What is Sudowrite?

Sudowrite is an AI writing tool built for fiction, with a Story Bible for characters and worldbuilding plus tools to write, rewrite, describe, expand and brainstorm. It runs as a web app at sudowrite.com, and its blog does not specify other platforms.

Who it's for

Sudowrite says it is for fiction writers, and its pricing page describes Hobby & Student for writing for fun or school, Professional for longer works like a novel or screenplay, and Max for authors who publish multiple times a year. Its blog says the tool is built exclusively for fiction.

Pros & cons

Strengths

Sudowrite's blog says a Story Bible can import up to 60,000 words of notes, and a Series Folder shares Story Bible content across books in a series.
The blog says Write continues a scene after reading up to 20,000 words of your manuscript plus the Story Bible, and Rewrite revises up to 6,000 selected words.
The blog lists Chapter Continuity linking up to 25 documents, Canvas with four outline templates, and a Chat-only mode that uses no credits.
The pricing page lists Muse and Ballad, Sudowrite's own fiction models, plus 30+ other models, and the blog names models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.
Sudowrite's FAQ says it claims no rights over what you put in or what it generates, and does not use your writing to train Sudowrite or OpenAI's models.
The help pages say you can cancel, upgrade, downgrade or pause, and can keep accessing and exporting your documents without an active plan.

Limitations

Usage is metered in credits that depend on words read, words written and the model used; the help page says 1,000,000 credits could yield anywhere from 50,000 to 500,000 AI words, so credits do not map directly to words.
The pricing page lists developmental edits, line edits and beta reads only for Professional and Max, and credit rollover (12 months) only for Max; the help page says Feedback is exclusive to Professional and Max.
Vendor pages disagree: the blog says every plan includes all features while the pricing page reserves some for higher tiers, and the pricing page shows Professional credits as both 1,000,000 and 450,000 (the help page says 1,000,000).
The pricing page shows $10, $22 and $44 without stating the billing basis and does not give trial length or credits; the help page lists $19, $29 and $59 monthly versus $10, $22 and $44 billed annually.
After canceling, AI features need a paid plan per the FAQ, and the privacy policy page read does not mention AI training and shows conflicting update dates (March 20, 2024 and October 6, 2020).
