Best for drafting a book or screenplay from a chat prompt
Squibler writes outlines, chapters or a whole draft from a chat prompt, then lets you edit with AI help. The free plan gives 500 AI credits a month. Full-length manuscripts and PDF or DOCX export need Plus at $15.83 a month billed yearly, and Plus is meant for one book at a time.
Who Squibler is for
- Fits if you want an AI to produce a first draft of a book to rework
- Works for screenplay drafters who want outlines generated
Who Squibler is not for
- 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

Keep Squibler, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Squibler you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 78 of the 100 other writing tools grade higher. It costs $189.96 a year.
What you could make
- Long-form writing: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
What this rests on. Squibler’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Squibler?
Squibler is a browser-based AI writing tool for long-form fiction, nonfiction and screenplays. You describe an idea in chat, and it generates outlines, chapters or a full draft that you then edit with AI help. It tracks characters and settings, and can turn passages into images.
Worth knowing
- 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.
Key features
- Full-length book generation
- Turns a concept, genre and core elements into a draft organized by chapters and scenes. Plus lists 200 to 300 pages.
- Screenplay generation
- Produces a screenplay draft with formatted scenes and dialogue that follows screenplay conventions.
- Outlines

- AI Smart Writer
