AI bedtime story apps do not share one price. SlumberTales, the parent-read subscription at slumbertales.app, costs $4.99 a month for 12 stories, $9.99 a month for 20 stories, or $14.99 a month for 30 stories per child — not unlimited.
Annual prices are Starter $39.99, Plus $79.99, and Premium $119.99. Those figures are the yearly totals, not a second monthly rate. Spread over 12 months that is $3.33, $6.67, and $10.00 a month — 33% less than paying monthly. A listening library, a narrated catalog, and a story a parent reads are different products, so this page does not average their prices and does not quote another company’s price or story allotment.
Your first personalized story is free — no card required. After that first story, start a 3-day trial to keep the nights going. Promotion codes FREE1 through FREE50 are 100% off the first month only. Each code is one-use. A code does not add stories and does not change the 12, 20, or 30 monthly allotment. Parents read the story aloud. Audio coming soon. For now, read the story together. Audio narration is off, so this is not an app a child presses play on.

What parents are actually paying for
Search results mix three shelves, and each shelf is priced on its own site. A listening library sells a catalog a child can start — sleep sounds, meditations, and finished audio stories. A narrated personalized app often puts the child’s name in a story and may play it aloud. A parent-read subscription, which is what SlumberTales is, sells a written tale for the adult in the room.
Those are not interchangeable units. A monthly fee for an open audio catalog is not the same purchase as a capped number of new pages. A single downloadable book is not the same purchase as a subscription. Quoting one “typical” price, or borrowing one app’s story count and pasting it onto another, would be a guess. This page states the SlumberTales numbers and leaves every other company’s price and allotment on that company’s site.
SlumberTales prices and the only story allotments
SlumberTales costs $4.99 a month for 12 stories, $9.99 a month for 20 stories, or $14.99 a month for 30 stories per child — not unlimited.
Annual prices are Starter $39.99, Plus $79.99, and Premium $119.99. Those figures are the yearly totals, not a second monthly rate. Spread over 12 months that is $3.33, $6.67, and $10.00 a month — 33% less than paying monthly.
Twelve, twenty, and thirty are the only monthly story allotments SlumberTales publishes. Starter is 12 stories for the month, for 1 child. Plus is 20 stories for the month, shared across up to 2 children — not 20 per child. Premium is 30 stories a month per child, for up to 5 children. Any other stories-per-month figure is not a SlumberTales plan.
Starter stories are short and medium, about 5–15 minutes to read aloud, for 1 child profile, with the Magic Library and a printable PDF. Starter does not include a toy companion, Series Mode, a keepsake compilation, or audio narration. Plus includes all lengths, about 5–45 minutes, a toy companion, Series Mode, and a keepsake volume after every 20 stories, for up to 2 child profiles. Plus does not include audio narration or seasonal exclusives. Premium includes all lengths, a toy companion, Series Mode, a keepsake volume after every 15 stories, seasonal and holiday stories, and priority generation, for up to 5 child profiles. Audio narration on Premium is listed as coming soon and stays off unless the service enables it.
The free story, the 3-day trial, and FREE1 through FREE50
Your first personalized story is free — no card required. The sample at https://slumbertales.app/sample is also free to read and does not need an account. After that one generated story, the next step is a trial of Starter, Plus, or Premium — not another silent free month.
Each plan includes a 3-day trial. Your card is not charged until the trial ends. Cancel during the trial and you are not charged. After the trial, the plan you chose bills monthly or annually at the price on this page. The trial does not raise the story allotment, and it does not turn the cap into an open faucet.
Promotion codes FREE1 through FREE50 are 100% off the first month only. Each code is one-use. A code does not add stories and does not change the 12, 20, or 30 monthly allotment.
The trial and the codes are different offers. A code named FREE1, FREE2, and so on through FREE50 takes 100% off the first month only, and that code is one-use. It does not discount later months, it does not change 12, 20, or 30, and it is not a permanent free plan. Enter a code at checkout if you have one. The same prices, caps, and code rules are also on https://slumbertales.app/pricing.
What the price does not buy
Parents read the story aloud. Audio coming soon. For now, read the story together. Audio narration is off, so this is not an app a child presses play on.
The price does not buy medical advice, sleep training, or a story the child operates alone. It does not buy an unlimited library. Cancel or change the plan from Settings → Manage billing. You do not need to email support for an ordinary cancel. If you cancel during the trial, you are not charged. For a full money-back refund after a charge, use Settings → Request full refund.

How many stories a month does SlumberTales include?

None of those allotments means unlimited. The first generated story is free, with no card. After that, the cap is the plan you choose.
What do promotion codes FREE1 through FREE50 do?
Promotion codes FREE1 through FREE50 are 100% off the first month only. Each code is one-use. A code does not add stories and does not change the 12, 20, or 30 monthly allotment. The 3-day trial is separate: cancel during the trial and you are not charged. A code is 100% off the first month only, and each code is one-use.
What does the 3-day trial charge?
After that first story, start a 3-day trial to keep the nights going. Your card is not charged until the trial ends. If you cancel during the trial, you are not charged. After the trial, Starter, Plus, or Premium bills at the monthly or annual price on this page, inside the story allotment for that plan.
Is audio narration included in the price?
No. Audio coming soon. For now, read the story together. The prices above buy written stories a parent reads, plus the features named on each plan. They do not buy an AI voice that is switched on today.
