How much does DearlyStory cost?
The app is free, and so are creating a voice, writing a story, listening again and changing the speed. Narration and painting use story coins: narrating a story costs 10, a picture book 140 to 280, a comic 360 to 900, and every button shows its cost before you tap. A new account gets 150 coins, enough for a 6-page picture book read aloud. After that, buy packs that never expire or a monthly plan of 210 or 500 coins.
