A simple Academic price for lecturers and course leaders
If you’re running a course with Stornaway.io, we’re introducing a special academic offer to let you upgrade your students’ free accounts so that they can collaborate with each other and share some publishing data bandwidth for $499 for the year.
And we can offer an ignition and onboarding session for the class – See more details here.
Enterprise and Custom Projects
Do you need licensing, hosting, customisation or advice for a specific project or enterprise?
Stornaway.io’s team have rare insight into the narrative possibilities, creative workflows and technical integrations of this emerging format – we offer consultancy and workshops.
As a universal interactive editing platform, we’re working towards integrations with VOD platforms. If you’re a producer looking to publish to a 3rd party platform, contact us for more details.
FAQs about Plans and Publishing
If I publish a project, do I have to keep subscribing to keep it online?
When you sign up, you get a full year’s bandwidth allowance as shown above. If you’re on a monthly payment plan, you get the allowance for as long as you keep your plan active. If you want to pause your plan between projects and keep a project public, contact us.
What's the difference between publishing to Stornaway.io and to YouTube?
Our YouTube publisher lets you export your Stornaway.io projects to YouTube.
The interactivity in YouTube is much simpler and not as fully featured or nicely designed as Stornaway.io’s bespoke player but YouTube’s hosting is ad-funded and so free. It also enables your content to reach the much wider YouTube audience.
Publishing to YouTube does not use your Stornaway.io bandwidth allowance.
Can you explain Publishing Data (bandwidth)? How much do I need?
‘Bandwidth’ can mean different things in different contexts. In this case, it concerns video which is delivered over the internet as data. The amount of public data transferred is called bandwidth, and that we are charged for by our internet suppliers. Using more bandwidth is a good thing, as it means that you have more viewers watching your story.
Stornaway.io not only provide the best interactive storytelling tools, we also provide our beautiful interactive player and hosting and streaming of your video at the highest quality available to your viewers, without showing ads over your story.
A short interactive story like this one by DUNE Productions for the Landes School of Design for example, could be played many thousands of times within the 1TB Publishing Data allowance of a Pro account. As we all know from our own YouTube browsing, not everybody who starts a video watches the whole thing, so we don’t just measure a simple total number of people who viewed briefly – bandwidth measures what’s actually watched.
Most Stornaway.io creators never hit their data limits. If you’re in the lucky top percent who do, we’ll be in touch in plenty of time. If you know you’re presenting to a really big audience, get in touch – we have different options to suit you.
How do I pause my subscription?
We know that production starts and stops. Get in touch and we can pause your account until you’re ready to get going again.
How do I compare Stornaway with other tools?
Interactive video is more than just video with a button on it – it’s a new way of thinking about video, by joining up multiple clips into a viewer journey. From feature films and immersive theatre to demos and tours, from recruitment and training to challenges and behaviour change campaigns – the uses of interactive media stories are exploding (seemingly by the day!).
We built Stornaway.io as an interactive filmmaking platform, and it’s grown to be a creative-focused production tool for all kinds of interactive video stories and journeys in every sector. We’re proud to be a part of a rich ecosystem of tools.
Each platform has a slightly different offering. So for 2023, we’ve took a dive into 23 top options – along with information on their key features, who they’re best for and (where possible) pricing – and compiled our findings here for you.
