Why pay per story, not per month? Because you write a story like this once — for a parent, a grandparent, a wedding, a goodbye. A subscription for that would be strange. Read the opening first, and pay only for the ones you want to keep.
Pricing questions
Is Fablely free?
Writing is. You can write a life story, tribute, or letter and read its opening, with its AI illustration, without an account or a card. You only pay if you want to keep the whole story: $9, one time.
What do I get for $9?
The complete story, start to finish; a print-ready keepsake PDF with its illustration; the ability to edit the words yourself or rewrite it with new memories; and a private link to share with family. It's a one-time payment for that story.
Is there a subscription?
No. Every payment is one time. If you're writing for several people, the family pack keeps 3 whole stories for $19. It needs a free account so your unused stories are saved, and they don't expire.
Do I need an account to buy?
Not for a single story. Read your opening, tap Unlock, and pay at a secure Stripe checkout. The 3-story family pack asks you to sign in to a free account first, so your extra stories have somewhere to wait.
Can I print it?
Yes. The keepsake PDF is print-ready, with a cover page and its illustration, so you can print it at home or at any print shop — for a service, a frame, or a family album.
What if I'm not happy with it?
You can edit the words as much as you like, or rewrite it with new memories (up to 25 AI rewrites per story). If you still aren't happy, there's a 14-day money-back guarantee — email hello@fablely.ai. A refunded story goes back to its free preview.
