An honest comparison
Their words are worth reading. Their voice is worth keeping.
Storyworth is a thoughtful gift and we admire it. Here is an honest look at how the two compare, and what doing it yourself really takes.
| The Time Capsule Kit | Storyworth | Do it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you keep | A film: their voice, face, laugh, and gestures | A hardcover book of their written answers | Phone clips scattered across devices |
| Effort for the subject | One Recording Day, led by the conversation guide | Writing or dictating weekly for a year | Depends entirely on you |
| Time to finished keepsake | A few weeks after you upload | About a year of weekly prompts | Often never finished |
| Editing | Professional editors craft the film | You review and compile the chapters | You, if you know the software |
| How it is kept | A permanent story page with a keepsake QR placard | A printed book on the shelf | A camera roll and good intentions |
The honest answer: if your family loves to write, Storyworth is lovely. If you want to hear their voice again someday, that is what we are for.
