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.
