Overview
NovelCrafter is a browser-based writing workspace built for novelists. Its centerpiece is the Codex — a story bible and world-builder that keeps characters, places and lore consistent across chapters. AI tools generate scene beats, summarize scenes and extract characters, using a BYOK model: connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter key and pay the provider directly at cost. Plans: Scribe at $4/month (no AI), Hobbyist at $8 (most popular), Artisan at $14, and Specialist at $20 with collaborative writing and teams — all with unlimited books and series, plus a 21-day free trial with every feature unlocked and no credit card required.
