Start free. Pay once when you are sure.

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.

Choose Family Package

Where the real price comes from.

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.

Add-on · Text Capture

Text it in, and skip the app entirely.

The one part of Storygarden that is a subscription, and the reason is honest: every message it receives is billed per message, forever. It works with any tier including Free, and it is not included in Standard or the Family Package.

Coming soon Text Capture

A number you can text a photo or a sentence to, from any phone. What it costs depends on the tier you add it to.

Free One child, one phone: $5.99a month
Standard Three children, and a second parent: $7.99a month
Family Package Any number of children, and the family: $9.99a month

It goes up rather than down because the running cost does. Free is one child and one person texting; the Family Package is any number of children and everybody you have invited, and every one of their messages is paid for on arrival.

A number you can text a memory to, from any phone
A review inbox for anything the app is unsure about
Works with no app open, and on a phone with none installed

Not on sale yet. These are the prices it will launch at, not prices you can pay today — there is no checkout for it here and nothing to buy in the app either. When it arrives it will renew automatically until cancelled.

What each one holds.

The child limit is enforced by the database, not by a screen — so it is the same number wherever you are signed in.

Free, and genuinely free.

Have a look first

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.

Being invited costs nothing

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.

If billing goes wrong

A payment problem never destroys your memories.

This is a principle in the product specification rather than a customer service policy, and it is enforced in the code.

Nothing is deleted. Not memories, children, media, calendar events, shares, or comments.
Everything stays readable. A refund drops you back to the free tier; it does not lock you out of what you already saved.
Cards get retried, not cut off. A failed Text Capture payment enters a grace period rather than an immediate stop.
You are never asked to pay twice. If a purchase has gone through, the app unlocks straight away, even if the confirmation is slow to arrive.

Managing a subscription

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.

Start with the free tier.

One child, as much writing as you like, and no card. Decide about the rest later.
