Pricing and membership

Reading is free. Authors pay for access to the platform — never for reviews.

Online payment status

Free during beta. Paid plans may be introduced after beta. During beta, Author access is free and new Authors get a one-time starter credit allowance.

Online payment isn't switched on yet, so the author subscription and credits can't be bought today. This page will show final prices, taxes and billing terms before checkout opens.

Changing plans

  • Upgrading — author features unlock only once payment is confirmed, not when you select "Author".
  • Downgrading or expiry — takes effect at the end of the paid period. Your books, feedback and purchased credits are kept; listings become inactive and new uploads, promotions and credit spending stop.
  • A credit balance never replaces an active author subscription.

Service credits

Credits are used by paid authors for author services — currently, one credit queues one request for private feedback on your own book. If a request is cancelled or ends without feedback, the reserved credit returns. Credits are not money, can't be transferred and aren't earned by reading or reviewing.
