Storydoc

The trial is for building and sharing, not for taking files away. The billing article says the trial includes limited features, collects no payment details and does not convert into a charge on its own. Removing the Storydoc logo from the engagement bar is a paid feature from Starter, per the branding article, although the comparison table marks badge removal from Pro. PDF export is listed for paid plans.

What survives the trial is the link. According to the trial-end article, shared stories stay live and viewable after the trial expires, but you can no longer edit, duplicate or create stories until you subscribe. The same applies after cancelling a paid plan.

Only as a PDF. The PowerPoint article states that direct PPTX export is not supported; opening an exported PDF in PowerPoint gives static slides with no editable content. If the recipient needs a PowerPoint file to edit, Gamma lists PPTX export even on its free plan.

The PDF export offers multi-slide, one-page and A4 or Letter layouts, a slide selector, a high-quality option and a switch to remove the tracking QR code from the last page. Animations and embedded videos do not carry over. For a room with poor internet, the offline article suggests opening every slide while connected so the browser caches it; YouTube or Vimeo embeds still need a connection.

Storydoc separates the master from the copies. The stories and versions article describes a story as the template, with variables such as {{company_name}} or {{date}}, and a version as a copy with those fields filled in for one recipient and its own URL. The live stories article counts only shared stories toward the active-document limit, so drafts and archived stories are free.

The comparison table adds tighter caps on Starter: no text or custom variables, 10 links and versions, 3 live deck templates, 20 slides per template and 2 workspace folders. Pro adds variables, lifts links, templates and slides to unlimited and allows 10 folders, but bulk version creation is marked limited until Team.

Generating a whole deck with the AI assistant and redesigning slide layouts are marked unlimited on every plan. Credits apply to smaller edits: the AI tokens article lists translation, spelling and grammar fixes, expanding, shortening and changing the tone of text. It gives 25 tokens a month on Starter, 200 on Pro and unlimited on Team, resetting each billing month. The pricing page lists 125 AI text credits for Pro and adds separate image credits: 20 a month on Starter and 50 on Pro.

The analytics guide reports unique readers, total sessions, the share of engaged readers and average reading time, plus a funnel from opened to started scrolling to completed. Readers are counted by an anonymous browser ID, so the same person on a phone and a laptop counts twice. The hosting article adds that stories are blocked from search engine indexing by default. Identified access, which asks readers for a name or email before viewing, is a Team feature in the comparison table.

1. Start the 14-day trial and create a story with AI from a one-page product brief with five specific figures.
2. Compare every figure on the generated slides with the brief.
3. Share the story and open the link in a private window on a laptop and on a phone.
4. Scroll to the end on one device and leave after the first slide on the other.
5. Check that analytics show two unique readers, one completed and one opened only, and note whether PDF export is offered.

Accept if all five figures match and the funnel records the two visits differently. Reject if slides add numbers the brief does not contain. No result is recorded here.
