Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Story Notes pricing
Can I really use Story Notes for free forever?
Absolutely! The Free plan includes unlimited projects, basic writing tools, 2 GB cloud storage, and access to all grid types. You only pay if you need advanced features like full animations, extended storage, and premium exports.
What happens if I cancel my Pro subscription?
You'll still have access to all your data through the Free plan. Your content remains yours - we just disable Pro features like advanced animations, extended storage, and premium exports.
What's the difference between Free and Pro writing?
Free users get a basic Tiptap editor with core writing features. Pro users unlock the full editor power with advanced formatting, collaboration tools, and enhanced writing capabilities.
Is there a limit to how many projects I can create?
No! Both Free and Pro plans include unlimited projects (worlds). You can create as many story universes as you want without any restrictions.
Can I export my data on the Free plan?
The Free plan includes basic export functionality. Pro users get access to HTML and PDF exports for more professional output options.
How secure is my data?
Very secure. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never read or analyze your creative work. Pro users get additional privacy features like password-locked grids.
