Every feature ships to every account. There is no Pro plan to unlock, no credits to buy, and no features gated behind a paywall. Bring your key and get everything.
The BYOK model
No key yet? Sign up and start writing immediately with DeepSeek Flash, our platform-funded built-in model. No credit card, no configuration, no clock ticking. Add your own key in Settings whenever you want Claude, GPT-4o, or Gemini.
Most AI writing tools charge $20-30 per month and run your prompts through their own API accounts. You are paying a markup and trusting them with your manuscript.
With BYOK, you paste your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Your writing goes directly to the model. We never see your content, and you pay the provider at their published rates, which are very cheap for creative writing.
A full month of heavy writing typically costs less than a coffee. Light writers often spend under a dollar.
