The short answer
Verdict
Pick Guideflow if the entry price decides it — Solo at $35 a month annual is the cheapest seat in the category — or if you demo a mobile app. Pick Storylane for format breadth (screenshot, video, HTML from one editor), lead forms and personalization at a lower absolute tier ($500/mo Growth vs Guideflow's $499/mo Growth with fewer seats included the other way), and a much deeper integration list. Both gate their best features to a mid tier; the difference is what the cheap tier leaves out.

Disclosure
Where Tellane fits — and where it doesn't
Both gate the marketing features — branching, lead forms, personalization — behind a ~$500/mo tier. Tellane's angle is putting exactly those on a $39 seat with a per-stop funnel, at the cost of HTML capture and video, which it does not do.
