How Author2Publish pricing works
Every plan includes the same guided workflow and seven specialized agents. Spark stays free when you Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), so you can validate the process before paying for platform-managed AI. Paid tiers add token allowances, publisher submissions, marketplace selling, and production exports without watermarks — upgrade only when your manuscript is ready for the next stage.
Compare tiers on the features comparison page or read author stories on the Growth Journal. Questions about marketplace payouts or Stripe Connect? See author resources. Most authors stay on Spark until their first manuscript reaches Bloom, then upgrade for exports and submissions.
Annual billing discounts and Publishing Credits packs are available after signup under Subscription settings for authors who want occasional token top-ups without changing tiers. Cancel or downgrade anytime from the same settings page.
