Write It teamUpdated 2 min read

Write It meters AI usage in tokens. Everything else about the pricing follows from understanding what a token is and what spends them.

The plans

Write It plans
PlanMonthlyYearlyTokens
Free$05,000 once at signup
Plus$10$96 ($8/mo)100,000/month, rolls over
Premium$15$144 ($12/mo)200,000/month, rolls over

A one-time pack of 250,000 tokens is available for $7 if you need a top-up without changing plans.

Plus adds Write It Max, larger file uploads, the Research Agent, and the deep research model. Premium doubles the token allowance and adds priority support and early access to new features.

What a token is

Tokens are the unit AI models bill in — roughly, pieces of words. Write It passes that metering through rather than inventing a separate credit system, so what you spend tracks what a request actually cost to run.

The practical consequence is that costs are proportional to size and complexity. A one-sentence rewrite is cheap. An agent run that plans, drafts, and revises a full section reads and writes far more text, so it costs more.

What spends tokens

  • Apollo Agent Mode. The most token-intensive feature by a distance — it reads your document and generates across multiple steps.
  • The AI Humanizer. Scales with the length of the passage you rewrite.
  • Highlight Mode. Small, since it operates on a selection.
  • Research Mode. Source discovery and Works Cited generation both use tokens; the deep research model uses more.
  • The AI Detector. Scales with document length.

The auto typer itself does not consume tokens for typing text you already have — that is a local operation. Live grammar and clarity checks in the Writing Assistant are also not metered.

Which plan you need

  • Stay on Free if you mostly want the auto typer and the writing checks, with occasional AI help. Both of the former are unmetered.
  • Get Plus if you use Apollo regularly, want Write It Max on every document, or are writing a research paper that needs the Research Agent.
  • Get Premium if you are running out of tokens on Plus. It is the same features with double the allowance — if 100,000 is enough, Plus is the right plan and we would rather you stayed on it.

Because tokens roll over, a heavy month followed by a light one evens out. Most students on Plus do not exhaust an allowance every month.

Billing details

  • Cancel any time. Access continues to the end of the billing period you paid for.
  • Yearly saves 20%. $96 versus $120 on Plus, $144 versus $180 on Premium.
  • No card for the free tier. Signing up costs nothing and requires no payment method.

Start on the free plan

Frequently asked questions

Do unused tokens expire?
No. On Plus and Premium, unused tokens roll over and stack on top of the next month’s allowance.
What happens when I run out of tokens?
Metered AI features stop until your next refill. The auto typer and the live writing checks keep working, since neither consumes tokens. You can also buy a one-time 250,000-token pack for $7.
Is Write It Max a separate purchase?
No. It is included with Plus and Premium. Free accounts get one Max run so you can see the difference before deciding.
Is there a free version?
Yes. A free account gets 5,000 tokens once at signup, plus one run of Write It Max and a first Apollo conversation on us. There is no card required to start.
What are tokens?
Tokens are how AI usage is metered. Bigger jobs — a long agent run, a full research draft — cost more than a short rewrite. Plus and Premium refill monthly and unused tokens roll over.
