Simple, Transparent Pricing

Only the final words that appear in your document count toward your limit. If you ask our AI to rewrite a chapter 10 times, only the final version you keep counts. All backend processing (analysis, embeddings, AWE tracking, consistency checks) is on us—you only pay for what you see.

When you're running low on your monthly words, you can purchase one-time packs of additional AI words. They're available on all tiers and expire at the end of the month. Perfect for heavy writing weeks or when inspiration strikes! You'll see a "Buy More Words" option in your dashboard when you hit 80% of your limit.

You get full access to the Author tier (our most popular plan) for 14 days. We require a credit card to reduce trial abuse, but you won't be charged until day 15. Cancel anytime during the trial with no charge. After the trial, choose the tier that fits your needs.

No, never. We run 100% open-source AI models on our own infrastructure. Your content never leaves our systems and is never sent to external AI providers like OpenAI or Claude. This gives you privacy, speed, and predictable costs. Our AI infrastructure cost is fixed, so we can offer generous limits without surprise price increases.

Yes! Upgrade immediately and we'll prorate the difference. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period, so you keep access to all features until then.

AWE (Atomic Writing Elements) is our unique system for tracking story structure. It helps maintain consistency across your manuscript by tracking Plot Threads, Character Arcs, Story Beats, Tension, World Rules, and more. No other writing tool has this—it's what makes Epic Write special.
