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 the application-managed Draft Desk level after the paid subscription ends.
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 higher paid-plan access.
