Proof
Feature by feature, against Stan
Everything Stan publicly offers, and exactly where Nimbus Labs stands on each line. Stan's side was read from its own help center, app store listings and blog on September 17, 2026; the rows on the store, what you can sell, checkout and marketing were re-checked on its help center on September 26, and the rows on stores, teams, reviews, calls, ways to pay, currency, funnels, email platforms, webinars, bundles and imports on September 27. On September 28, the rows were read against its help center again, and the rows on the line about you, sales pages, teams, physical products and quizzes were corrected. Everything in the Nimbus Labs column works today; nothing there is a promise.
Checked and dated
The goal is to offer everything Stan offers and more. This page is the scoreboard for that goal, and it is deliberately uncomfortable: every line where we do not have something says so, in the same size of type as the lines where we do.

Reviews
- Stan
- Added by the creator. Their help center says customers cannot write one

Free to members, not sold on its own, and no Zoom link made for you yet — Stan is ahead there

What a full refund closes
- Stan

Where things stand today
Today you can log in without a password, take a store address that is yours, write what you sell with its price, upload the file each one delivers, connect your own Stripe account, and be paid on it — the buyer's card is charged on your account, with nothing taken on top, and the file goes out the second Stripe confirms. The demo store is still there to try first, with a test card. Our own subscription is live: $29 a month, or $99 on Pro with email to your list, free for the first 14 days, and it is what switches your page's checkout on. Everything marked as not available is exactly that — not promised, not dated. A line only changes when you can open it and try it.
About the app stores
A real App Store and Google Play app is not a design job; it is a compliance job. Apple charges $99 a year and takes a cut of subscriptions bought inside an app, and Stan's help center says an annual plan cannot be bought in its app, only in a browser. Google Play charges $25 once. The installable web app has none of that, works on both systems, and is what we ship first.
Want this on your own store?
Take your address, connect your own Stripe account and put your first product up. $29 a month and 0% of your sales, free for the first 14 days.
