Sophia Institute Press is a Catholic publisher dedicated to evangelization through books and media, distributing over a million titles each year. They sought to create something new in the Catholic publishing space. While most publishers’ apps allow users to purchase individual titles, Sophia Press wanted to give listeners full access to their audiobook catalog for a small monthly fee, making their entire library more accessible than ever before. When their existing platform couldn’t support this innovative idea, they turned to Annunciate, a SaaS platform created by 5 Stones, to craft the experience they—and their customers—deserved.
When Sophia Institute Press approached us with a bold new vision for audiobook delivery, we were excited to make it a reality. Compared to their previous platform, Annunciate offered better default features, easier admin tools, smarter customization, and a pricing model that made sense. Even with a different platform build underway, Sophia made the switch to Annunciate because it was the best fit for their mission, their audience, and their bottom line.
Our team worked with Sophia Press to get their Saintifi app ready to launch. Thanks to the stability and turnkey flexibility of Annunciate’s technology, we were able to move quickly and ensure a seamless transition. Sophia Press had a bold, creative vision, and they found in the 5 Stones team a partner who could bring that vision to life through our Annunciate SaaS platform. We love collaborating with teams who think differently about their mission, and we’re excited to see this unique audiobook app out in the marketplace.
