- Cost
- Paid subscription; you pay your model provider separately.
- What it keeps
- Manuscripts are stored in their app; the model calls go to the provider you configured.
The distinguishing choice is bring-your-own-model: Novelcrafter is the manuscript, the codex of characters and places, and the planning board, and you supply the intelligence via an API key. Point it at a local server and the prose never leaves your network.
That makes it one of the few hosted writing tools where the content policy is whatever your chosen backend's is.
Worth knowing before you start
