Frequently Asked Questions
General
What is Bibbly?
We started by making a board book for our daughter - turned her into a dinosaur, Daddy became a bear, Grandma became a cat. Now any family can do the same thing. Pick your characters, pick an art style, and Bibbly generates printed board books where your kid is the hero. The same engine also powers a baby name finder and wardrobe tool.
How does the pairwise comparison work?
You see two options and pick one. A Bayesian model tracks your choices across hundreds of dimensions - phonetics, origin, style, popularity. After 15-20 picks you have usable rankings. After 50 they are very good.
Can my partner and I use it together?
Yes. Each partner votes independently, then Bibbly computes a joint ranking - names (or outfits) that land in both of your top preferences. Pareto-optimal: names neither of you would veto.
Story Box
What is a Character Universe?
Your family's personalized story world. You create characters (a baby dinosaur named Mara, a bear named Daddy, a cat grandma called Gigi), pick an art style, and Bibbly generates illustrated board books starring them. Each character has a visual reference sheet so they look consistent across every book. The books use the names your baby actually uses - "Daddy," "Gigi," "Nana" - not generic labels.
What does a subscription include?
A printed 10-page board book every month, matched to your child's current age. A 10-month-old gets peek-a-boo stories. A 3-year-old gets sharing and friendship. Plus activity cards, character stickers, and a letter from the hero to your child. You can also buy individual books a la carte or go digital-only.
How much does it cost?
Monthly Story Box is $49.99/mo. Quarterly is $129.99 every 3 months (save 13% vs monthly). Digital-only is $9.99/mo or $79/yr. Single print book a la carte is $39.99. Cancel anytime.
How long does shipping take?
Print books ship in 2-3 weeks via USPS from Pint Size Productions. Digital books and PDFs are available instantly. Free digital books are limited to 1 per month.
Gifting
Can I gift a subscription?
Yes. Grandparents love this. Pick the child, set up the characters together, and books arrive every month.
How do gift subscriptions work?
You purchase a 3, 6, or 12-month gift plan. The recipient family creates their characters and art style, and personalized board books start arriving - one per month, age-matched to their child. Each box includes a board book, activity cards, a character letter, and a sticker sheet.
Can I set up the characters myself or does the family need to?
Either way works. You can set up the universe together as a fun activity, or the parents can do it on their own. The gift includes full access to character creation and story customization.
What if the family already has a subscription?
Gift months are added to their existing subscription. If they are on a monthly plan, the gift extends their subscription by the number of months you purchase. Nothing is wasted.
Billing
How do I cancel?
Account settings. Cancel anytime. You keep everything through end of billing, and all your books are yours forever.
