What it is
Cloud novel-writing app with a Plot Grid, story notebook, word-count goals, and real-time co-authoring. Simpler to learn than Scrivener and works on desktop, browser, iOS, and Android with automatic sync. It has positioned itself as an AI-free writing space. The trade-off is ongoing subscription cost, which runs higher than most rivals.
Pricing model
Subscription — Writer US$19/month, Author US$29/month (adds track changes, advanced grammar and style checks, beta-reader support); about 20% off annually; Author lifetime US$699. 14-day free trial. After cancelling, your work stays read-only and exportable.. Always confirm on the vendor site before buying; plans change.
