StoryChief is a content marketing platform that keeps strategy, briefs, drafts, approvals, publishing, and performance in one workflow. It publishes natively to 30+ channels, including WordPress, Webflow, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Mailchimp, and gives each brand, region, or client its own workspace with separate brand voice, channels, and team members. It first launched on AppSumo in 2018 and is back with a rebuilt, AI-focused product.
It pulls from Google Search Console and connected SEO tools such as Semrush and Ahrefs to recommend what to create or update, runs weekly content audits, and generates briefs and AI drafts based on your company knowledge and brand voice. The editor gives real-time SEO and GEO recommendations, comments, suggestions, and a plagiarism check before approval. Approved content can be repurposed into social posts and emails, shared internally through Broadcasts (email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams), and managed from ChatGPT or Claude through MCP. API access and social analytics are included on every tier; AI visibility tracking, which shows whether AI answers mention your brand, starts at Tier 3.
The AppSumo deal is a one-time purchase with 4 tiers, and limits apply per workspace. Tier 1 ($69) gives 1 workspace, 1 user, 25 articles per month, 6 social channels, 8,000 AI credits per month, and 5 Broadcasts. Tier 2 ($179) gives 2 workspaces, 5 users each, 50 articles, 8 social channels, 15,000 AI credits, and 10 Broadcasts. Tier 3 ($349) gives 7 workspaces, 7 users each, 75 articles, 10 social channels, 20,000 AI credits, and 10 AI visibility prompts per month. Tier 4 ($699) gives 15 workspaces, 15 users each, 100 articles, 15 social channels, 25,000 AI credits, and 10 AI visibility prompts. Social posts are unlimited on every tier. AI image and video generation is a separate paid add-on, and the deal is for new StoryChief customers, with an exception for 2018 lifetime license holders.
