No partial stories
If a story is unlocked, the whole learning flow is unlocked: text, questions, hints, vocabulary, and audio.
Audio stays simple
Free readers get audio on today's story. Pro unlocks audio across the archive.
The archive becomes the library
Pro is for learners who want more than today's topic: older stories, saved words, and review history.
Founder note
Lifetime is for early validation, not a hidden subscription trick.
Founding Lifetime includes current Pro and future standard Pro features. Expensive future customization, such as custom AI story generation, may use separate fair-use limits or credits.
