FAQ

Pricing questions

Yes — the Free tier gives you 5 stories per month, all story genres, all illustration styles, and adventure mode. No credit card required. You can create stories and see exactly what the app does before deciding to upgrade.

Token packs are pay-as-you-go: buy tokens once, use them whenever. They're a good fit if you read stories occasionally or want to try the paid experience without a recurring charge. The Creator plan is unlimited stories for a flat monthly or annual fee — much better value if you read stories regularly. Creator also unlocks chapter books, colouring book mode, community access, and KDP publishing, which token packs don't include.

No. Token packs never expire. Once purchased, your tokens are available in your account indefinitely.

Yes. Every plan can share stories to the Community (each is moderated first), and every plan is rewarded for it. Free and Token users earn 1 free story generation for every 2 stories shared — up to 2 a month, 10 over the life of the account.

Creator and Publisher users earn 1 bonus KDP export for every 10 stories shared — up to 2 a month. The reward is granted the first time each story goes live after passing moderation.

Character add-on packs are permanent purchases attached to your account, not your subscription. If you cancel your Creator subscription, the extra character slots remain — they'll be available immediately when you resubscribe. While on the Free tier, your characters are safely stored but you won't be able to create new ones beyond the Free tier's 2-character limit.

Yes — the annual plan ($89.99 CAD) is charged as a single payment at the start of each billing year. It saves you roughly 25% compared to the monthly plan. You can switch between monthly and annual billing at any time from your account settings.

Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. We don't offer pro-rated refunds on unused subscription time, but you'll retain access until the end of the billing period. Token pack purchases are non-refundable once tokens have been used. If you have an issue with a purchase, contact us at support@inkstak.ai and we'll do our best to help.
