Powerful but limited

The tool itself is powerful and has a nice wow factor. Everything the tool does could be accomplished with building a landing page, however their upside is the added analytics and pre-built templates. With that said, the current deal structure really hurts the potential of the deal:

Pros:

- Easy to design with drag and drop
- Some nice blocks and templates
- Has nice analytics and personalization
- Has the "wow" factor and ahead of its time for presenting case studies, proposals, etc

Cons:
- Anytime you make a change, it creates a new "version" with a unique link, making it impossible to quickly edit an existing storydoc that you already sent the link out on

- The current Tier limits hurt, as you need Tier 2 to remove their logo, which is too expensive for the simple feature but also hurts the "wow factor" when a logo is plastered all of your Tier 1

- It doesn't seem it's entirely white label, as the domain and branding is still plenty of places

- The team doesn't appear to have an easy way to upgrade from Tier 1 to Tier 2 without deleting and repurchasing, causing you to lose your previously created StoryDocs

- No ability to download the slides as a PDF in the event someone requests a PDF vs the link presentation

Conclusion: It's a nifty tool with a wow factor, but current limits and pricing really throttle it's value. If you want to wow users, Tier 2 would be the best option, but it's steep for the price if you're only trying to get the logo removed. It's great if you need the added team members.

Thanks a lot for the honest and open feedback!
That's truly appreciated and I hope the tool will be able to keep giving you value over time.

A couple of small things to points raised in case that's helpful:
1. There's no need to create a new link if you don't want to. You can always go back and edit existing links - simply click on the side menu of your template on "versions". Inside you'll see all of your versions, and you can just open and edit them in the editor. Give it a try!
2. If you need our help in migrating existing templates to another account let us know at "support@storydoc.com" - we would love to help

Enjoy and thanks again for your feedback!
