📎 Long-form fiction and screenplay writing, not marketing copy. Free tier gives 1,000 AI credits/mo (no card) — enough to test Smart Writer but not a full manuscript. Plus at $15.83/mo annual unlocks full-length generation (10,000 credits/mo ≈ 200-300 pages). No zh/ja entry (probe: English-only site). Collaborative writing features are thinner than marketing tools — built for solo authors and co-writer pairs, not brand teams.

Scores marked Verified (docs) are our editorial judgment from the vendor’s own pages and pricing — not hands-on testing. Only ★ Hands-on tested dimensions come from accounts we created and used ourselves.

Pros

  • The only AI Writing tool in this index built for long-form fiction and screenplays — not marketing copy
  • Elements story-bible system keeps characters, locations and plot consistent across 30+ chapters
  • Genuine free tier: 1,000 AI credits/mo, no card, indefinite — real test, not a trial
  • Full-length manuscript generation on Plus (10,000 credits ≈ 200-300 pages) plus physical book order

Cons

  • Free 1,000-credit ceiling is not enough for a full manuscript — paid Plus tier required
  • Elements database needs initial setup time before AI drafting quality improves
  • Browser lag reported on projects over 100,000 words (verified user reports)
