Want the archive to keep growing? Living Archive ($7.99/mo or $79/yr, optional, cancel anytime) adds more storytellers, more years of new stories, and an extra book credit each year — canceling never locks the stories you've already kept.

Need another copy for a sibling or cousin? Additional hardcover copies are $49 each.

Fair questions, plain answers

Which tier should I pick?

Start with Keepsake — it already includes unlimited chat interviews, family collaboration, and a hardcover book credit. Add Keepsake + Voice if you'd also like live, real-time voice conversations with our AI interviewer.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit and debit cards, through Polar, our checkout provider. There's nothing to manage afterward — Keepsake and Keepsake + Voice are one-time purchases, not subscriptions.

Is there a free trial?

There's no credit-card trial to sign up for. Instead, you can try a couple of real turns of the actual AI interview for free, right from the homepage, before you ever pay.

Can I cancel anytime?

Keepsake and Keepsake + Voice are one-time purchases — there's no subscription to cancel, ever. If you later add the optional Living Archive, you can cancel it anytime, and canceling never locks the stories you've already kept.
