🌙 Frequently asked questions
Everything parents ask about Z Tales.
Yes. You can make up to 3 personalized bedtime stories every day for free, forever — no account and no credit card needed to try it. Paid Plus and Premium plans add illustrations on every page, narration, music, interactive stories, and printable keepsake books.
Every age — from newborns to big kids. You choose an age band (0–3, 4–5, 6–7, or 8+) and Z Tales adapts to match: short, soothing, rhythmic pages for babies and toddlers with little attention spans, richer stories for older children.
Your child is the named hero of the story. You enter their name, pick their age, choose a story world (like outer space, under the sea, dinosaur times, or an enchanted forest), and pick a lesson to weave in (kindness, sharing, courage, and more). Z Tales then writes a brand-new illustrated story starring your child in seconds.
Yes. Every story is gentle and calming, never scary, and always ends happily — they’re written specifically for the moments right before sleep. The lesson emerges naturally through the story rather than feeling preachy.
Yes. Every story can be shared with a simple link that anyone can open — grandparents, co-parents, friends — with no account required. The link shows the story’s title and first illustration when you text or post it.
Premium families can download any story as a print-ready PDF keepsake book — cover, dedication, and every illustration — to email to relatives, print for the bookshelf, or save as a memento.
On the Plus and Premium plans, yes. Narration reads the story aloud in a warm bedtime voice, and Premium adds gentle background music beneath the words — hands-free at bedtime.
A Premium feature where your child chooses the path at key moments (“should the fox take the mountain path or the river path?”). Both branches are written ahead of time so the page turns almost instantly when they decide.
Free is $0 forever (up to 3 stories a day). Plus is $9.99/month, or $5.99/month billed yearly. Premium is $19.99/month, or $11.99/month billed yearly, and includes a 7-day free trial.
Just a web browser. Z Tales works on phones, tablets, and computers, and can be added to your phone’s home screen like an app.
