Membership is for steady story capture, not pressure.
Active Capture pays for ongoing interviews, revision passes, and the archive itself. The point is to preserve stories over time, not force a whole life into one weekend.
Your family archive stays readable.
Prior stories remain visible after canceling, so families do not lose the work they already preserved.
A favorite story can become something printable without changing the membership model.
Keepsake stays separate from Active Capture so one story can still become a premium print object even after the family decides which memories deserve that extra finish.
Before Christmas Eve belonged to the family, it belonged to her in the kitchen. The radio stayed low, the counters were dusted white with flour, and the room already felt changed before anyone else woke up.
Gift the time to do this well.
Annual is the hero offer because it matches the real emotional use case: preserving a loved one's stories over time, then turning the best ones into keepsakes later.
Pricing questions
What happens if I cancel?
Saved stories stay visible in archive-readonly mode. You keep what you already captured, but new interviews, new drafts, and premium revisions stay locked until Active Capture starts again.
What stays accessible after canceling?
The private archive stays readable, and previously purchased keepsake exports remain available for those projects. What pauses is new capture and premium revision work.
Why is annual the default gift recommendation?
Families usually need time, not pressure. Annual better matches the real rhythm of collecting stories over months, and it is simpler to gift than a month-to-month subscription.
