How we grade them
| 1.8GPASassbook AI WriterWeak | 2.4GPASudowriteFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$32.50 per user a month billed yearly ($39 monthly), in the category's dearest tenth, which starts at $25. | CHobby & Student is $10 a month billed annually with 225,000 credits, which is middling for writing tools, where plans run from about $5 to $12. Pay monthly and it's $19. Feedback, meaning the edits and beta reads, needs Professional at $22. Paid plans can be refunded in the first 7 days. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free plan with daily caps, such as 20 writer generations of up to 50 words, and no card. | CNo free plan. There's a free trial with a limited number of credits and no credit card needed, which is as far as free goes here. Without a paid plan the AI features stop, though your projects stay accessible and exportable. |
| Features | CFive tools: writer, story writer, summariser, paraphraser, headlines, with API credits. Writer output is short even on Premium. | BIt covers the whole job of drafting fiction with AI: Write suggests roughly the next 300 words in your voice, Story Bible goes from idea to synopsis, characters, outline and chapter beats and then drafts the scenes, and Describe, Expand and Rewrite work over passages. Feedback needs Professional. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Five tools and their limits to learn. | C4.45 on the App Store from 384 ratings, which lands in the middle band rather than over the 4.5 bar. The credits take getting used to as well: the docs say 1 million of them may produce anywhere from 50,000 to 500,000 AI words. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with API credits on paid plans. | BWeb, iOS and Android, with projects synced between them, which is more than one family of devices. But there's no desktop app, no integrations are listed, and the mobile apps are companions centred on dictation and chat, without series management. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
