Why not a monthly subscription?
This is not a streaming service. A life story deserves one real commitment, not a small charge you would forget about. Pay once up front, then a small yearly fee keeps it all alive.
What happens if I cancel maintenance?
Nothing is ever deleted. Your plan returns to free: everything you have written stays readable, you can still download it all, and your public page stays up. But the deeper questions pause and new uploads follow the free limits. If you want Premium back later, you will start fresh with Year 1 onboarding ($149). The $49 rate is our thank-you for staying with us.
Do my stories disappear if I stop paying?
Never. Your stories are yours. Canceling only changes what you can add next. Everything you already saved stays saved, readable, and downloadable, forever.
What does the free plan include?
Everything you need to start: weekly questions from the free library, your public story page, and answers in words, photos, or voice. Premium adds the deeper questions and the full guided program.
Can I gift Cairyn to someone?
Yes. A gifted first year ($149) arrives as a personal email with a code they can use any time. It may be the most meaningful gift you ever give.
