Subscription Plans & Pricing

Plan Overview

Genesis Writer offers four subscription tiers designed for different stages of your writing journey. Everyone starts on the free Starter plan, which gives you a taste of the platform. When you're ready for more, three paid plans unlock the full creative toolkit.

All paid plans share the same feature set — the difference is how many tokens and how much storage you get each month. There are no feature walls between Writer, Creator, and Professional. Pick the tier that matches your writing volume.

Full Plan Comparison

Here's the complete breakdown of what each tier includes:

Starter (Free)

The Starter plan is your entry point. Sign up with an email address or Google account and you immediately receive 25,000 Genesis Tokens — enough to try out AI generation, explore the editor, and write a few scenes.

This is a one-time grant. Unlike paid plans, Starter tokens never reset or refresh. Once you've used all 25,000 tokens, you'll need to subscribe to a paid plan to keep generating.

Starter Models

Starter users have access to three AI models:

• Grok 4.1 Fast (xAI) — the default model. Fast, token-efficient, and a strong all-rounder for first drafts.
• Claude 4.5 Haiku (Anthropic) — natural prose with strong dialogue and character voice.
• GPT-4.1 Nano (OpenAI) — lightweight and efficient for short passages.

All three are budget-tier models, so your 25,000 tokens go further than they would with premium models. For a detailed comparison of all models, see Choosing a Model.

Starter Limitations

The Starter plan has some restrictions beyond the token and model caps:

• 3 projects maximum — enough to try the platform, but you'll need a paid plan for serious multi-project work.
• 50 MB storage — covers basic usage, but image-heavy projects will hit this quickly.
• No AI character profiles — biography, voice, and personality generation require a paid plan.
• No character chat — talking to your characters is a subscriber feature.
• No custom portrait generation — AI portrait creation requires Writer or above.
• No marketplace publishing — Starter users can create custom styles, plugins, and beta readers, but can't publish them to the marketplace.

Paid Plans: Writer, Creator & Professional

All three paid plans unlock the complete Genesis Writer experience. There's no feature gating between them — every subscriber gets access to:

• All 21 AI models across Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), xAI (Grok), and MoonshotAI (Kimi).
• Unlimited projects with no restrictions on structure or complexity.
• AI character profiles — biography, voice analysis, and personality generation.
• Character chat — develop your characters through AI-powered conversation.
• Custom portrait generation in five styles: Classic, Sketch, Editorial, Dramatic, and Stylized.
• Custom styles and plugins — build your own writing tools.
• Marketplace publishing — share your creations with the community.
• Beta reader sessions — get AI-powered feedback on your manuscript.

The only differences between tiers are token volume and storage capacity. Choose the tier that matches how much you write:

• Writer ($19.99/mo) — 5M tokens, 25 GB. Perfect for most authors writing a novel or two.
• Creator ($29.99/mo) — 12M tokens, 50 GB. For heavy writers, serial authors, or those who use premium models extensively.
• Professional ($49.99/mo) — 25M tokens, 125 GB. For power users, writing teams, or anyone who needs maximum capacity.

All paid plans share the same features — only token volume and storage differ

The Token Economy

Genesis Tokens are the universal currency for everything AI-powered in the platform. They provide a single, unified balance that works across all 21 AI models regardless of provider. You never need to think about provider-specific pricing.

Different models cost different amounts. Budget models ($) are the cheapest, while premium models ($$$$ – $$$$$) cost more tokens per generation. The Token Economy article covers model cost tiers, image generation costs, and strategies for maximizing your tokens.

First-Time Subscriber Bonus

When you subscribe to a paid plan for the first time, Genesis Writer awards you +25% extra base tokens for your first month. Every first-time subscriber gets the same bonus — whether or not you signed up through a referral link.

After the first month, subscribers receive exactly their plan's base token allocation each billing cycle. The first-month bonus is a one-time perk.

Here's how the first-month bonus works:

These extra tokens are part of your base allocation — they reset with your billing cycle just like your normal tokens. They do not carry over or accumulate.

Choosing the Right Plan

Not sure where to start? Here are some common scenarios:

• I'm just exploring. Start with Starter. Your 25,000 free tokens let you try the editor, test a few AI models, and see if the platform fits your workflow.
• I'm writing a novel. Go with Writer ($19.99/mo). You get 5M tokens monthly, all 21 models, and every feature. Most solo authors find this more than sufficient.
• I write every day and use premium models. Consider Creator ($29.99/mo). The 12M token budget gives you breathing room for heavy daily use with models like Claude 4.5 Sonnet or GPT-5.2.
• I'm a power user or professional author. Professional ($49.99/mo) gives you 25M tokens and 125 GB of storage. This tier is built for writers who rely on Genesis Writer as their primary tool.
