Plans
Pay for access, not for tokens
Try the workflow free with $1 of metered built-in AI — enough to explore, not a guaranteed full paper; add your own OpenRouter key to keep going. A paid plan unlocks manuscript exports, journal packages and the submission queue. Run the AI on your own OpenRouter key, or choose the plan with built-in AI included. Claude and Codex subscription connections are not offered to customers yet. Prices are provisional while usage costs are measured.
