A free start, with no surprises.
What is a story credit?
Credits are used only when creating a new book: 2 for a Quick Read, 3 for a Regular Adventure, or 4 for a Chapter Adventure. Mix book lengths however you like. Rereading your completed books costs no credits.
Will I be charged when my trial ends?
Your trial never turns into a paid subscription automatically. When the free credits run out or after 30 days, choose a Family subscription to create more. Your completed books stay readable while your account stays open. One-time extra-credit packs require an active Family or Family Plus subscription.
How much does it cost after the free books?
Family is $9.99 per month and Family Plus is $18.99 per month. You choose whether to subscribe; your free trial never starts a paid plan automatically.
Are these printed books?
These are digital storybooks to enjoy in your browser. Printed books and shipping are not included.
Do we need an iPad?
No. Use your browser on a tablet, phone, or computer. You can also add Tale Lantern to your home screen. Set up an iPad or Android tablet.
