Three ways to keep a life story. Every Storyworth and Remento fact below comes from that company’s own website, checked on September 26, 2026.
| Quiddity | Storyworth | Remento | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How the story is told | Out loud, in a conversation with an AI Biographer that asks one question at a time and follows where you lead. | Weekly questions by text or email. Answers are written by email or on the website, or recorded over the phone. | A prompt each week by text or email. The storyteller records an answer, up to 30 minutes each. |
| Follow-up questions | The Biographer asks follow-up questions during the conversation. | Magic Interviews ask follow-up questions over a phone call. Not every voice feature is on every plan. | Not found on its website |
| What happens to the words | Kept verbatim: every word exactly as spoken, filler words included. Never rewritten, summarized, or polished. | Story Calls are transcribed exactly as told. Magic Interviews turn the conversation into a written story. Family Calls add a cleaned-up transcript. | Your choice: a word-for-word transcript with filler words like “um” and “uh” removed, or a written narrative. |
| The original recording | Every story keeps its own recording, so the people you share with hear your actual voice. | Not found on its website | QR codes in the book link to the original recordings, and audio files can be downloaded at any time. |
| What you keep | A voice archive: each story’s recording and word-for-word transcript, plus a PDF of the whole archive, free to download at any time. | A hardcover book. At least one is included with every plan. | A hardcover, full-color book (one included, up to 200 pages) and a private digital archive. |
| Asking questions of the stories | An Avatar answers questions using only the person’s recorded words. The Avatar is included with the Full Legacy pack. Any other archive can add it with a one-time Avatar Activation. | Not found on its website | Not found on its website |
| Who can see the stories | You choose for each story: only you, your family, one specific person, or everyone. | Stories are private and can be downloaded for free at any time. | Private by default; only the people you trust have access. |
| Pricing | A free 5-minute warmup, then one-time packs from $149.99 USD. Nothing renews, and session credits never expire. | Plans at $69, $99 and $199 USD, each with a year of weekly questions. Basic and Color plans can be renewed for another year; Unlimited renews automatically unless cancelled. | $99 USD for the first year, including one book. After that, optional renewal at $99 a year or $12 a month; automatic renewal can be turned off. |
| What you need | A web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. Nothing to install. | Any device, even a landline. No passwords. | Any device. No apps, downloads, or logins. |
