FutureMe and Our Fable

FutureMe is simple and useful for text-only future letters. Our Fable is a fuller family archive built around a child and the people who love them.

Chapter 01The distinction

Different tools for different family jobs.

FutureMe

What it tends to do well

FutureMe is lightweight: write a letter, choose a date, and send it later by email.

FutureMe is best for sending a simple written email to yourself or someone else at a future date.

Our Fable

Where Our Fable is different

Our Fable supports many contributors and richer media, with standard milestone openings and custom future dates chosen by the family.

Our Fable is best for families who want more than one future letter: a private child archive with letters, voice notes, photos, videos, and contributions from the child’s circle.

Chapter 02Plain answer
Best fit
Use FutureMe for one letter. Use Our Fable for a child’s private archive made from many voices and formats.
Not for
Our Fable is not the simplest choice if all you need is one plain text email scheduled for the future.
Our Fable pricing
$99/year. Each additional child is $39/year. Each child gets their own archive and can share the same circle or have a completely separate one.
