Buying for someone else?
Give them a question you have always wanted to ask, and a way to make their memories into a digital book. They talk or type, then check, edit and approve AI-assisted chapter drafts. $149 in one payment plus applicable tax, with no automatic renewal or payment from them. You buy in your account and share a private link; their year starts when they activate it in their own account. See the gift and how to give it. A printed book and shipping are not included.

Renewals and refunds
Monthly and yearly plans are charged in advance and renew automatically until you cancel in the Polar billing portal. Cancelling stops the next charge, and access continues until the end of the period you have paid for. The $499 option is charged once and does not renew. For any digital plan charge you may request a full refund within 14 days, provided no book export has been generated yet. The terms of service have the full details.
Printing
Printed-copy ordering is not available yet and is not part of these plans. The finished book downloads as a PDF or EPUB, which you can print at home or with a printer of your choice. If you are comparing services that include a hardcover, see Storyworth alternatives compared.
Questions about pricing
Is there a free trial?
Your first chapter is free and needs no card. There is no free trial of the subscriptions themselves: the monthly and yearly plans are charged when you choose them.
What is the difference between the plans?
Only how you pay. Monthly and yearly plans renew until you cancel; the one-time option is charged once. All three give the same guided writing access.
How do cancellation and refunds work?
Cancel at any time in the Polar billing portal; the next charge stops and access continues through the period you have paid for. You can ask for a full refund within 14 days of any charge as long as no book export has been generated.
Can I order a printed book?
Not yet. Printed-copy ordering is not available and is not included in these plans. You can download the finished book as a PDF or EPUB.
Can I set this up for a parent?
Yes, begin together in person or on a call. The plan belongs to the account that writes the book, so help your parent create their own account and start the free first chapter with them. Their writing stays private; they can choose to share a downloaded copy of the book.
Do you train AI models on my memories?
No. Your recordings and chapters are not used to train AI models, and you can export or delete everything at any time.
