Stea vs Storylane

They clone the product and add an AI SDR. We drive the real product instead of a clone.

What Storylane says it does

Storylane sells interactive demos, “pixel-perfect clones” of your product as sandbox demos, and RepX — an AI SDR that, in their words, “handles product questions, and books qualified meetings”. They claim ten minutes to a first demo.

Read on 1 October 2026 from their own site. Where they do not state a behaviour, the table below says so rather than scoring it against them.

What Storylane is good at

  • Speed: ten minutes to something publishable is faster than anyone can hand-write actions.
  • A hands-on sandbox a buyer can click around in unsupervised, which we do not offer.
  • Demos, a digital sales room and an AI SDR bought as one thing.

What is different about Stea

A clone is a copy of a moment

A pixel-perfect clone is still a copy: it was taken at a point in time, and it is accurate until you ship. We sign into a sandbox you control and drive the software that is running right now, so there is no second artefact to regenerate.

Closest to us, and the honest line is narrow

RepX answering product questions is the same job our agent does, so do not choose between us on “AI or not”. Choose on what the buyer is looking at while the answer is given: a clone, or the product. And on what you pay for — a subscription, or only the demos that answered someone.

Side by side

Storylane Stea
What the visitor sees A clone of your product, or a built demo Your actual software, driven live in a cloud browser
Fitted to the visitor Personalised at scale with AI, in their description Four questions first, then only the screens that answer them
An unscripted question RepX answers product questions and books meetings Answered, or flagged and passed to you — it does not guess
When your product changes The clone is regenerated The action stops and tells you, rather than clicking the wrong thing
What comes back Engagement tracking and deal intelligence Transcript, what was on screen, and what it could not answer
What you pay for A subscription, with a free tier Each demo that answered someone. Nothing for the ones that showed nothing

When Storylane is the better buy

If what you need is in the list above, buy that. We take a week to set up, charge a fixed fee to write the actions for your product, and then charge per demo that answered someone — which is a bad trade if you wanted something publishable this afternoon, and a good one if more people ask to see your product than your team has hours to show it.
