the notes the AI needs to open the right lesson for every question.

  • Answers in your voice, at midnight. Instructions, starters, and knowledge stay yours. The buyer asks, the AI teaches from lesson 3.1, and you are asleep.

  • Every shape, your price. An AI tool, a course taught by AI, a plain course, a download, a cohort, or coaching. Paid once, monthly, or yearly, or free, with discount codes and a was-price when you want them.

03 · Coaching

Calls with you, an AI between them.

  • People apply before they pay. Your page shows Apply instead of Buy. Approve, invite to a call first, or decline and offer your course instead. Hide the price if you want.

  • Calls on the calendar you already use. Clients book your Google Calendar inside Eden, with a Google Meet link on every call. Or connect Calendly or Cal.com, and booked, moved, and canceled calls land on the right client by themselves.

  • An AI that knows each client. It knows your method, their intake answers, and the notes you share with them, so clients keep moving between calls. Notes you keep private never reach it.

04 · Where buyers use it

Inside Eden, or inside Claude.

  • Every buyer gets an Eden workspace. The lessons, the chat, their notes and highlights, on the web and in the iOS and Android apps.

  • Works in the AI they already pay for. Add the Eden MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor and the product shows up there, knowledge included. Loading it costs the buyer nothing.

  • Templates they can copy. Boards, tables, and docs in your product become templates. One click and the buyer has their own copy to fill in, and your AI can work on it.

05 · The money

Paid by Stripe, plus 20% on every upgrade.

  • Straight to your Stripe account. Connect once. Buyers pay through your account, Eden keeps a flat 5%, and the rest is yours the moment it lands.

  • Every buyer becomes a referral. When a buyer upgrades their Eden plan, you earn 20% of every payment for as long as they stay. 22.5% once your referrals pay $1,000 a month, 25% at $7,500, 30% at $25,000.

  • Run it from chat. Ask how sales went this week, who bought, or to raise a price. Eden reads your store and saves the change as a draft. Publishing stays a click you make.

Stan is cheaper per sale, and it stays cheaper as you grow. Eden's $29 is the workspace you already work in with the store included, and you earn 20% of every Eden plan your buyers go on to pay for.

Credit where it's due

What Stan does well

  • A community in the same store as your products and bookings.
  • Payment plans, funnels, and affiliates on Creator Pro.
  • Built-in email marketing with broadcasts and flows on Creator Pro.
The wedge

What Eden does that Stan doesn't

  • A Custom AI that teaches your course and answers buyers in your voice.
  • Buyers get a workspace and can use the product in Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor.
  • 20 to 30% recurring commission when your buyers upgrade their Eden plan.
  • The store is part of the workspace where you research, write, and schedule.
Honest recommendation

Pick the tool that fits the work in front of you.

Pick Stan if

Pick Stan if your business runs on a community, or if you sell a high volume of downloads and every percent matters. It is the simplest store on the market and it takes nothing per sale.

Pick Eden if

Pick Eden if what you sell is what you know. Your course becomes an AI buyers can ask, your page lives next to your notes and your scheduler, and the people who buy from you become subscribers who pay you back.

06 · Switching

Move your Stan customers in an afternoon.

  • Import your buyers. Export your customers from Stan, upload the CSV, choose up to ten products, and everyone gets lifetime access. Send access emails, or stay quiet until launch.

  • Bring your reviews. Testimonials import with their original date and source, and wait in your queue until you approve them.

  • Swap the link. Put your Eden page in your bio. Turn your Stan store off when you are ready, and nobody who already bought loses anything on Eden.

FAQ

Eden vs Stan, common questions.

Is Eden a good Stan Store alternative?

Yes, if you sell knowledge. Eden gives you the same kind of page at your handle, a Stripe checkout, customer import, and reviews, and adds a Custom AI built from your course that buyers can talk to. It sells coaching, memberships, and communities too, with group chat, a forum, events, and member apps on iOS and Android.

How much does Eden cost compared to Stan?

Both start at $29 a month. Stan takes 0% per sale and charges $99 a month for discount codes, upsells, funnels, and email marketing. Eden takes 5% per sale, includes discount codes, order bumps, and email broadcasts on every selling plan (upsells, email sequences, affiliates, and pixels on Pro at $79), and the $29 Starter plan is the same plan that runs your whole workspace: notes, boards, research, scheduling, and 200 AI credits a month.

Can I move my Stan customers to Eden?

Yes. Export your customers from Stan, then open Store → Customers → Import customers in Eden. Upload the CSV or paste emails, choose up to ten products, and everyone on the list gets lifetime access. You choose whether Eden emails them an access link. Reviews and testimonials can be imported too, with their original date and source.

Does Eden have bookings, memberships, or a community like Stan?

Yes, all three. Eden has its own booking links, free or paid, on your Google Calendar with Google Meet. A coaching product includes calls that clients book there (or through Calendly, Cal.com, or any booking link), a private space for each client, and an AI that knows their intake answers between calls. Any product can be a monthly or yearly membership. A community is a product too: a chat with channels and threads, a forum for posts worth keeping, events members sync to their calendar, and the Eden app on iOS and Android. Starter runs 1 community, Pro 3, and Max unlimited, with no member cap.

Should I use Eden or Stan?

Stan is the fastest way to sell downloads, calls, and memberships from a link in bio, and it takes 0% per sale. Eden takes 5%, sells the same calls and memberships, and adds something Stan can't: your knowledge as an AI that coaches every buyer for you, one-on-one, in your voice, at midnight, without you. Pick Stan for a community or a zero fee. Pick Eden if what you sell is what you know.

Does Stan have an MCP server?

Yes. Stan publishes an MCP server at mcp.stan.store that lets Claude and ChatGPT read your profile, your store pages and products, and your orders and audience. It is read-only as of September 2026. Eden's MCP reads and writes: it drafts products, edits your page, looks up customers, resends access emails, and reports sales, and buyers use it to load what they bought into Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor.

Sell what you know.

The page, the checkout, and an AI that teaches it. From $29 a month, 5% per sale.
