Which one is for you
Pick Squibler if
- Fits if you want an AI to produce a first draft of a book to rework
- Works for screenplay drafters who want outlines generated
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you stay on Free, as 500 credits go quickly and export is locked
- Tight if you write several books, since Plus covers a single book or screenplay and more points to Pro
- Pricey if you want unlimited credits, with Pro at $49.17 a month billed yearly
- Watch out: prices are in credits, and the pricing FAQ rounds them to $16 and $49
Pick Sudowrite if
- Fits if you're a novelist who wants AI help drafting and revising fiction
- Works for getting a book from a premise to a chapter-by-chapter outline
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's only a trial with limited credits and the AI stops without a paid plan
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $19 for Hobby & Student against $10 billed annually
- Skip it if you hate metering, since credits expire each month unless you're on Max at $44
- Watch out: 1 million credits may make 50,000 to 500,000 AI words, and the Professional card shows both 1,000,000 and 450,000 credits
- Watch out: Feedback needs Professional at $22, and the phone apps lack series management and other web features
How we grade them
| 2.0GPASquiblerFair | 2.4GPASudowriteFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPlus is $15.83 a month billed yearly, above the dearer quarter of writing tools ($12.50) but short of the dearest tenth. Pro is $49.17. | 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 | C500 AI credits a month, with no time limit, but Plus is 20,000 credits and export is Plus only. | 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 | CBook and screenplay generation, outlines and character tracking. The listing puts full manuscripts and exports on paid plans. | 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. You build the book from prompts, so there's a learning curve. | 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 no desktop or phone app and no integrations listed. | 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. |

Worth knowing
Squibler
- Pricing is in AI credits; the free plan's 500 monthly credits are far below Plus at 20,000.
- Export to PDF and DOCX is listed under Plus, not under Free.
- Plus is described for a single book or screenplay; multiple projects point to Pro.
- The pricing FAQ rounds prices ($16 and $49 a month), so the displayed figures differ slightly.
Sudowrite
- There is no free plan. Without a paid plan the AI features stop, though projects stay accessible and exportable.
- Use is metered in credits rather than words: the docs say 1 million credits may produce anywhere from 50,000 to 500,000 AI words.
- Unused credits expire monthly on Hobby & Student and Professional. Only Max rolls them over, for up to 12 months.
- The mobile apps are companions: series management and several other web features are not available in them.

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.
