The written, self-serve alternative to Testimonial Hero
Testimonial Hero is a done-for-you agency: it films and edits customer testimonial videos, and since acquiring Case Study Buddy in 2024 it sells written case studies too — at agency prices and multi-week timelines. StoryVoice is the software path. Your customer talks to a voice AI for 5 minutes, and you get a publish-ready case study plus the assets to promote it, from $49/month.

Common questions
What is Testimonial Hero?
Testimonial Hero is a done-for-you customer-story agency. Its core service is professionally filmed and edited video testimonials, remote or on-site, and after acquiring Case Study Buddy in March 2024 it also sells written case studies. Both run on the agency model: scheduled sessions, production teams, per-project pricing, and timelines measured in weeks.
How is StoryVoice different from Testimonial Hero?
Testimonial Hero produces stories for you, at agency cost. StoryVoice is software that does the job in minutes: your customer talks to a voice AI for 5 minutes on their own schedule, and the publish-ready case study — structured narrative, computed metrics, real pull quotes — is written immediately, along with a LinkedIn post, an X post, a pull quote, and a sales email. Plans start at $49/month; agency projects start in the thousands.
Can StoryVoice produce testimonials too?
Yes. Every interview yields a pull quote in the customer's own words that works as a standalone testimonial for your website, proposals, or ads — alongside the full case study, all from a single 5-minute conversation.
Can StoryVoice produce video like Testimonial Hero?
No — StoryVoice is deliberately the written option. Written case studies are indexable by Google and AI assistants, skimmable in ten seconds, and quotable in sales emails, which video clips cannot do. Teams that need both often pair one agency video for the homepage with StoryVoice for the written library behind it.
