Our take

Storyteller offers an end-to-end service that allows clients to publish Stories to its app. According to Storyteller, clients can boost user engagement, retention, and revenue through its in-app Stories.

What's more, Storyteller's platform comes with various analytics and management tools, allowing clients to measure user engagement, conversion & loyalty as well as create, schedule & preview their Stories.

Storyteller also differentiates itself through its industry‑leading UX: it allows clients to bring a trending format to users, which includes various features such as swipe-up action, hold to pause and gesture navigation.
