No monthly bill for the app itself. Storygarden is a one-time purchase, and the free tier is a real one — a child, a timeline, and as much writing as you like.
No card needed
See what it is, with one child, before you decide anything.
Photos, video and voice notes need Standard — storage costs money for as long as a file exists.

Everything most families need, bought once.

Whatever a plan costs where you live, in your currency, is shown by the App Store, Google Play, or the card checkout at the moment you buy. That figure is the one that counts. Anything printed on this page is a guide.
The one part of Storygarden that is a subscription, and the reason is honest: every message it receives costs money to receive. It is not included in Standard or the Family Package, and it works with any of them — including Free.
$5.99 per month
$64.69 a year — 10% off paying monthly.
Text a photo or a sentence to Storygarden and it becomes a memory.
A subscription. Renews automatically until cancelled, and you can cancel any time.
The child limit is enforced by the database, not by a screen — so it is the same number wherever you are signed in.

The sample timeline needs no account at all. Creating one is free, and so is keeping a child's timeline in writing for as long as you like.
If somebody shares a timeline with you, you can view it, and comment and react where they have allowed it, without buying anything. Ever. The person who shared it is the one who paid.
This is a principle in the product specification rather than a customer service policy, and it is enforced in the code.
Text Capture bought on an iPhone is managed in your Apple account, and on Android in your Google account — Storygarden cannot cancel those on your behalf, and any page that claimed otherwise would be lying. One bought by card on the web is managed here.
Standard and the Family Package are bought once, so there is nothing to cancel. Ask us if any of it is unclear.
One child, as much writing as you like, and no card. Decide about the rest later.
