Questions
Pricing FAQ
Can I start with a free trial?
Yes. Creating an account starts a 30-day Draft Desk trial immediately, so you can try the workspace before choosing a paid subscription.
Can I subscribe without using the trial?
Yes. Choose a paid plan from this page. If you are not signed in, PlotDirector will ask you to log in before continuing to checkout.
Can I change plan later?
Yes. Signed-in users can manage subscription changes from the account subscription area.
What happens to my work if I cancel?
Your existing story data remains in PlotDirector. Your account may return to Draft Desk after the paid subscription ends.
Will PlotDirector write my book for me?
No. PlotDirector is designed for authors who write their own books. It helps organise, understand and analyse your work. The writing and creative decisions stay with you.
Is PlotDirector suitable for a series?
Yes. The higher plan limits are designed for authors managing multiple books, long arcs, and larger casts.
Do I need a credit card for the trial?
No. Payment details are not required for the free trial. Stripe Checkout is only used when you choose a paid subscription.
What happens when the trial expires?
Your trial status will show in your dashboard and subscription pages. When the 30 days are over, choose a paid plan to continue with the capacity your story needs.
