What is different?
Choose for the job you need
Count the cost you already pay
Stan says AutoDM is included in all Stan Store subscriptions without a separate AutoDM fee.
Adding a paid reply tool is an extra cost if you keep the store. Do not compare the store bill as if it only buys DMs.
Keep checkout working
Stan AutoDM connects replies to offers, freebies, bookings and communities in your store.
WinkSend can send a store link. It does not rebuild your products or checkout.
Test the trigger you need
WinkSend Free includes comment, Story, DM and Live reply triggers.
Check your exact Stan workflow before moving it. A documented example is not a delivery test.

Questions before you choose
Does AutoDM cost extra in Stan?
Stan says it is included in all store subscriptions. Your store subscription still has its own price.
Should I cancel Stan to use WinkSend?
Not if your products and checkout are there. Test a reply with the same store link first.
Will my products move automatically?
No automatic transfer is claimed. Keep products and checkout in place while you test the reply.
