Friends & Fables Pricing and Alternatives
Plans, free turns and other options
Friends & Fables is an AI dungeon master for D&D 5e. You can try it free, and the paid plans run from $19.95 to $39.95 a month. Below is the full price list, plus a few alternatives if it isn't quite what you want. One of those is NERVEJACK, which we make.
Friends & Fables Pricing (2026)
| Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 |
| Starter | $19.95/mo | $16.63/mo |
| Pro | $29.95/mo | $24.96/mo |
| Legend | $39.95/mo | $33.29/mo |
Paying yearly gets you two months free. The free allowance is a bit unclear: the pricing page says up to 25 turns a day, while the homepage says 50 free turns. Only one person in a party needs to pay, which makes it a lot cheaper per player if you play as a group.
What It's Good At
It plays real 5e. Combat is turn-based on battlemaps, with spells, abilities and monsters from the rules you already know. Parties go up to six players, and you can build your own world with a map maker, then add generated images and text to speech on top. It runs in the browser, and you can add it to your phone's home screen.
Why You Might Look Elsewhere
It's D&D 5e only. If you want a different system, mostly play alone, or want unlimited turns for less than $19.95 a month, one of these might fit better.

NERVEJACK
Our game, and a very different one. There's no 5e and no party. It's a solo cyberpunk RPG where an AI game master runs a whole city and the game keeps track of your HP, credits, inventory and where you stand with each faction. When you die, you stay dead. It's 18+ and R-rated. You get 20 free turns on your first day and 10 a day after, and Pro is $12 a month with no turn limit.
AI Game Master
A phone-only app (iOS and Android) with lots of genres, D&D among them, plus XP, items and dice, and it generates images and narration. It charges a token per turn. Packs start at $0.99 and unlimited plans at $24.99 a month. See how AI Game Master pricing works.
AI Dungeon
Any genre, and free, with what AI Dungeon calls unlimited AI use on its free models. It's freeform storytelling rather than 5e or any other ruleset, though. Paid plans start at $14.99 a month. We compare more options in our AI Dungeon alternatives page.
