Questions people ask
What is an AI credit in Authrot?
One credit equals one cent of model usage at Authrot's rates, which include the AI provider's cost plus a margin.
Can I use Authrot without AI?
Yes. Turning on AI blackout for a project means no model reads the text, nothing is suggested or drafted, and no credits are spent, while the story bible, history, co-authors, publishing, and export still work by hand.
Is there a subscription for Authrot?
No. You buy a credit pack once when you want more AI usage, and purchased credits never expire; the account and writing tools are free.
How far do 1,000 credits go?
It depends on the model chosen: roughly a few hundred chapter reads or assistant replies on the Economy level, or a few dozen on the High quality level.
Can I get a refund on a credit pack?
A credit pack can be refunded within 14 days if none of it has been used, from the Plan & credits page.
