Pricing FAQ

Six questions before you start.

Do I need a credit card to start?: No. The Free tier is genuinely free — one classroom, up to 30 students, no card required. Teacher Plan and School/District plans take a credit card or invoice respectively when you upgrade.
What can I actually do on the Free tier?: Read the full decodable library, run mini-games, narrate and record. You don't get phonics-aligned assignments, personalized journeys, Literacy Analytics, or AI credits for on-demand book generation. The Free tier is what teachers use to evaluate whether the platform fits their classroom before upgrading.
What are AI credits?: Credits power on-demand decodable generation, personalized stories, music videos, and custom songs. Each Teacher Plan year ships with 500 credits, enough for roughly 100 custom decodables. School and district plans get a custom credit pool sized to enrollment.
Can I upgrade from a single classroom to a full school?: Yes. The platform handles the upgrade in place — your students, your journeys, your data all carry forward. School + district pricing is meaningfully discounted vs per-teacher pricing.
Does Storytime work with the literacy program my school already uses?: Yes. Storytime aligns to the scope and sequence of the supported curricula — UFLI Foundations, Wilson Fundations, Amplify CKLA, IMSE Orton-Gillingham, LMW, and Storytime AI's own scope. The platform fits the program your school chose, not the other way around.
What happens to my data if I cancel?: Teacher Plan: account stays read-only; you keep access to your classroom history. District: contract-defined, typically a 60-day export window before deletion. Free tier: no expiration. NDPA-friendly data handling end to end.
