Questions about EverTold

A gift for a parent or grandparent. A gentle interviewer talks with them out loud, one question at a time, and every answer becomes a written, narrated story. Each relative hears every story told from their own place in the family, and children get a story-time telling.

EverTold (one storyteller) is $99 and EverTold for Two (two storytellers sharing one family library) is $149, paid once. That is the holiday price. From January 1 the prices are $129 and $189. There is no subscription and nothing renews.

One payment, no renewals, for as long as EverTold operates: no subscription and no yearly charge. Listening never costs anything, for any number of relatives, and you can download everything at any time. Each storyteller gets 10 hours of conversation, which is more than most people use (two to three hours is typical). If they want to keep going, 5 more hours are $19.

Everything keeps working during the notice, and then there is a 90 day window to download everything before anything is deleted. If EverTold is ever sold, the new owner honors every lifetime purchase, or the closing terms above apply. Part of every purchase is set aside to keep stories online.
