StoryLoop does not charge per child.
Centre plans cover unlimited children. Enrol twenty more tamariki and the price does not move. Per educator they work out at about half the individual plan, and every story, child profile and family version lives in one place your whole team can use.
Your educators keep their drafts. A centre plan shows leadership who is writing and when, never what they wrote, unless that educator turns sharing on themselves. Buying the seats does not buy the diary.

Do upgrade prompts block history?+

Does StoryLoop replace educator thinking?+
No. StoryLoop supports drafting and structure, while educators remain responsible for observation, interpretation, reflection, final editing, and sign-off.
Can I edit the generated stories?+
Yes. Stories are editable after generation and saved in history, so educators can add context, adjust wording, copy, export, or regenerate from the original observation.
Does it create generic AI stories?+
StoryLoop is designed to avoid generic, poetic AI wording. It asks for real observations, keeps claims evidence-based, and links curriculum only when the observation supports it.
How many stories are free?+
The free plan includes 3 learning stories per month. Upgrade prompts are dismissible, and existing history remains available even if the free limit is reached.
