Clear answers before you start.

Which plan covers a connected series?

Series adds shared canon and continuity checks across books. Writer and Author analyze single books.

Can I switch plans later?

You can upgrade or downgrade your plan. Plan changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access through the end of your current billing period, then have a 30-day grace period to export your data.

What if my manuscript is longer than 100,000 words?

Longer manuscripts use more credits according to their word-count band. The first-read allowance shown here is for novels up to 100,000 words; other workflows also use credits.
