Sudowrite pricing
Pricing score: 76/10Sudowrite sells credits, not seats: $10-$59 a month across three tiers, with annual billing cutting up to 47%. What buyers misjudge is the credit system - features burn credits at different rates, and unused credits vanish monthly on every tier except Max.

Hidden costs to watch for
- Credits do not roll over on Hobby & Student or Professional - any unused portion of your monthly allowance simply expires, so overbuying a tier wastes money every month.
- Credit burn is opaque: different features (Write, Describe, Story Engine, Feedback) consume credits at different rates and Sudowrite publishes no per-feature rate card, so 225,000 credits is hard to translate into words in advance.
- The advertised low prices ($10/$22/$44) are annual-billed rates; month-to-month is $19/$29/$59 - up to 90% more on the entry tier.
- Credit allowances shown on the pricing page can differ by billing toggle - Professional has displayed both 450,000 credits/month and 1,000,000/month, so verify the number at checkout before paying.
- The annual discount is lopsided: 47% on Hobby & Student but only 24-25% on Professional and Max, so upgrading tiers erodes the yearly saving.
- If you cancel, you keep access to your projects but lose all AI features - your drafts are readable but the tool that edits them stops working.
Negotiation tips
Which tier is right for you?
Solo founder
→ Professional (annual)
At $22/month annually you get the full long-form toolkit plus Get Feedback; the trial will show whether the credit allowance covers your monthly output before you commit.
Small team (5-15)
→ Enterprise
Sudowrite plans are single-user; buying 5-15 individual Max plans is clumsy and unmanaged, so a custom Enterprise agreement via hi@sudowrite.com is the only sensible multi-seat route.
Scaling company
→ Enterprise
Custom credit volumes, central billing and negotiated pricing only exist at the Enterprise tier - the public tiers have no admin or seat management.
FAQ
No permanent free plan, but there is a free trial that requires no credit card, so you can test every feature and measure your credit usage before paying anything.
Annual, if you'll use it beyond a couple of months. Hobby & Student falls from $19 to $10/month (47% off), Professional from $29 to $22, Max from $59 to $44. The first-week refund policy softens the risk of paying a year upfront.
The only reliable discounts are the annual billing rates (24-47% off) and the $10/month Hobby & Student tier, which is effectively the student price. There are no public coupon codes, and no cancellation-flow offer is documented.
Credits are the currency spent on AI generations - drafting, rewriting, describing, brainstorming and Story Engine output. Different features burn credits at different rates and Sudowrite doesn't publish a rate card, so use the trial to gauge your real burn.
Only on Max, where unused credits roll over for 12 months. On Hobby & Student and Professional, whatever you don't use in a month is lost.
Yes - Sudowrite's docs say to email them any time in the first week of your plan if you're not 100% satisfied and they'll refund you. After that first week, no refund policy is documented.
You keep access to your projects and can still read and export your work, but the AI features stop working. Sudowrite advertises an 'EZ Cancel Guarantee' - cancellation is self-serve from the subscription page.
Professional is marked most popular and suits a novel-in-progress. Hobby & Student's 225,000 credits suit lighter, occasional use; Max only pays off if you produce a lot or want rollover credits as a buffer.
