Our verdict on Stornaway
Stornaway is a web-based no-code authoring and hosting platform for interactive video. It is designed for creators, agencies, learning teams, and enterprise organizations building branching stories, guided learning content, immersive 360-degree experiences, and personalized viewer journeys. Its Story Map flowchart editor helps teams structure pathways, while interactive buttons, overlays, invisible hotspots, quizzes, game logic, scoring, variables, and free-text fields support more involved experiences than linear video publishing.
The platform’s strongest area is feature depth for interactive storytelling and learning. Projects can be playtested with placeholder media, then published through Stornaway’s player, embedded on websites and LMS platforms, or exported as SCORM packages. Analytics cover choices, pathways, watch time, and completion. Integrations include Google Analytics, xAPI, LMS and LRS platforms, CRM systems, YouTube, WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Adobe Experience Manager, Contentful, Sanity.io, and Segment. API-based viewer-data tracking and self-hosted deployment also support more tailored technical setups.
Stornaway uses a freemium model with a free plan and self-serve plans presented as starting prices billed annually. The Editing plan includes the Story Map editor, full editing tools, game logic and scoring, plus 360 video and image buttons. Hosting adds publishing, embedding, analytics, collaboration, and private sharing. Premium adds removal of Stornaway branding, player color customization, advanced analytics, and SCORM integration. Enterprise & Corporate adds custom licensing, custom deployment, compliance and procurement support, and optional creative support. Choose Stornaway when branching logic, immersive media, and learning delivery matter together; a simpler linear-video workflow may be a better fit for teams that do not need these capabilities.
