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.

The store

  • Store page on a phone

    Stan
    Yes
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes, and faster (97–100 against 57–58 on PageSpeed)
  • Themes and colors

    Stan
    Yes, limited
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes — four themes, ten colors or any color of your own, and your photo. Every color is checked for contrast before your page uses it
  • A line about you on the page

    Stan
    A short profile bio, and no separate About Me page
    Nimbus Labs
    Every store, under your name
  • Products on one store

    Stan
    Unlimited
    Nimbus Labs
    Up to 2,000 products and 100 links, 24 products a page on the store and search in your studio — Stan is ahead here

    Stan
    Yes — thumbnails shown as Button, Callout or Preview
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes — a picture on each product, shown as Button, Callout or Preview, the same three

    Not available
    Nimbus Labs
    Up to three, each with its own file or link

    Nimbus Labs
    Yes, on the $29 plan: up to 30 blocks per product — hero, video from YouTube, Vimeo or Loom, benefits, what is inside, about you, questions, guarantee, buttons and reviews — with its own search title and description and a share picture drawn for it
  • Reviews

    Stan
    Added by the creator. Their help center says customers cannot write one
    Nimbus Labs
    Written only by paying buyers, checked on your Stripe account. You can answer or hide one, never edit or delete it; hidden reviews still count in the average, and a full refund takes the stars out
  • Your own domain

    Stan
    Not available
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes, on the $99 Pro plan, with the certificate handled for you
  • Custom code on the page

    Nimbus Labs
    Up to five in one account, each with its own address, Stripe account and plan, switched at the top of the studio
  • A team with roles

    Stan
    Not for the store: their help center says the only way to give someone admin access is to share your login. Admins and moderators exist inside the community only

    Yes, up to 5 GB
  • Selling something bigger

    Stan
    Their help center: host it on Google Drive or Dropbox and use Redirect to URL

    Sell it as a link. Same escape hatch, and we say so on the product itself

    No figure in their help center
    Nimbus Labs
    200 GB a month, published, and shown in your account as it is used

    Nimbus Labs
    Yes — daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, on your own Stripe, with a free trial of 1 to 90 days and an end after 2 to 36 payments if you want them. Members cancel on their own, through Stripe, without writing to you, and files, courses and the community close when a membership ends

    Yes — Zoom or Google Meet links created automatically
    Nimbus Labs
    Google Meet links made automatically once you connect your Google Calendar, or your own meeting link, or a private Jitsi Meet room made for each booking. The first person in a Jitsi room may be asked to sign in to Jitsi to start it. No Zoom link is made for you yet — Stan is ahead on Zoom
  • Coaching calls with a calendar

    Stan
    Yes — with Google Calendar and reminder emails
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes — your hours in your time zone, times shown to each buyer in theirs, held while they pay, a calendar file emailed to both of you, reminders a day and an hour before, and buyers who move their own booking up to twice. Busy times in up to three Google, Outlook or iCloud calendars hide call times; bookings reach your calendar as a feed you subscribe to, and only calls set to Google Meet are written into your connected Google Calendar as events
  • Group calls

    Stan
    Yes — a maximum number of attendees
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes — 1 to 50 people per time slot, with the seats left shown to buyers

    Yes — live sessions on dates you set, up to 50 dates per product and 1 to 500 seats each, held in a Google Meet made on your connected Google Calendar, on the meeting service whose link you give, or in a Jitsi Meet room made for each session.

  • Community

    Stan
    Yes, one per account, with webinars inside it
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes, one per store, on the $29 plan: up to 20 spaces, posts with a picture, comments, likes, pinned posts, an opt-in member directory, reports and moderation, open only to the buyers you choose. Announcements by email on Pro. No live chat
  • Webinars inside the community

    Stan
    Yes — a webinar product added to the community, which members sign up for on its landing page, with Zoom or Google Meet links made automatically
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes — live events: up to 50 coming up, RSVPs with a cap of 1 to 5,000, the way in on the event's page from 15 minutes before, in a private Jitsi Meet room shown on the page, at your own link or in a Google Meet made on your connected Google Calendar, reminders a day and an hour before, emails when one moves or is canceled, and replays from YouTube, Vimeo or Loom. Free to members, not sold on its own, and no Zoom link made for you yet — Stan is ahead there
  • Bundles

    Stan
    Their Digital Downloads help section lists bundles among the files you can sell as one download. No product type that hands over other products in their help center

    Yes, as one of their product types
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes, as their own list — no price on them and nothing to check out

    Nimbus Labs
    Not available

    Not in their help center
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes — up to 20 questions after any lesson, a pass mark and a number of tries, and a certificate with a page of its own that anyone can open to check it. The certificate is printed or saved as a PDF from the browser

    Stan
    Yes, on the $99 plan
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes, on the $29 plan, with Affirm, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, iDEAL, Bancontact and more: the ways to pay you switch on in your own Stripe account, where Stripe offers them

  • Order bumps and upsells

    Stan
    Yes, on the $99 plan
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes, on the $29 plan: a box the buyer checks at checkout, and one click after paying, charged to the same card
  • Limited quantity

    Stan
    Yes, on the $99 plan
    Nimbus Labs
    Yes — the count shown is the real one, and a unit someone is paying for is held so the last one is never sold twice
  • Payment plans

    Stan
    Yes, on the $99 plan

    Yes, on the $29 plan: 2 to 12 weekly or monthly payments, ending by themselves after the last

  • Logging in

    Stan
    An account with a password, by their own signup page
    Nimbus Labs

  • What a full refund closes

    Stan
    Not something we can check from outside
    Nimbus Labs
    On Nimbus: the download at once, the course within 10 minutes, the community within 5, and the license key revoked within about 5. On a payment plan, a full refund of its first payment does the same

Marketing

  • Email broadcasts and flows

    Stan
    Yes, on the $99 plan only
    Nimbus Labs

    Stan
    Yes — a flow with an abandoned-cart trigger, on the $99 plan
    Nimbus Labs
    One reminder per checkout, on the $29 plan, only to buyers who agreed on Stripe's page. Off until you switch it on, and only for a Stripe account in the United States. Not for calls or live sessions

    Nimbus Labs

    Stan
    Yes, on the $99 plan, since June 2026 — landing pages, checkout and upsells
    Nimbus Labs
    Mostly, on the $29 plan, as steps you connect: a landing page that gives something free for an email and shows a paid product next, a sales page, a box at checkout, and up to five one-click offers after paying with a path for yes and for no. No builder that chains pages together, and no thank-you page of your own
  • Email platforms

    Stan
    Mailchimp and other email tools through Zapier
    Nimbus Labs

  • Advertising pixels

    Stan
    Yes, on the $99 plan
    Nimbus Labs

    Stan

    Stan
    None published
    Nimbus Labs
    Webhooks: up to five addresses, seven events, signed, for Zapier's Catch Hook, Make or your own server. No public API beyond a license-key check
  • Importing your list

    Stan
    A CSV, up to 5,000 imported contacts per store in all, each sent an email to opt in again

  • Importing products

    Stan
    Not in their help center
    Nimbus Labs
    A CSV, up to 500 a file, as drafts: title, price, description and link. Files, pictures and lessons are added afterwards
  • Past buyers from another platform

    Stan
    Access granted one customer at a time, to downloads, courses and the community, with no bulk undo
    Nimbus Labs
    A CSV, up to 20,000 a file: files, links, courses, bundles and the community, and one email to them if you choose. Not memberships or calls, and no undo in one step

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.
