audio stories so much that we got her the travel-sized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/listening\/yoto-player-review\/\">Yoto Player<\/a> for her third birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when an email landed in the inbox recently about a new kids&rsquo; audio player &mdash;one that&rsquo;s been compared to the Yoto and the Toniebox &mdash;I was intrigued. It&rsquo;s called the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/seedpace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seedpace Interactive Player<\/a><\/strong>, and I figured it deserved a look from me and my chief tester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Seedpace for sending one out for review purposes.

But the Seedpace Player definitely stands out on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seedpace is the brainchild of a dad whose three-year-old asked, &ldquo;If I were the hero, could I be brave too?&rdquo; during a bedtime story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the Yoto, it&rsquo;s a portable screen-free audio player that lets you plug in and play different stories and songs. But that&rsquo;s where the similarities end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seedpace looks a bit like a small robot&rsquo;s head, with its buttons forming a face. Pick it up and give it a wiggle, and the player acts dizzy. Even left alone, the face stays &ldquo;alert&rdquo;, offering the odd wink, frown, or smirk. It is a small detail, but a fun touch that makes it instantly endearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The Seedpace Interactive Player alongside its Yoto Player pals\" class=\"wp-image-62681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-445x334.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-580x435.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-yoto-700x525.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Seedpace Interactive Player alongside its Yoto Player pals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-seedplayer-crafts\">Seedplayer Crafts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of Yoto-style cards, the Seedpace audio comes on sturdy, disc-shaped crafts. To play one, simply place it on top of the player, and it starts automatically. Swap it for another, and it even remembers where you left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get three crafts in the box: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-storybox-12-bedtime-stories\">Storybox: 12 Bedtime Stories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much more to say about this, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Or craft, as it were. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-dino-land\">Dino Land<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we add some interactivity. Dino Land is a fun and educational craft that blends audio drama with learning about dinosaurs, featuring interactive true-or-false quizzes along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-the-cursed-wizard\">The Cursed Wizard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one&rsquo;s the Seedplayer&rsquo;s <em>piece de resistance<\/em>. The Cursed Wizard uses AI to generate stories that cast your kid as the main character. I couldn&rsquo;t really believe what I was hearing, first time round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seedpace.com\/collections\/craft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seven other crafts are available on the Seedpace website<\/a>. I&rsquo;ve got a couple on my Santa list, <strong>Space &amp; City Explorers-The Alien&rsquo;s Adventure<\/strong> and <strong>Clumsy Monster: Learning at School &amp; Time Travel<\/strong>. We&rsquo;ll see if the big man delivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Podcasters can create their own audio stories and add them to blank crafts, too. Why not pair the player with the ultra-accessible <a href=\"https:\/\/alitu.com\/creator\/content-creation\/micro-speak-plus-talking-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Micro-Speak Plus recorder<\/a> and let your kid tell some stories of their own?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-how-do-the-seedpace-ai-stories-work\">How Do the Seedpace AI Stories Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What&rsquo;s under the hood is a mystery. But you set up a profile on the Seedpace companion app, where you&rsquo;re invited to enter your child&rsquo;s first name, age, and gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you pick from a range of Educational Goals. These are things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Values: <\/strong>Kindness, honesty, compassion, etc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social Skills:<\/strong> Friendship, sharing, conflict resolution, etc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emotional Education:<\/strong> Confidence, perseverance, coping with setbacks, etc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cognitive Development: <\/strong>Curiosity, creativity, problem solving, etc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Life skills: <\/strong>Time management, basic etiquette, healthy habits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s also a &lsquo;More Goals&rsquo; section where you can add in any that weren&rsquo;t an option. For example, &ldquo;patience&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems the player uses this information to create fully AI-generated stories, but they sound surprisingly well produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids choose a location using the left button and a best friend with the right, then, after a short pause, the player creates a brand-new story. It is a clever and impressive feature. Granted, they don&rsquo;t compete with something a human has written and produced, but the stories manage to capture a real sense of fun, imagination, and discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that I&rsquo;ve had a minor bug with the smartphone app where it won&rsquo;t lock in my wee one&rsquo;s gender settings. I set it to &lsquo;Female&rsquo;, but it always reverts back to &lsquo;Prefer not to say&rsquo;. It&rsquo;s a small thing, and I doubt it has any bearing on the stories, but I&rsquo;ve tried everything to fix it and just can&rsquo;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The Seedpace Player undergoing a rigorous testing routine\" class=\"wp-image-62682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-445x334.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-580x435.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/seedpace-interactive-player-700x525.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Seedpace Player undergoes a rigorous testing regime<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-seedpace-interactive-player-vs-yoto-player\">Seedpace Interactive Player Vs Yoto Player<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So the Seedpace Player isn&rsquo;t just a Yoto knockoff. That said, it&rsquo;s unlikely your kid would need both. So which to choose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-pricing\">Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/seedpace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you can get the Seedpace with its three crafts for $99\/&pound;80<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/yoto-mini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yoto Mini<\/a> is currently $80 (&pound;60), and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/yoto-player\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yoto 3rd Gen<\/a> is $110 (&pound;100).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s unclear which cards are included. From memory, there was a small bundle (including a &lsquo;write your own&rsquo; card) that came with the 3rd Gen. I&rsquo;m sure the Mini was accompanied by one &lsquo;write your own&rsquo; card, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-variety\">Variety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for variety, then there&rsquo;s very little you <em>can&rsquo;t<\/em> find for the Yoto. They have a <em>huge <\/em>library, from Disney and Sesame Street to Roald Dahl and Harry Potter. You can even get Bob Marley and The Beatles albums on Yoto cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the cost of stories, you can get a pack of cards with six Disney classics for $45. The Swashboggling Collection sits at $50, whilst The Chronicles of Narnia is a princely $60. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seedpace&rsquo;s small library of crafts is typically cheaper than Yoto&rsquo;s offerings. Everything is currently priced at $20 on the player&rsquo;s website, though there&rsquo;s no big IPs on there yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-durability\">Durability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As for durability, our two Yoto Players have had a tough life and still live to tell the tale. The Seedpace Player <em>seems <\/em>durable enough, though I&rsquo;m not going to ask her to throw it down the stairs to find out for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do think the crafts look more resilient than the Yoto cards, though; it would take something special to bend or break one of those!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-headphones\">Headphones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>None of these players comes with headphones, but all have a 3.5mm jack. Often, it&rsquo;s fun to hear their audio. But on lengthy car journeys, do you really want to hear Elsa belting out <em>Let It Go<\/em> for the fiftieth time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-extra-features\">Extra Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yoto 3rd Gen has an &ldquo;okay to wake&rdquo; light feature, which Seedpace and the Yoto Mini don&rsquo;t. I know that has nothing to do with audio stories, but if you&rsquo;re in the market for one of those, too, then that might just swing it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-interactivity\">Interactivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interactivity is the Seepace Player&rsquo;s USP. Not only can you play educational true-or-false quizzes, but The Cursed Wizard craft tailors AI-generated stories around your kid&rsquo;s first name and learning goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That isn&rsquo;t to say Yoto is an entirely passive player.

At only $99 (&pound;80 in the UK), it offers excellent value, especially given its near-infinite story potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the Seedpace catalogue is limited, while Yoto&rsquo;s is extensive. But since both players let you record and add your own, you&rsquo;re unlikely to feel stuck with a small selection. I fully expect Seedpace to add more crafts to its range over the coming year as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s no clear winner, and I&rsquo;d be happy if my wee one could only ever use one or the other. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/seedpace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seedpace<\/a><\/strong> has the novelty edge right now, though, and it&rsquo;ll be exciting to see what they do next with this clever technology!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seedpace is an interactive screen-free audio player that lets kids
