Discounts, promo codes and cheaper options

LongStories has one built-in discount: a yearly plan costs 25% less than twelve months of the same monthly plan. This guide shows where to find it, where to enter a promotion code, and which other choices lower your cost.

The yearly discount

1. Open the Pricing page.
2. Select Yearly. The button shows the saving, 25%.
3. Read the plan cards. Each card shows the price per month, the total for the year, and how much you save in a year.

For example, Pro costs $59 a month with Monthly. With Yearly, the Pro card shows $531 billed yearly.

• Every current plan has a yearly price: Pro, Creator, Creator Max, Studio and Studio Max.
• You pay for the full year in one payment.
• A yearly plan adds its credits each month, not all at once.

If you have a monthly plan now, you can switch to yearly on the account page. See Compare plans and upgrade.

Promotion codes

The checkout page for a plan or a credit pack has a field for a promotion code. If you have a code, enter it there before you pay. The Pricing page and the app do not list any codes.

You see the checkout page when:

• You subscribe and you do not have a plan.
• You buy a credit pack and you do not have a saved card.

You cannot enter a code when:

• You change from one plan to another on the account page.
• You buy a credit pack with Buy now and a saved card.
• Automatic top-ups buy a pack for you.

What the Pricing page does not have

• A plan below Pro. Pro, at $59 a month, is the smallest plan on sale.
• A plan for a day or a week. A plan is monthly or yearly.
• A student, education, non-profit or first-month price.
• A free trial that makes a video. A new account gets 200 free credits, one time, for the tools that do not make a video. See What a free account includes.

Other ways to lower your cost

• Buy a credit pack when you need more credits. A pack is a one-time purchase, from $12 for 800 credits. You need an active paid plan to buy one. A pack costs more per credit than a monthly plan, so a higher plan is cheaper if you buy packs often. See Buy more credits.
• Invite a friend. Select Get free credits in the sidebar, or open the Referrals page, and share your invite link. Your friend gets 300 credits for a new account made with the link. You get 300 credits when the first video of your friend is complete. See Earn credits with referrals, and the affiliate program.
• Move to a cheaper plan. On the account page, select Downgrade on the plan you want. The change starts on your renewal date. See Compare plans and upgrade.
• Check the price before you generate. Each video shows its price in credits before it starts. See How many credits a video costs.
