Stan Store is a link-in-bio storefront you rent for a flat monthly fee. OfficeOS builds you a native app that carries your own brand, paid for out of what it earns — not a subscription fee.
For creators who've already proven an offer works, OfficeOS is the stronger long-term platform — it's the only one of the two that puts a push notification on a subscriber's home screen and hands you full ownership of that relationship.
Push notifications — the single biggest retention lever a web page doesn't have
Your own app icon on the subscriber's home screen, not a bookmarked link
Full ownership of the account, payment method, and notification channel
No upfront cost — paid only from a share of what the app earns
Live same-day — a template storefront needs no App Store review
Flat, predictable pricing that's cheap to budget against at low volume
No app to design or maintain — good for testing whether an offer works at all
Paid from a share of what the app earns. Apple/Google still take their standard 15–30% commission on in-app subscriptions — the same cut any app pays, ours or otherwise.
Flat monthly fee (Creator / Creator Pro), 0% additional transaction fees on top.
You're testing whether an offer works at all
You want to start selling today, not next month
Your audience is small enough that a flat fee beats a revenue share
You already know the offer works and retention is the next problem
You want to own the subscriber relationship, not rent it
You're ready to give fans a reason to open something daily — a push notification, not just an email
Not upfront. Stan Store charges a flat $29–$99/month regardless of revenue. OfficeOS charges nothing upfront and is paid from a share of what the app earns instead — so at low revenue OfficeOS is the cheaper option outright, and at high revenue it still beats a fixed subscription fee once you factor in what a real app returns in retention. Both still pay Apple/Google's standard 15–30% commission on in-app subscriptions.
Yes, and it's the most common path. Creators start on Stan Store to validate an offer, then move to OfficeOS once they have proof an audience will pay and retention becomes the bottleneck a web storefront structurally can't solve.
No. Stan Store is a web-based storefront, so it relies on email rather than native push notifications. A native app is the only way to put a notification directly on a subscriber's phone — which is why apps retain subscribers a storefront simply can't reach.
No, for either. Stan Store is a no-code storefront builder. OfficeOS goes further — we design, build, launch, and operate the entire app for you, so you never touch code or an App Store submission yourself.
