Strengths, limits and who it suits, in full

- Clear rights statement The FAQ says Sudowrite claims no rights over what you put in or what it generates.
Limits
- Credit figures unclear The Professional card shows both 1,000,000 and 450,000 credits and no per-word rate is published.
- No refund on cancellation The Terms say fees are not refunded on cancellation.
- Trial details missing The trial's length and allowance were not stated on the pages read, and no permanent free plan is listed.
- Renewal wording differs The Terms describe monthly renewal while the pricing page sells yearly billing.
Who it suits
- Novelists drafting and revising a long manuscript Story Bible, Canvas and Feedback target book-length work.
- Students and hobby writers Hobby & Student is the lowest-priced plan at $10 a month billed yearly.
- Not for under-18 users The Terms require users to be at least 18.
- Not for non-fiction or business copy The product is built for fiction, and no business-writing workflow was read.
How much does Sudowrite cost?
Prices confirmed · checked
Regional prices: Prices are US dollars from the pricing page.
Each plan has a lower rate billed yearly and a higher rate billed monthly; the page says up to 50% off yearly, but the yearly total and how a yearly plan renews were not read, and the Terms describe monthly renewal. Credits arrive on a monthly renewal date and expire unless the plan has rollover (Max, up to 12 months); extra credits can be bought, do not expire, and their price was not read. Every credit needs an active subscription. The Professional allowance is unresolved: the page data says 1,000,000, the visible card also shows 450,000. The free trial needs no credit card, but its length and credit amount were not stated. Fees are not refunded on cancellation, and projects stay accessible without AI features.

How far does it go?
- Cost per 1,000,000 creditsDividing the listed plan price by its credit allowance gives about $44.44 per 1,000,000 credits on Hobby & Student billed yearly, $22 on Professional billed yearly and $22 on Max billed yearly; billed monthly it is about $84.44, $29 and $29.50. Arithmetic on published prices, not a statement by Sudowrite; it uses 1,000,000 for Professional, and at 450,000 the figure would be about $48.89. Credits per word are not published, extra-credit prices were not read, and the base subscription is the whole cost counted.
Arithmetic from the published allowances above, not a usage test.

| Rewrite, Expand and Describe revise a passage, build out a rushed scene or add sensory detail | — | |
| Story Bible and Canvas take a story from idea to outline to chapters and hold characters and plot points | — | |
| Chat, Brainstorm and Feedback for ideas, names and five areas to improve; Professional and Max add developmental edits, line edits and beta reads | — | |
| Muse and Ballad, models made for fiction, plus 30+ other models on every plan | The pricing FAQ names Anthropic Claude models, open-source models, OpenAI models and in-house models such as Muse. | Which model handles a given feature is not stated, so output depends on choices the app makes. |
| Visualize generates art from character and world descriptions | — | |
| Credits | Every action spends monthly credits; Hobby & Student includes 225,000, Max 2,000,000, and Professional is stated as 1,000,000 in the page data while the card also shows 450,000. | The pages give no credits-per-word rate, so the length of a book your plan covers cannot be worked out before you try the app. |
| Rights and training | Sudowrite says it claims no rights over what you write or what it generates, and that it does not use your writing to train Sudowrite's or OpenAI's models. | The Terms still grant it a licence to host and process your content to provide and improve the service, and the Privacy Policy was only skimmed, so read both before uploading an unpublished manuscript. |
Does Sudowrite have a free plan?
There is a free trial that the pricing page says needs no credit card, but no permanent free plan is listed. The length of the trial and the credits it includes were not stated on the pages we read, so open the trial before you plan a manuscript around it. After cancelling, you can still open your projects but cannot use the AI features without a paid plan.
Which credit figure applies on Professional?
The plans differ mainly in monthly credits: 225,000 on Hobby & Student, 2,000,000 on Max and an unresolved figure on Professional. The pricing page’s structured data says 1,000,000 credits a month, while the visible card also shows 450,000 beside a 2x label. We could not tell whether one is a promotion or an older number, so confirm the allowance in the app before choosing the plan. No credits-per-word rate is published.
Who owns what you write, and is it used for training?
The FAQ says Sudowrite claims no rights over what you put in or what it generates and does not use your writing to train Sudowrite’s or OpenAI’s models. The Terms also grant a licence to host and process your content to provide and improve the service; read both before uploading an unpublished book.
How could you check Sudowrite before paying?
Proposed evaluation · not performed yet
Test one real chapter during the trial.
- Pick a scene of about 1,000 words from your own draft.
- Run Rewrite and Expand on it and note the credits used.
- Multiply by your chapter count and compare with each plan’s allowance.
- Check the trial’s length and whether the edit and beta-read features are included.
Accept if the voice matches and the credit use is visible. Reject if one chapter uses most of a month’s allowance. No result is recorded here.

We did not create an account, start the trial or generate any text, so output quality, trial length, credit use per task and the real Professional allowance were not observed.
