Was hoping for more, but a good deal
I had been sitting on the fence with Story Chief. What sucked me in at the 11th hour was watching either the video or the webinar replay and seeing it had a tool to tally the SEO score and readability. I already have WebTextTool, which is fairly robust in the scoring department, but I really liked the look of the Story Chief editor better. So, I thought, for $98 (I stacked two deals), I would get another tool similar to WebTextTool. The SEO score tool with Story Chief is pretty basic, which was a little disappointing to me because that was what attracted me to the product.
Some might rightfully look at my comments and charge me with nitpicking because of all the other wonderful things it does, but I was hoping for a robust SEO scorer in a better editor.
I wish I were able to give it 3.5 tacos, but I would rather err on the side of caution. I am looking forward to exploring the other features.

May 9, 2024Hi there and thank you for your honest evaluation.
The good news is that the Story Chief team is pretty relentless and hands-on about all the feedback we receive.
As an SEO writer, I will admit that at first glance I thought the SC SEO tool was pretty basic but then I realized (like you) that the "look and feel" was much better.
Other WebTextTool users, including myself, have put the same content through both the SC SEO Tool and the WebTextTool and scored the same, so our tool is definitely reliable.
And the good news is, is that our dev team is dedicated to building it out further. We will be "robusting" all over the place and pretty excited about it.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience so far. Looking forward to carrying on the conversations!
