Very happy with StoryChief

StoryChief has helped us overcome extensive review times with clients. The visual nature of the tool has meant that a client can now "see" what we're trying to achieve with a written piece of content. It's also helped us to think about our content holistically, not only publishing a piece, but how we plan to distribute it.

PROS

The way StoryChief is essentially built/designed in a way that makes sure you're thinking about your content holistically from how its structured (I love all the embed features in the story editor) to the way you have to publish your content. Your distribution channels are right in the tool, making sure you always think about the best way to distribute your content.

CONS

Like most tools, you can schedule a post on social media until it's published, making planning ahead a little tougher.

Vendor Response

Hi Emma Jane, Thanks a lot for your great review! It's great to see that StoryChief has helped you in various fields, and that planning, creating and distributing content is now a smooth process. The rich media embed options are great, right? And they give the blog articles such a nice layout and make them so interactive! Not sure if I misunderstood your message, but it is perfectly possible to schedule a social post beforehand! Reach out to us if you'd like to know how to do this! Happy writing!

Great partner to your Webflow website

PROS

I like that it focused on its main value proposition, once I've set it up for our company website, I no longer need to manage our Webflow-based blog. Our content writing team can do everything on their own. UI is clear and it has wide customization options.

CONS

Nothing I can think of right now. Integration with Webflow requires some technical knowledge, but that's expected. The important part is once you complete the setup process — you can forget about it.

Reason for choosing StoryChief

We used Webflow Editor – native CMS before, but it's not that easy for end-users and don't have many great features that StoryChief offer.

Vendor Response

Hi Alexey, Thanks for your nice feedback! We are indeed proud of sticking to our original value proposition, which is centralizing content and multichannel publication. We always look for ways to make the blog integration as smooth as possible, but in most of the cases this depends on the CMS system. We are always available to help if needed. Thrilled to see that the writers found better accommodation on StoryChief and don't need to access Webflow anymore! Happy publishing!

Dated, clunky, and annoying

PROS

As someone who was invited to collaborate on a document hosted on StoryChief, I can firmly say I disliked the whole experience.

CONS

Not sure if this is exclusive to users invited to collaborate on Storychief without an account, but I received emails for every single change, comment, reply, and resolved comment (easily 25+ emails each sitting) for one document. I found the overall layout dated, and for a platform that boasts so many features, it was very simple and underwhelming. The UX/UI was awful (I had to sign in so many times!) and made me want to scream at my computer. Plus, the commenting system (which was the only way I could communicate/collaborate) was very clunky and had issues every time I tried to add/edit comments.

Vendor Response

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate your comments as they help us improve our tool. We will work on being able to disable notifications and will also try to update the layout to improve the user experience. About having to log in all the time: could you tell me what browser you were using and if it was on a desktop or mobile device? There shouldn't be any reason why you would need to log in frequently or have a clunky experience, so we'd love to investigate this further. You can give us more information on support@storychief.io. Thank you!

Saves me hours every week

PROS

Love how fast and focused I am when I use StoryChief. This is due to the design (no distractions) and speed (eg minimal image upload time) of the software.

CONS

The onboarding lacked a little bit of depth when I joined back in 2018. I ended up with duplicate content on my website and the StoryChief blog but the team were great and solved the issue rapidly.

Reasons for switching to StoryChief

Wordpress was slowing me down everytime I wanted to upload an image but I was still fairly happy with with them. However, when I gave StoryChief a try on a trial basis, I noticed a huuuuge difference in my productivity.

Vendor Response

Hi Joyce! Thank you for the review and thanks for sticking with us for so long, we truly appreciate it! Our support team is always happy to answer to any questions you might have.
