3. Pricing Pricing (2026-10, USD)
| Plan | Price / mo | Key limits & who it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Free Trial | $0, | 10,000 credits, no time limit, no card, all features unlocked. When credits die you keep export access to your docs, but can’t generate. Not a “free plan” — it ends. |
| Hobby & Student | $10/mo | billed annually ($120/yr) / $19/mo monthly — 225,000 credits/mo, no rollover. Casual writers, students, NaNoWriMo dabblers. |
| Professional (most popular) | $22/mo | billed annually ($264/yr) / $29/mo monthly — 1,000,000 credits/mo on annual, 450,000/mo on monthly billing (the fine-print catch), no rollover. Working novelists/screenwriters. |
| Max | $44/mo | billed annually ($528/yr) / $59/mo monthly — 2,000,000 credits/mo, unused roll over 12 months while subscribed, priority queue, setup session. Prolific / series authors. |
| Enterprise | — | custom, multi-seat, custom credit pool, contact sales. |
| Credit math | — | not 1:1 with words; a Write call (~300 words out + context in) costs more than a Rewrite of one sentence; heavy regen burns fast. 225k credits ≈ tens of thousands of words depending on mode/model. |
| CPT | $0, | pricing_type = paid (trial is not a free tier), starting_price = free_tier = “10,000-credit no-time-limit trial, all features, no card, no commercial-lock on export”, note “no perpetual free plan; paid from $10/mo annual; Professional 450k/mo if billed monthly not 1M”. |
