No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Did they ever think someone wants to collate all their media somewhere and publish it in different ways? So, you have to migrate your existing WP posts — and once you have done that, their migrate plugin doesn’t work to migrate more! Dear Lord…. you just completely alienate anyone who wants to use this plugin in another way.

    I don’t get to write enough blog posts and articles, but when I do find the time, StoryChief is a great tool to get it done. The clear sequence to follow, the distraction-free writing, prompts to provide all the ‘stuff’ that surrounds an article eg. SEO, links into social media and also direct embed into the website… all make it a breeze. Highly recommended.

    The platform is very user-friendly, and the support is excellent. It makes publishing enjoyable. For both: creator and the end-user. I have never had a chance to post so many different articles on so many destinations (social platforms, WP, emails). Extremely useful and practical.

    This plugin, as well as the product and team behind it, is very impressive. It really helps get your writing out there, while keeping the “master copy” original on your blog. Also the support is really helpful, fast, and friendly. Great plugin for a great product.
