How AI credits work

Pro subscribers get AI-powered narrative analysis included — no API key required.

Included with Pro

Your Pro subscription includes 1,000 AI credits every month. Scene, chapter, and character analyses cost 1–3 credits each; consistency checks, dialogue analysis, and style operations cost 1–3 credits per run; AI Chat costs 1 credit per message. Rewrite, line edit, expansion, proofread, and narration scale with how much text you send — a small selection costs a fraction of a credit, a full scene typically runs 2–5. Credits are only charged on successful completion.

What that covers

A typical 80,000-word novel uses about 175 credits for a full analysis pass. A full-manuscript rewrite pass uses more, but your monthly allowance covers multiple rounds of analysis, rewriting, and revision.

Need more?

Credit packs are available if you need additional analysis beyond your monthly allowance. Or bring your own API key and use your preferred AI provider directly — no credits needed.

Scene, chapter, and character analyses cost 1–3 credits each; consistency checks, dialogue analysis, and style operations cost 1–3 credits per run; AI Chat costs 1 credit per message. Rewrite, line edit, expansion, proofread, and narration scale with how much text you send — a small selection costs a fraction of a credit, a full scene typically runs 2–5.

Can I use my own AI API key instead?
Yes. Bookshaper supports Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) mode for Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), Mistral, Groq, OpenRouter, and Together.ai. OpenRouter and Together.ai give you access to hundreds of open-source and frontier models — including Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Mixtral — through a single key. Connect your key in Settings, and analysis requests go directly to the provider at their rates — no Bookshaper credits needed.

Credit and debit cards through Stripe. Apple Pay and Google Pay may also be available.
Are my manuscripts used for AI training?
No. Your manuscripts are never used for AI training. You retain full ownership and all rights to your work.
