What exactly is the difference between these two packages? I have Studio, but I feel like most of the emails I get are relevant to Storyline but still work for me. Can someone help?
Great question, Angela. Articulate Studio is a great choice for helping you quickly & easily turn PowerPoint presentations into an online or mobile course. It has features which allow you to add media and interactions and build assessments in a matter of minutes. And since Studio is based on PowerPoint it's super easy to learn.
Articulate Storyline is very intuitive to use (it's interface is very similar to PowerPoint) but it's incredibly powerful. With Storyline you have a broader set of features to help you create almost any kind of interaction you can imagine.
The big distinguishing characteristic for me is that Storyline is both simple to learn and use AND powerful, so it really grows with you as a designer.
So if I wanted to get storyline after using articulate for the past year, would I have to pay full price for storyline, or is there an Add-on pricing for that?
Also, thank you for both of your responses. I love these products. I just feel like storyline would help me create what I want a little better than studio is doing. But I don't know if my company will spring for the whole cost. I just wanted to see about purchasing the additional features. Does that make sense?
That definitely makes sense, Angela. I think Storyline does scale better in the long run, but if you need help making the case for purchasing Storyline, you might want to give this recent article a quick read. It's got some great tips & pointers.

There isn't a way to only purchase certain features though.
