Stan Store is rented: they set the price, the rules and what you can change. Freehold builds payments and memberships, checkout on your site and the rest of your business as your own platform, with your own app, for one flat price from $1,900.
A monthly subscription (see their own pricing page)

Is Freehold a good Stan Store alternative?
If you want to own your platform instead of renting it, yes. Freehold builds payments and memberships, checkout on your site and more as one platform on your own accounts, for one price. Stan Store is a subscription you keep paying for as long as you use it.
Can I move my members from Stan Store?
The Pro plan includes moving you over; on other plans it's an add-on. What can be moved depends on what Stan Store lets you export.
Will I lose features I use on Stan Store?
