Direct answer
Steering Connect starts free with 1 book up to 50,000 accepted words and no credit card. Connect Plus is $4.99 per month for 3 active books up to 120,000 words. Pro is $9.99 per month for 10 active books up to 240,000 words plus 3 unique publication snapshots per billing period.
Free before paid
The first Connect book is included up to 50,000 accepted words. Draft attempts and conversation length do not consume that word allowance; only the accepted manuscript does.
Pro writing under fair use
Normal chapter-by-chapter work for the account owner is included within configured project and book limits. Automated bulk traffic, resale, account sharing, service substitution, and abusive request patterns are not.
Publication allowance
Pro’s period allowance counts unique immutable snapshots, not file formats or downloads. The current configured allowance is 3.
External checkout
Checkout runs on the authenticated BookWriter website. Stripe Checkout is never embedded in a ChatGPT card.
ChatGPT app distribution note
OpenAI’s current public app rules restrict commerce for digital services. Checkout links remain disabled inside the app unless those rules change or BookWriter receives a written exception.
Frequently asked
Is ChatGPT included in the price?
No. ChatGPT and other external assistants are separate services with their own accounts and terms.
