Pick a hero. Fable proposes the whole story - where it happens, what goes wrong, how it turns. Change anything that isn't right, and it's written, illustrated and narrated in minutes. Creating stories is free. Unlimited. No trial, no catch. NEW: CREATE OPENS WITH YOUR HEROES, NOT A MENU There used to be five ways to start a story, and you had to pick one before you'd made anything. That's gone. Create now opens on your cast: who you used this week, who's still waiting for a first story, which journeys are mid-chapter, which drafts you left open. Tap a hero and the story is already proposed. IF YOU BUILD WORLDS Cast a hero, drop them somewhere impossible, and hand them a problem worth solving. Setting, twist and trouble all arrive as suggestions you can overwrite. Three-chapter journeys let a character carry a desire, a flaw and a love across a real arc. Search your whole cast by name or trait - build forty heroes and actually reuse them. IF YOU WRITE TO THINK Some stories are how you work something out. Start from a blank page with Craft Your Own: Fable asks, you answer, and the story is yours line by line. Leave mid-draft and come back - unfinished stories wait for you on the Still Writing shelf. HOW A STORY GETS MADE 1. Pick a hero - yours, or one from our cast. 2. Read the proposal: the setting, what's strange about it, how your hero feels, the trouble, the twist. 3. Change any line. Change one and everything after it is proposed again. 4. Choose one story, or a three-chapter journey. 5. Write it. Illustrated, narrated, saved to your device. A NEW HERO IN TWO QUESTIONS Answer two things - or tap Surprise Me - and Fable returns three finished heroes, each with a name, a personality, a skill and a portrait. Keep the one you want. Want to answer all seven questions yourself? That door is still open, and it still makes the best characters. CAST & CREATE Browse the Character Library and cast a ready-made hero straight into your story, each with their own quirks, strengths and flaws. Free heroes are yours to use any time. Premium heroes cost 1 token each time you cast them. New characters are added regularly. IMAGINE IT. HEAR IT. SHARE IT. - 75+ expressive voices (subscriber feature): narration that sounds human - Share to the Community Feed, or keep it on your private bookshelf - Subscribers can have stories featured on our Spotify and YouTube channels - Every story saves to your device. No Wi-Fi? No problem. Flights, road trips, bedtime in the deep woods. - Daily streaks and Master Storyteller achievements earn bonus Trail Tokens HOW TOKENS WORK Writing is always free and always unlimited. Tokens are only for extras: downloading a story's audio, opening the next chapter of a journey early instead of waiting, keeping an extra hero from a set of candidates, and casting a premium character.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Fable's Adventures at every 4 days against Fictional's every 2 weeks. Fictional's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (178 vs 26). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fictional sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Fable's Adventures sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fictional holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fictional has 178 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Fictional's written reviews are positive against 43% of Fable's Adventures's.
Fictional ships an update every 2 weeks, Fable's Adventures every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
