Rise vs Storyline

Aug 24, 2023

As a longtime Storyline user (2, 3, 360), I was wondering if Storyline and Rise are more or less competitors for the same type of use/application, while simply targeting a different type of developor/user for creating the content/courses? 

Or do these applications have completely different output types and practical uses when deployed?

Thanks!

Probably many (most?) courses could be developed in either platform and still be useful and engaging. (And, let's face it, there are probably numerous courses in both platforms that the world could do without...) 

As a longtime Storyline user (1, 2, 3, 360), I like the level of control it gives me. It also provides more options for tracking completion. 

However, I also understand the need for simple, quick development. And for responsiveness to playing on different devices. Those, to me, are the main benefits of Rise. 

The final choice of which to use has to consider those variables, along with the needs of the intended audience, the functionality of the LMS/LRS platform, and, oh yes, the budget.
