Frequently Asked Questions
Is FictionEngine really free to start?
Yes — the Free plan gives you AI writing, cover design, EPUB export, social scheduling (1 account), and your own author website with no credit card required. Upgrade anytime as your needs grow.
What's the difference between monthly tokens and pay-as-you-go tokens?
Every paid plan includes a monthly AI token allowance that refreshes each billing cycle. If you go over, you can buy additional token packs. Free plan users can purchase tokens as needed — tokens never expire.
Can I save by paying annually?
Yes. Annual billing saves you the equivalent of two months: Creator $190/yr, Publisher $490/yr, Studio $990/yr.
Do I need the Desktop app to use FictionEngine?
No. The web platform is fully featured on its own. The Desktop app is a separate one-time purchase for authors who prefer an offline, Scrivener-style experience with local storage.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Absolutely. You can cancel anytime from your account settings. Your plan stays active through the end of the billing period.
What social networks does the scheduler support?
TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X. More networks are coming — Creator plan connects up to 5 accounts, Publisher up to 15, Studio is unlimited.
