Stories inside a real mobile app — running live with the byStrate.com SDK.
byStrate.com runs entirely from the dashboard — no app release needed to update content.
Why stories, why now
Mobile teams are fighting for attention with blunt tools
Banners get ignored. Static banners compete for attention in a sea of content. Users have trained themselves to scroll past them.

Push notifications feel intrusive
Notifications interrupt the user. Stories are opt-in and contextual — the user is already in your app.
App releases are slow and irreversible
Waiting for app store review to communicate a promotion is too slow. byStrate.com updates are live in minutes.
Stories are familiar, visual, and high-converting
The format has a decade of proven engagement data behind it. Users already know how to interact. byStrate.com makes it yours in under an hour of engineering work.
