How much do AI bedtime story apps cost?

By SlumberTales Editorial Desk · Updated September 26, 2026 · For parents and guardians

AI bedtime story apps do not share one price. SlumberTales, the parent-read subscription at slumbertales.app, costs $9.99 a month for 12 stories, $14.99 a month for 20 stories, or $19.99 a month for 30 stories per child, not unlimited.

Annual prices are Starter $99.90, Plus $149.90, and Premium $199.90. Those figures are the yearly totals, not a second monthly rate. Spread over 12 months that is $8.33, $12.49, and $16.66 a month, which is two months free compared with 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. Cancel anytime. After that first story, start a plan: $4.99 for your first month, then your plan's regular monthly price. Starter and Plus get read by a parent; Premium has narration too. Every plan gets the written story.

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 $9.99 a month for 12 stories, $14.99 a month for 20 stories, or $19.99 a month for 30 stories per child, not unlimited.

Annual prices are Starter $99.90, Plus $149.90, and Premium $199.90. Those figures are the yearly totals, not a second monthly rate. Spread over 12 months that is $8.33, $12.49, and $16.66 a month, which is two months free compared with 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, 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, 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. Premium includes all lengths, a toy companion, Series Mode, a keepsake volume after every 15 stories, and priority generation, for up to 5 child profiles. Premium also includes audio narration.

The free story and the $4.99 first month

Your first personalized story is free. Cancel anytime. 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 Starter, Plus, or Premium, $4.99 for the first month on monthly billing, not another silent free month.

Each monthly plan starts at $4.99 for the first month. After the first month, the plan you chose bills monthly or annually at the price on this page. The first-month price does not raise the story allotment, and it does not turn the cap into an open faucet.

What the price does not buy

Starter and Plus get read by a parent; Premium has narration too. Every plan gets the written story.

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. For a full money-back refund after a charge, use Settings → Request full refund.
