Brandzy vs Stan Store: the Stan Store alternative for Indian creators
Brandzy gives you what you would use Stan Store for: a link-in-bio store, built-in checkout, courses, an email list and email automations. Then it runs your brand deals, invoices and media kit too, from ₹999 a month billed in rupees.
Brandzy does more. You get the full selling toolkit (storefront, UPI checkout straight to your UPI ID, course builder, email list, broadcasts and email automations) plus a sponsorship pipeline, invoices, a client CRM and a live media kit, for ₹999/month with no commission. Stan Store starts at $29/month and does not list any brand-deal tools.
Stan Store is ahead in two places today: Instagram AutoDM and international card checkout. Both are coming to Brandzy soon.

Everything you would use Stan Store for, and more
Store, checkout, courses, email list, broadcasts and automations are all in Brandzy. On top of that you get a second half that Stan Store does not list at all: the tools to run your brand deals. In every row of the table where Stan says "Not listed", Brandzy says yes.
Why Indian creators switch to Brandzy
1. Brand deals are most of the money
For many Indian YouTubers and Instagram creators, sponsorships earn more than product sales. Stan Store is built around selling to fans. Brandzy tracks every sponsorship from the first message to the final payment: inquiry, negotiation, contract, delivery and paid.
2. Brands reach you through your media kit
Your Brandzy link shows your audience numbers, rate card and the brands you have worked with. When a brand fills in the inquiry form, Brandzy creates the deal for you and notifies you, even when the app is closed.
3. Invoices and follow-ups without spreadsheets
Create an invoice from a deal, send it by email or WhatsApp, see what is due or overdue, and send payment reminders. Mark it paid and the deal moves to Paid by itself.
4. Pay in rupees
Brandzy costs ₹999 a month and you pay by UPI, card or net banking. Tools priced in US dollars cost more when the rupee falls, and some Indian cards add a foreign transaction charge.
5. Sell anything from the same link
The Brandzy store has 17 categories: digital downloads, e-books, online courses, templates, presets, music, art, bundles, 1:1 coaching calls, consultations, workshops, memberships, services, physical merch, affiliate links, a tip jar and "other". Fans pay you by UPI straight to your own UPI ID, so there is no payout wait.
6. Email that sells for you
Everyone who buys from you or joins your list lands in your email list. Send broadcasts, or set up automations once: a welcome series for new subscribers and follow-ups after someone buys, sent days apart on their own.
Where Stan Store is still ahead (for now)
- Instagram AutoDM. Stan can DM people who comment a keyword. Brandzy Auto DM is built and coming soon.
- International card checkout. Stan takes card payments with automatic confirmation. Brandzy checkout is UPI today, with cards coming soon.
If neither of those is essential for you right now, Brandzy gives you more for less.
