Try it free before you pay.
StoryKeeper is a good UK service that starts at £79 with a hardcover included. Tell Me Your Story lets you answer 5 questions free, then pay once from £3.99 — and only pay for printing if you want a book.
The short answer
Which one is right for your family?
Both are UK-based, one-time payments, and both put their voice in the book with QR codes. The difference is mostly how you start and what's included.
Choose StoryKeeper if…
- You want a hardcover and free UK delivery included in one price
- The storyteller would like to record video, or tell stories by phone (Plus plan)
- You want several relatives adding memories to one book (Plus plan)
Choose Tell Me Your Story if…
- You want to try it properly first — 5 questions free, no card
- You want the lowest-cost start: a digital keepsake from £3.99
- You'd rather pay for printing only if and when you want a book
- You also want a tribute video option
