Why Upskwela is the Better Stan Alternative for Filipino Creators

Stan is a popular creator platform globally, but if you're a Filipino creator building for a local audience, Stan's limitations become clear. Here's why Upskwela is the better alternative.

1. Local Payments for Filipino Audiences

Stan relies on Stripe (USD/International Cards). Upskwela supports GCash, Maya, and Local Bank Transfers. This is critical because many Filipino learners do not have credit cards.

2. PHP Pricing vs USD Pricing

Stan charges $29-99/month in USD. That's ₱1,500-5,000+ per month, and it fluctuates with the exchange rate. Upskwela offers predictable PHP pricing starting at FREE.

3. Built-in Community Features

Stan focuses on digital product sales. Upskwela is a complete community learning platform with forums, group chats, and events. This helps you build relationships, not just transactions.

4. Keep More of Your Revenue

With Upskwela's Pro Plan (₱4,999/mo), you keep 97% of your revenue. Even on the Free plan, you can start earning without paying a monthly subscription fee.

When Might Stan Make Sense?

Stan is great if you have a primarily international audience that pays in USD and you only need a simple "Link in Bio" store. But for a robust Filipino community, Upskwela is superior.

The Right Platform for Filipino Creators

Stan is a great global platform, but Upskwela is built specifically for YOU.
