Porchlight

One call a week. A book by the end of the year.

Every plan is the same service. The only difference is how you would rather pay for it.

Founding Family

For the first ten families, in exchange for telling us what is not working.

$24per month

This rate is locked for as long as you stay subscribed.

  • Everything in the monthly plan
  • The price never goes up, even when the public price does
  • A short call with the founder once a month, if you want one
  • Your feedback shapes what gets built next

Monthly

The standing weekly call, billed month to month.

$39per month
  • One phone call every week, at a time you choose
  • Every call becomes a new chapter within a day
  • A private page for your family, always up to date
  • Cancel any time, and keep everything written so far

Annual

The same thing, with two months back.

$349per year

Works out to $29 a month, a saving of $119.

  • Everything in the monthly plan
  • A full year of weekly calls, which is roughly fifty chapters
  • One payment a year instead of twelve
  • Cancel any time, and keep everything written so far

If the first month is not what you hoped for, write to us within 30 days and we will refund it in full. Prices are in US dollars. Cancelling takes one email and stops the next charge.

What every plan includes

A call every week, at a time you pick

Same day, same hour, so it becomes part of the routine rather than a surprise. You can move it or pause it whenever you need to.

An interviewer that remembers

It knows what your parent said last week and the week before, so it follows up instead of starting over. It never rushes and never interrupts.

A written chapter after every call

Usually ready within a few hours, in their own words, organized by the period of life it belongs to rather than the order it came up.

A private page for the family

One link, no account, no app. It works on a phone, a tablet, or a computer, and it grows every week.

Before you decide

What if my parent will not talk to a computer?

Most people forget within a couple of minutes. It is a real conversation, not a menu of options, and the voice is warm and unhurried. If the first call does not go well, tell us and we will refund you.

Is this cheaper than just writing it down ourselves?

Cheaper than a ghostwriter, who runs into thousands. More than a book of prompts, which costs less because it depends on someone actually doing the writing. Most families have already tried the prompts.

What happens to the stories if I cancel?

They stay. The page keeps working and you keep every chapter written so far. Cancelling stops the calls, not your access to what is already there.

More questions are answered on the questions page, or you can write to us.

Work at a senior-living community?

Pricing works differently for communities, and pilots are free for the first 90 days. Nobody on your staff joins the calls or manages a schedule.
