Do I get credits with my subscription?

When you first sign up to a ProWritingAid account, we will give you one credit to run Manuscript Analysis or Virtual Beta Reader. We will also give you two credits to run Plagiarism Checks.

However, if you have a Free plan, your initial credit will only entitle you to a partial analysis using Manuscript Analysis or Virtual Beta Reader. Think of it as a helpful trial of these features.

If you choose to subscribe to a Premium or Premium Pro plan when you first sign up, even your initial credit will entitle you to a full analysis using Manuscript Analysis or Virtual Beta Reader.

What are credits?

Credits are for extra features you can run, regardless of the subscription you have. There are two different types of credits you can buy with ProWritingAid: Manuscript Analysis Credits and Plagiarism Checks.

Manuscript Analysis Credits

You can use one of these credits to run Manuscript Analysis or Virtual Beta Reader one time. Manuscript Analysis gives you feedback and targeted advice prioritized in importance on your entire story. Virtual Beta Reader offers insights and impressions from a reader’s perspective on your entire story.

Plagiarism Checks

You can use one Plagiarism Check to run ProWritingAid’s Plagiarism Checker on up to 2,000 words of text. Our tool will check your work for plagiarism against over a billion web pages, published works, and academic papers.

How to buy more credits

You can purchase Manuscript Analysis Credits or purchase Plagiarism Checks directly on our website.

Alternatively, log in to your account on the ProWritingAid website. If you are already logged in, hover over your profile name and click “My Account.” You can also go to your Dashboard and click on your profile icon in the top right-hand side of your window, then click “My Account.”

On the right-hand side of your window, click on the “Purchase more credits” button under “Manuscript Analysis Credits.”

If you want to buy Plagiarism Checks instead, click on the “Purchase more credits” button under “Plagiarism Checks.”

How to get discounts on credits

To get discounts on Manuscript Analysis Credits, upgrade to Premium or Premium Pro. You will get 30% off Manuscript Analysis Credits with Premium, and 50% off Manuscript Analysis Credits with Premium Pro.

Why aren’t credits included in subscriptions?

Manuscript Analysis, Virtual Beta Reader, and Plagiarism Checks require advanced processing to run. We offer these features as specialized add-ons instead, as this helps to keep subscription costs down while still giving you the choice to access these tools.
