Koobiba vs Hörbert
Hörbert is the closest in spirit — buttons, your own files, no account at all — and it loads from a phone too, through a web page on its own WiFi. Koobiba loads from its app, and family can record into it from anywhere.
Consider Hörbert if you want a button player on sale now, with nine buttons rather than three, over two hours of audio on the card it comes with, and no account at all.
* What it costs to replace five lost cards, figurines or chips at the vendor's retail price. Where the audio comes back without paying again, the table says "Content retained": Yoto, for example, keeps a lost card's title in your app and re-links it to a blank card. Koobiba has nothing physical per story, so nothing to replace.
** Price is what the vendor charges for the cheapest way to own the player, at list price, in its own currency. Some vendors sell the player alone; others sell it only in a set, and the note under the price says what the set includes.
