Why we chose a one-time price

Subscriptions make sense for some services, but we do not believe writers should have to keep paying simply to continue using the tool in which they create their work. A novel may take months or years, and a screenplay can go through countless drafts. Your writing software should not become another bill ticking away throughout that process.

AuthorsDrop takes a simpler approach. Try it first. If it works for you, pay once and keep using it. No monthly charge. No annual renewal.

What’s included

Each item links to a short tour page (with a way back, or on to the next suggestion):

What you’re paying for

Continued editing and export after the trial. The software doesn’t switch to a “lite” mode - you’re keeping the account you already used. Projects remain available through your AuthorsDrop account and Secure Sync; nothing is deleted if you wait to pay. After expiry, viewing and export may still work until you unlock; full editing returns when you pay or redeem a friend code.

No subscription

There is no monthly or annual plan. $89 USD once (or your local equivalent on the store you use) is lifetime access for that account. Read more on the no subscription page.

Where you pay

On the website, open Billing after you sign in (Stripe). On the Mac App Store build, lifetime access is an In-App Purchase that unlocks the same AuthorsDrop account - including the website. If you already paid on the web, sign in on Mac; you should not need to buy again.

Friend codes, when you have one, redeem in the app and skip payment entirely.
