Remento vs. Cluemoo
Remento records a storyteller's spoken answers for a year and prints them as a hardcover book with a QR code on each chapter that plays the recording ($99). Cluemoo is a weekly cooperative mystery game for grandparents and grandkids, built from family stories. Choose Remento to keep their voice; choose Cluemoo to get grandkids talking every week.
| Compared | Remento | Cluemoo |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A recorded life-story book: a year of prompts, spoken answers turned into written chapters, then a hardcover book. | A cooperative mystery game built from the grandparent's stories, with a new case every week or every other week. |
| Who takes part | One storyteller records; unlimited family collaborators can follow and help. | One grandparent and one or two grandkids (ages 4 to 17) play together, each with half the clues. |
| Price | $99 for a year of prompts and one color hardcover book (up to 380 pages). Extra copies $69. | $35 for 3 months, $59 for 6 months or $99 for a year, paid once. Or one case for $9. |
| Renewal | Optional after the first year: $99 a year or $12 a month to keep recording. Recordings stay available if you stop. | Nothing renews. When the weeks run out, you choose whether to buy more. |
| What you keep | A printed book, the original recordings (downloadable) and transcripts. | No printed book. What lasts is the habit of calling and the stories the grandkids heard. |
| What the storyteller needs | A link by email or text; no app to install. | A phone, tablet or computer with a web browser on each side, plus any way to talk (FaceTime, WhatsApp, Zoom or a phone call). No app to install: each player taps their own link. |
| Refund | 30-day money-back guarantee. | Full refund within 30 days. |
What does each one do?
Remento sends the storyteller prompts, they answer out loud, and Remento turns the recordings into chapters the family can edit. After a year it prints a book, and each chapter has a QR code that plays the original recording. Cluemoo turns a grandparent's stories into a mystery the grandparent and grandkids solve together, each holding half the clues.
Where is Remento better?
Keeping a voice. If what you'd treasure most in twenty years is hearing how Grandpa told it, Remento is built for exactly that, and Cluemoo doesn't keep recordings or print a book. Remento's price also includes the book and unlimited collaborators, and it suits a storyteller who would rather talk than type.
Where is Cluemoo better?
Involving the grandkids now. A recorded memoir is something the grandparent makes for the family; Cluemoo is something the grandparent and grandkids do together, every week or every other week, from age 4 up. A child who would never sit through an interview will happily crack a code that only works with Grandma's half of the clues.
Remento or Storyworth?
Both print a book after a year. From their own pages in November 2026: Remento is built around speaking (recordings, QR codes in the book, $99 with one color book), while Storyworth starts at $69 for a black-and-white book, with phone stories listed on its Basic and Color plans and a color book at $99. Pick by whether your storyteller would rather talk or write.
