Pricing questions
Is Fablely free?
Yes, to start. You can write up to 3 stories every month and publish shareable public pages for free — no account needed to try it. You only pay if you want more stories (credits) or a printed hardcover keepsake book.
What is a story credit?
One credit writes one story — a fresh generation or a rewrite. Your free plan includes 3 credits every month. Need more? Buy a pack that never expires: 10 credits for $9, 30 for $19, or 100 for $49.
Do I need a subscription?
No. There's no subscription. Free renews its 3 monthly credits automatically, and paid credit packs are one-time purchases that never expire. You only pay for what you want.
How much is the hardcover book?
The printed hardcover keepsake book starts at $59, printed and shipped to you — the one copy of a story that lasts forever, independent of any app or account. It's launching soon.
Is publishing a public story page free?
Yes, always — on every plan. Stories are private by default; you choose which ones to publish.
