Genially vs Scrollytelling.ai: what each one is
Genially is a Spanish platform for interactive presentations, infographics, quizzes and e-learning content, with a huge template library and a strong following among teachers; around 80% of its users are in education. It is cheap, generous on the free tier and good at what it does.
Scrollytelling.ai is for a different artefact: a scroll-driven web page with a video hero, pinned sections and reveals, the thing a landing page, a report or a feature story wants to be. The AI builds it from a brief, a URL or a PDF, and paid plans start at $10 a month with a custom domain.

What Genially does better
Genially is better for presentations, infographics and classroom content. The template library is enormous, the interactions (quizzes, hotspots, branching) are richer than anything a scroll builder offers, and the education plans are priced for teachers. It is better value if you need a lot of small interactive pieces rather than a few immersive pages, and its free plan is one of the best in the category.
Where Genially falls short, and who should look elsewhere
Genially makes slides and canvases, not scroll-driven stories. There is no scroll-scrubbed video, no pinned narrative sections, no hero that plays as the reader moves. Branding stays on the free and Pro plans; a custom domain is not what the product is for. If the goal is an Apple-style scroll page, the cheapest Genially plan is still the wrong tool.
If you are coming from Genially
Keep Genially for the quiz, move the story. Build the scroll-driven page here and embed a Genially piece where interactivity of that kind helps.
Branding off at $10. Starter removes the badge and adds a custom domain, two things Genially reserves for Master at €20.
What you lose: the presentation and e-learning formats, SCORM export and the template volume.
Verdict
Choose Genially if you make presentations, infographics, quizzes or e-learning, especially in education, and want the biggest free plan in the category.
Choose Scrollytelling.ai if you want a scroll-driven web story with a video hero, built by AI, without branding, on your own domain, from $10 a month.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Genially cost?
Free €0; Pro €6 a month billed yearly (Pro is the only plan billed monthly); Master €20 and Author €40 per member a month; Enterprise on request (checked October 17, 2026). In US dollars Genially quotes Pro from $10 a month billed yearly.
Is Genially free?
Yes: unlimited creations, all interactions, 1,000+ templates and 500 AI credits a year, with Genially branding. Branding is also kept on Pro; it comes off at Master.
Does Genially do scrollytelling?
Not in the scroll-driven sense. Genially content is slide- and canvas-based with click and hover interactions; for a page that animates as the reader scrolls, use a scrollytelling builder.
Which is cheaper without branding: Genially or Scrollytelling.ai?
Scrollytelling.ai Starter at $10 a month billed yearly removes the badge and includes a custom domain; Genially removes branding at Master, €20 a month per member.
Can I embed Genially in a Scrollytelling.ai story?
Yes, with the embed widget, which is the sensible way to combine a quiz or an interactive diagram with a scroll-driven narrative.
Which is better for a school project?
Genially for a presentation or an infographic; Scrollytelling.ai for a web story with a video hero, such as a history feature or a science explainer. Both cost nothing to try, though publishing on Scrollytelling.ai starts on Starter.
