How it works

The tool lets you organise chapters, scenes, and notes, keep a consistent codex of people, places, and lore, and use AI to help with outlines, summaries, and draft passages. It works with several AI providers, so you can connect your own API key or use its built-in options.

NovelCrafter offers a free plan for basic use, with paid plans unlocking the AI features and larger projects. It is a good fit for planners and outliners, though writers who just want a blank page may find it heavier than a simple editor.
