Storyworth Price: Plans, Monthly Cost & Price History

Storyworth is a service that sends weekly questions to a family member, collects their written or recorded answers, and prints the stories as a hardcover book. It is often bought as a gift. Because the price covers both the year of questions and the printed book, the plan you pick mostly depends on whether you want a color book and how many copies you expect to order.

The prices on this page come from Storyworth, a help article that Storyworth updated on Oct 14, 2026. Storyworth runs promotions, especially around gift seasons, so the price you see at checkout may differ. Confirm it on Storyworth's site before you buy.

Storyworth Memoirs has three plans, listed below.

The Basic plan is $69. It includes one black and white book of up to 480 pages with a color cover, plus a year of weekly questions delivered by email or text, voice recorded stories, and family sharing.

The Color plan is $99. It includes one full color book of up to 300 pages, with an additional 180 pages available for a fee at the time of printing. It adds features such as a monthly family call and custom book projects.

The Unlimited plan is $199. It includes two full color books of up to 300 pages each, lets you invite as many storytellers as you like, and adds weekly guided phone interviews along with the features of the Color plan.

Additional copies are priced separately and can be ordered when you print.

A black and white copy up to 480 pages is $39 each. A color copy up to 300 pages is $79 each, and a color copy between 301 and 480 pages is $99 each. On the Unlimited plan, extra color credits are discounted to $69 each.

Storyworth also sells book credits ahead of time, and the credit price depends on your plan. Compare buying credits at the start with ordering copies later, since the price can differ by plan.

The Basic plan suits someone who is happy with a black and white interior, which keeps the price lowest. The Color plan makes sense if photos or a color layout matter. The Unlimited plan is aimed at families who want several storytellers or more than one color book. If several relatives want their own copy, add the cost of extra books before deciding, because the totals can pass the price of a higher plan.

Page count is the main variable. Longer books move into a higher extra book price, and extra pages on the Color plan carry a fee. Shipping and taxes are usually added at checkout, and they vary by address. If you expect a long book, ask what the final page limit and fees will be before ordering.

Decide how long the book should be and whether you want color pages. Ask whether the plan you are looking at includes the books you want, and whether extra pages, extra copies, or shipping will apply. Add those pieces together to compare plans fairly, rather than comparing only the plan prices.

Storyworth can be bought as a gift for someone else or for yourself. In both cases, the price is set by the plan, not by who receives it. If you buy it as a gift, check how the recipient redeems it and when the year of questions begins, since the timing affects how long they have to respond.
