Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 18 of the 136 other writing tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Squibler, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You build the book from prompts, so there's a learning curve.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $15.83 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $15.83 per month, billed annually ($29.99 billed monthly).

That is against the other writing tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
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.
