Kahana vs. Stan: What are the Differences?
We have received many questions about Kahana and Stan. Some people who use Stan have asked how Kahana differs from it, while others are just curious about the differences between the two products.
The truth is that Kahana and Stan are actually complementary and completely different platforms. Stan is essentially the ultimate or self-proclaimed "ultimate Link in bio store."
Stan's alternatives are more Beacons, Linktree, and Pensight.
With Stan, you pay a monthly subscription of $30 and can manage all of your digital products and have a website or store that hosts all of your stuff. You can have coaching calls, sell digital products, sell audits, send out text messages, and more.
In contrast, Kahana allows you to create hubs that can be digital products that you can put as one of the links in your Stan store.
In a nutshell, Kahana enables you to create a digital product by taking your best content information and files and bundling them into a repository of knowledge that you can charge recurring subscription revenue to access, and then it goes into your Stan Store.
Using Kahana and Stan together
So Kahana and Stan complement each other and we recommend using both together.
It's not one or the other, as you should have a link in your bio and an easy way to create digital products. Stan is the former, while Kahana is the latter.
Other Differences between Stan vs. Kahana
Another key difference is that Stan is meant for individual creators who have their links and bios in their stores, where they can sell their digital products.
Kahana, on the other hand, is a collaborative platform that allows you to build digital products not only by yourself but also with other creators. Then each of you can put that link into a Kahana hub that you create in your link and bio in your Stan store.
Why do people choose Kahana over Stan?
People may choose Kahana over Stan Store because Kahana is specifically designed to create and monetize digital products in the form of hubs, while Stan Store is more of an all-in-one platform for managing and selling various types of digital products, as well as managing other aspects of your business.
Additionally, Kahana offers a collaborative platform, allowing multiple creators to work together on creating digital products, while Stan Store is geared more towards individual creators. Ultimately, it depends on the individual's needs and preferences for their business.
