Storyworth pricing, plan by plan
Storyworth sells three annual plans. Each one includes a year of weekly questions and at least one printed hardcover. The price depends on whether you want the book in full color and how many storytellers and books you need.
Extra book credits cost $39 for black and white and $79 to $99 for full color. The Unlimited plan renews automatically at $99 a year until you cancel, so the real cost depends on how many years you keep it.
One subscription every year, or one book once
Storyworth is a subscription. You pay for a year, the storyteller answers one question a week, and a hardcover is printed at the end of that year. Keep the account open for a second storyteller or another book and you pay again the next year. The book is only made if the year is finished in time.
Yourtale is one payment of $199, with no renewal. An AI interviewer asks about a life across as many sessions as it takes, we draft each chapter from the recordings, and you edit the book yourself before it prints. You also keep the real voice recordings, not only the written answers.
