A better alternative to Tolstoy

Tolstoy ans Storista are similar tools, but thing you need to consider is the pricing model. Tolstoy charges a monthly subscription fee and an additional fees for extra widgets impressions. Even without visitor clicks on video. Storista charges only a monthly subscription fee. Simple pricing is good if you want predictable expenses at any time of the year.


We are also honored to have "Built for Shopify" status. This is the highest level of recognition and achievement that an app can reach in Shopify. Tolstoy doesn't have it.

For brands looking to implement effective shoppable video techniques, Storista stands out with its ease of use and intuitive interface, making it simpler for businesses to create engaging, high-converting content. This makes Storista a great option for smaller businesses or those who prioritize affordability without sacrificing quality.

Great app for displaying UGC widgets on the website. Lots of control as to what exactly and where you want to display UGC content.

This app is a game changer. Being able to showcase our products in videos in such an easy way is a great feature and I totally recommend it. The app itself is very easy to use. And being able to tag the products on the video, so that they become shoppable is great.

I started my business as an Instagram shop so I rely on stories heavily to sell my products. After trying several apps on for Insta integrations I am now rooting for this app to become the best on Shopify!
