The difference
Who keeps your canon current?
Pro — Canonwise maintains it for you
Every save updates your canon: characters and their facts, relationships, story events, state changes, and world rules — with conflicts flagged before they reach the page.
Studio — built for series
Pro understands one novel deeply. Studio adds heavy AI usage and very large manuscripts today, and is where series canon across multiple books arrives first.

Questions
How plans work.
Is Free a trial?
No. Free is $0 forever with no credit card. You can write one novel on it indefinitely, with the full editor, autosave, and export.
What happens if I downgrade?
You keep reading, editing, and exporting everything you've written, on every novel. Your Story Bible and past analysis stay visible. Only premium work stops: automatic analysis beyond the Free preview, full manuscript memory, and new novels past one.
How is AI usage measured?
Each plan includes a monthly AI allowance — Light, Generous, or Heavy — shown as a simple meter in Billing. It refreshes every month. If you reach it, your writing and Story Bible are unaffected.
What's coming to Studio?
Series canon across multiple books, cross-book continuity checks, priority processing, and a choice of AI model. They're in development and marked “Coming soon” until they ship.
