Updated May 18, 2026
The list includes 5 free alternatives, 29 freemium, 12 paid, and 3 with a free trial, so whether you're looking for a no-cost replacement or a more capable paid tier, there's an option to compare. We Made a Story itself is free, which makes free alternatives the most natural starting point.
Many of these tools cluster around use cases like Storytelling, Bedtime Stories, Personalization, and Personalized Content — the same problem spaces We Made a Story addresses. Cross-referencing tools that overlap on multiple topics gives a more reliable signal than category alone, because two products in the same category can still serve very different workflows.
Our ranking weighs eight signals: shared category, topic overlap, feature overlap, name and description text similarity (via PostgreSQL's pg_trgm and tsvector), Bayesian-smoothed user ratings, pricing-model match, popularity, and editorial overrides. Scores are then normalized within each tool's own candidate pool so the top match always represents the strongest available alternative.
