Remento and Storyworth turn stories into a printed book — one storyteller's, or a group's. Tribute helps people record messages for someone. Preserve helps you show someone what they mean to you.

Start with a few moments that matter. Add the words, photos, videos, and voice that bring them to life.

Prices for other products are the lowest starting prices each company publishes on its own website. Preserve is free to create and $19.99 once, when you publish. Birthday card prices are a typical U.S. retail range for a single standard-to-premium card.

Competitor pricing and features checked September 2026 and may change.

Frequently asked questions

When do I pay?

You can create, edit, and preview for free. You pay the one-time $19.99 only when you're ready to publish and share it.

Can I include memories from other people?

Yes. You can gather photos, recordings, quotes, or memories from family and friends and add them yourself.

Who can view my Preserve?

Only the people you choose. Every Preserve is private by default and shared through a secure link.

How much does a Preserve cost?

Free to create. $19.99 to publish. One-time payment for the finished, shareable Preserve. No subscription.

What if I'm creating this as a surprise?

That's exactly what Preserve was designed for. You can build everything behind the scenes and give it to them when the moment is right.

Why not just make a photo album?

Because the moments that shape a life are more than photographs. Preserve brings together the stories, voices, reflections, and memories behind those moments, creating something future generations can experience—not just look through.

Personal support

Building your first Preserve? I'll personally help if you get stuck.

Email hello@thisispreserve.com and you'll hear directly from the founder.

What happens to what you're given

Photos. Voice notes. The things people don't say out loud until you ask.

Everything you upload to a Preserve is private by default — visible only to you and the people you choose to send it to, never public, never searchable. When you publish, you get a single private link. You decide who receives it, and that never changes without you.

We intend to host your Preserve for the long term. When you share a finished Preserve, you can turn on downloads so the people you choose can save the photos, videos, and voice recordings for themselves. If you're not happy with what you've made, contact us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked.

This is someone's voice. Someone's memory of them. We built Preserve to hold that carefully — not to mine it, not to sell it, not to lose it.

Pay once. It's yours to keep.

No subscriptions. No recurring fees. Hosting included with every published Preserve.
