What makes Hridaa different
The words stay theirs
In “Write it myself”, AI never writes the book. Owl asks questions; AI only illustrates, and lightly polishes spelling only if your child asks.
A reading buddy that grows
Feathers for reading, writing and quizzes. The owl grows from egg to wise owl and graduates with a Golden Feather. No leaderboards, ever.
Private by design (DPDP)
Nicknames and avatars only, no photos, no ads, no tracking. Read with Owl listens on the device itself.
Rooted in Indian stories
Retell Panchatantra, Tenali Raman, Akbar–Birbal, Jataka and more — in English or Hindi.
Real books, not just screens
Four book looks, colour PDF in A4 or A5, and a members-only gallery with parent approval.
Never blocked
One shared monthly pool of AI pictures. When it runs out, stories still get made with Hridaa scene art.

How usage and billing work
What does each plan add?
Free: the full studio for one child (AI stories, writing, Story Board, read-along, art) with 3 stories, 6 AI pictures and 1 keepsake a month, in the book look made for your child’s age. Solo: more allowance, all book looks, a clean print PDF and magic pictures from drawings. Plus: two children, sequels and the comic look. Family: four children, bilingual keepsakes and limits per child.
Is the crossed-out price real?
Yes. Solo, Plus and Family are listed at ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,099 a month, and are offered at ₹299, ₹499 and ₹799 as a launch offer for families who join early.
What counts as a story, and what is an AI picture?
A story is one AI story, one continuation, or one finished book your child wrote. AI pictures come from one shared monthly pool: a story uses 1–7 (cover, pages and a new hero portrait, depending on age), and a magic picture from a drawing uses 1. Writing, reading, Read with Owl, drawing and quizzes are not counted.
What if the pictures run out?
Your child can still make and finish stories. New books use Hridaa scene art instead of AI pictures until the pool resets, and you can see the pool in Parent Mode.
Do siblings share the allowance?
Yes. Your plan gives one household allowance that all your children share. Each child keeps their own private library and history, and you can set an optional limit for any child in Parent Mode.
When does it reset?
Allowances reset on the 1st of each month (India time), or when your billing period renews.
What happens when it runs out?
You get a reminder at 75% and 90%. When stories are used up, new ones pause until the reset; when pictures are used up, stories carry on with scene art. Reading, writing and drawing always keep working. We never charge for extra use.
What if something fails?
If a story or picture can’t be made, it isn’t counted. Pressing the button twice doesn’t count twice.
How does yearly billing work?
Yearly covers 12 months for about the price of 10, charged once a year. Free stays free either way.
Prices include GST. Schools: write to hello@hridaa.org.
