Worth knowing about Stem

  • ★ Stem is NOT a DIY option any more. It exited mass-market DIY distribution in 2019 and is application-gated.
  • Widely-cited 5% commission figures are the pre-2019 legacy rate, and Stem publishes no current public rate card.
  • ★ Stem is now CONCORD-OWNED as of March 2025, which materially changes the independent-distributor framing most comparison articles still use.
  • ⚠ Everything below the master line is unverifiable from public primary sources. This row is mostly UNKNOWN on purpose rather than filled in from review sites.
