## Ways to pay less

- **Save 45% with annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page shows Plus at $15.83 a month and Pro at $49.17 a month when billed annually, against $29.99 and $89.99 monthly. Source: https://www.squibler.io/pricing/

## 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:** Builds a story outline showing structure, pacing and character progression that can be reorganized at any stage.
- **AI Smart Writer:** Evaluates your text against a stated goal and proposes revisions that you accept, reject or refine.
- **Elements and visuals:** Stores characters and settings so edits stay consistent, and turns highlighted passages into images or short video clips.

## Good for

- First-time authors who want a structured draft to edit
- Screenwriters who want formatted script drafts
- Writers who want an AI co-author for revisions

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** Plus 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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** 500 AI credits a month, with no time limit, but Plus is 20,000 credits and export is Plus only.
- **Features: C.** Book and screenplay generation, outlines and character tracking. The listing puts full manuscripts and exports on paid plans.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You build the book from prompts, so there's a learning curve.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations listed.

## Keep it, 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: 102 of the 136 other writing tools grade higher. It costs $189.96 a year.

- You could make: Long-form writing: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
