It is aimed at writers working on novels and other manuscripts. A free plan covers limited daily runs of line editing reports, rephrases, sparks, creative nudges, and Story Canvas, while Premium and Premium Pro plans unlock unlimited report runs, rephrases, advanced style tools, and Chapter Critique.
