Sudowrite Pricing 2026: Hobby, Professional, Max & Credits

Sudowrite has three subscription tiers—Hobby & Student, Professional and Max—and every tier includes the full feature set. The pricing difference is almost entirely about monthly AI credits and whether unused subscription credits can roll over.

Hobby & Student costs $19 month-to-month or $10 per month equivalent billed annually. Professional costs $29 or $22 annual-equivalent. Max costs $59 or $44 annual-equivalent and is the only standard plan with 12-month credit rollover.

Sudowrite pricing at a glance

Hobby & Student pricing

Hobby & Student costs $19 per month or $10 per month equivalent on annual billing, for a current annual total of $120.

The plan includes 225,000 credits each month and full access to Sudowrite's features. It is intended for writers who use AI selectively rather than asking the platform to generate large quantities of chapter prose.

Unused subscription credits do not roll over. They expire at the monthly refresh date.

Professional pricing

Professional costs $29 month-to-month or $22 per month equivalent billed annually, for an annual total of $264.

It includes 1,000,000 credits per month and the same feature set as the other tiers. Sudowrite positions Professional for longer work such as novels and screenplays.

Professional monthly subscription credits do not roll over, so writers with highly seasonal usage should compare Max or purchase extra credits only when needed.

Max pricing

Max costs $59 per month or $44 annual-equivalent, for an annual total of $528.

It includes 2,000,000 credits per month and allows unused subscription credits to roll over for up to 12 months from the date they were issued, as long as the user keeps an active Max subscription.

Max is the most suitable tier for authors who publish frequently, generate large parts of manuscripts with AI or have uneven month-to-month writing schedules.

Are all features included on every plan?

Yes. Sudowrite's current plan documentation says all three subscription tiers have full access to all features.

The plan decision is therefore much simpler than many AI products: authors are mainly buying different credit allowances and, on Max, rollover treatment.

How Sudowrite credits work

Credits are consumed when AI features perform work. Sudowrite calculates usage from factors such as how much text the model reads, how much it writes, the selected model and the complexity of the task.

There is no one-credit-per-word conversion. The same feature can cost different amounts depending on the surrounding context and model choice.

How many words do 1,000,000 credits generate?

Sudowrite's current documentation gives Professional as an example and says 1,000,000 credits might produce anywhere from roughly 50,000 to 500,000 AI words in a month.

This is an illustrative range, not a promise. Efficient rewriting or continuation can be much cheaper than asking a premium model to read a large Story Bible and generate a complete chapter.

Which features use the most credits?

Full chapter generation through Scenes and Draft can be relatively expensive because the system reads substantial story context and writes long output.

Targeted features such as Rewrite or Describe can be much more efficient. Model and Prose Mode selection also changes credit use.

Quick Edit and Chat credit usage

Sudowrite says Quick Edit and Chat are story-aware features included with plans and do not consume credits by default.

Both can offer High Quality modes that use credits. Writers who rely mainly on lightweight discussion and small edits can therefore stretch a Hobby subscription much further.

Do Sudowrite credits roll over?

Hobby & Student and Professional monthly subscription credits do not roll over. Any unused allowance expires at the monthly refresh.

Max subscription credits roll over for up to 12 months while the Max subscription remains active.

Can you buy extra Sudowrite credits?

Yes. Active subscribers can purchase additional credits when needed.

Purchased credits never expire and remain attached to the account even if the user pauses or cancels. However, an active Sudowrite subscription is required to actually use those purchased credits.

Which credits get used first?

Sudowrite uses expiring monthly subscription credits before separately purchased non-expiring credits.

This helps preserve purchased credit balances for months when the regular allowance runs out.

Sudowrite free trial

The current pricing page offers a free trial with no credit card required.

Sudowrite also states in current documentation that if a new paid user is not satisfied and contacts the company within the first seven days, the company will cancel and refund the plan.

Does Sudowrite have a free plan?

No permanent free plan is currently listed. Users can trial the product without a card, but continued access to AI features requires an active subscription.

After cancellation, writers can still access and work on projects, but AI functionality is disabled without a paid plan.

Sudowrite refund policy

Sudowrite documents a first-week satisfaction refund promise. Users who decide the service is not right for them can contact Sudowrite within the first seven days.

Outside that early period, the Terms generally state that ordinary digital-service fees are not refunded simply because a user cancels.

Sudowrite cancellation

Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Users can manage the plan through the membership page or contact Sudowrite.

Sudowrite advertises an EZ Cancel Guarantee and says users can upgrade, downgrade, pause or cancel without calling support.

Upgrades and downgrades

When moving to a higher tier, Sudowrite currently applies a prorated credit for unused time on the previous plan and restarts the billing cycle on the new plan.

Downgrades generally apply according to the next renewal cycle rather than instantly removing paid access.

Annual discount

Annual billing reduces Hobby from $19 to $10 per month equivalent, Professional from $29 to $22 and Max from $59 to $44.

That is a particularly large discount on Hobby, but authors should still test the product first because annual savings matter only when Sudowrite fits the writing process.

Enterprise pricing

Sudowrite's pricing page currently provides an Enterprise contact option rather than a public numerical enterprise price.

SearchSagar does not invent a seat or organization price where Sudowrite does not publish one.

Which Sudowrite plan offers the best value?

Choose Hobby & Student for light AI assistance, brainstorming and revisions. Choose Professional for sustained novel or screenplay drafting. Choose Max for heavy generation, multiple projects or writers who benefit from 12-month rollover.

Sudowrite pricing compared with alternatives

Claude Pro currently costs $20 monthly or about $17 per month with a $200 annual subscription. ChatGPT Plus costs $20 per month. Rytr Unlimited costs about $9 month-to-month or $7.50 annual-equivalent.

Those alternatives are broader or more generic. Sudowrite costs more than Rytr but provides Story Bible, Muse and fiction-specific drafting. Claude and ChatGPT offer much broader general-purpose capabilities but require more manual story organization.

Final pricing verdict

Sudowrite's pricing is easier to understand than its credit consumption. All plans include every feature, so authors only need to decide how much AI work they expect each month and whether rollover matters.

Professional is the most sensible default for serious fiction projects. Writers should only move to Max after measuring real chapter costs or when rollover prevents wasted allowance.
