Sudowrite
Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
Sudowrite is an assistant for long works of fiction and for screenplays. That is a rare specialisation: almost all its neighbours in the catalogue are aimed at advertising and selling copy, while here the matter is prose.
By the capabilities page the tool can: sketch out ideas (Brainstorm), unfold an outline into a draft (Expand), continue a text already begun (Write), draw up an outline, pick synonyms, rewrite dialogue, invent characters. Separately declared is feedback on what is written — instead of beta readers. Declared also is "Speaks 30+ languages".
For social networks the tool is not directly intended: its instruments are writerly, not marketing ones. It gets into the catalogue as a means of preparing a long text out of which posts are then made.
Which platforms it works with
With none — at least, by its own words. Export to social networks or other platforms is not announced on the pricing and capabilities pages. The tool is described as a separate application for writing.
About an API, browser extensions or links with third-party editors the tool does not write either.
Pricing
The prices are from the pricing page, the currency is US dollars, the values are shown for monthly payment.
Hobby & Student — 10 dollars a month. Professional — 22 dollars a month. Max — 44 dollars a month. Enterprise — on request ("Enterprise, Drop us a line").
On the page there is a Monthly/Yearly switch with the note "Up to 50% off". The wording "up to" means that the maximum discount goes not to all the plans, but to which one exactly is not said.
What is free
A permanent free plan the tool does not announce. All the paid plans have a trial access: "Start Free Trial — No credit card, cancel anytime" — a card is not required, cancelling is possible at any moment.
What this trial does not have are declared bounds. Neither a term in days, nor a volume in credits is stated on the pricing page: the trial is announced, its size is not. How long it will last will have to be found out at registration.
Restrictions
The unit of the limit is credits, and here the tool has a direct contradiction on its pricing page.
Hobby & Student — "225,000 credits per month". Max — "2,000,000 credits per month". Both values are unambiguous.
But with Professional two different figures stand side by side on the page: "1,000,000" and "450,000 credits per month", with the note "2x as much!". It looks like a temporary promotion, where the former value is struck through and the new one is put beside it — but from the markup of the page that does not follow, and which of the two figures is in force cannot be determined. If the Professional plan suits you by price, the volume of credits is worth clarifying before payment.
There is one general reservation and it is in the user's favour: "Unused credits rollover for 12 months" — unspent credits carry over for twelve months. This is a noticeable difference from tools where what is unused burns up at the end of the billing month.
What one operation costs in credits the page does not explain.
There are no requirements in the terms to mark what a machine has created: neither an obligation to label, nor watermarks, nor a mention of the C2PA standard.
Rights to the output
Here comes a surprise, and for a tool that is sold to authors of novels a large surprise: about the fate of the output of generation the terms say nothing.
The terms of use speak only about what you have uploaded: "All rights in and to Your Content remain with you". That is about your own text — the one you brought into the tool.
But about the rights to what is created with the help of AI nothing is said there. Neither about ownership, nor about commercial use, nor about publication of the output. Neither a permission, nor a ban, nor a transfer of rights.
One half of the question is closed directly, the second is not touched at all. For a person who is going to publish what is written, this is a substantial gap.
Do they train on your data
Neither the terms, nor the privacy policy say whether the models are trained on your text. Nor is it said whether the text is passed to third-party suppliers of models — and a tool of this kind almost certainly works on other people's models.
The nearest thing in sense in the policy is the general "Improve Products and Services" and a mention of transfer to "trusted third parties that work with us". Neither of the two answers the question: improvement of the product is not the same as training of models, and the "trusted third parties" are named without an explanation of who they are and what they receive.
An opt-out from use of the text for training is described in neither the terms nor the policy — just as the use itself is not described.
How you earn with it
Whether what is written with the help of Sudowrite may be published and sold the terms do not say. They close only half the question — the text you brought in: "All rights in and to Your Content remain with you". About the rights to what AI has created, about its publication and about commercial use not a word is said in them: neither a permission, nor a ban, nor a transfer of rights.
For a tool that is sold to authors of novels and screenplays this is a substantial gap.
What the source does state outright is a counter-restriction on itself. The licence given to the tool is "to host, store, process, display, and transmit Your Content, but solely as necessary to provide and improve the Website and Services", and there as well it is stipulated: "This limited license does not grant us the right to sell or distribute Your Content outside of these Services". The right to sell your text to the side the tool does not obtain.
There are no differences by plan in this part: the wording is one for all the plans, and a permanent free plan the tool does not announce.
What it will not do
It will not publish to social networks itself and will not export anywhere: platforms for publishing are not announced at all.
It will not let you work free of charge: there is no permanent free plan, and the size of the trial access is not named.
It will not confirm the rights to what AI has created: the terms speak only about the text you brought in. This is the main thing the tool lacks, and the main thing to look at for anyone who counts on publishing what is written.
About training on your text it will say nothing and will not offer an opt-out from it.
It will not oblige you to mark what a machine has created: requirements of labelling are not in the terms.
And the volume of credits on the Professional plan it will not guarantee you in advance — on the pricing page there are two of them, and which is in force is not written.

About the platform
an assistant for long literary texts and screenplays: sketching out ideas (Brainstorm), unfolding an outline into a draft (Expand), continuing the text (Write), drawing up an outline, choosing synonyms, rewriting dialogue, feedback on what has been written instead of beta readers, inventing characters; "Speaks 30+ languages" is announced
the description is from the features page; the tool is aimed at prose and screenplays, not at advertising copy
source, checked 2026-08-04
The service publishes no list of languages. The FAQ verbatim: «You can write in almost any language. Click Write, and Sudowrite will match your language when it offers suggestions. When using other features, Sudowrite may fall back on English when it isn't sure. Try it out in our free trial to see how it works for you!» That is, the main feature picks up the language of the source text, while the other features may switch to English. There is no verifiable list naming Russian, Arabic, Hindi or Chinese
the home page, the pricing page, the FAQ and the Terms and Conditions were checked — there is no other source about languages on the site

Pricing
Hobby & Student — $10 per month; Professional — $22 per month; Max — $44 per month; Enterprise — on request ("Enterprise, Drop us a line"); there is a Monthly/Yearly switch with the note "Up to 50% off"
the prices shown are with monthly payment; the currency is US dollars
source, checked 2026-08-04
$10 per month — the «Hobby & Student» plan (225,000 credits a month) on MONTHLY billing. The next tiers are Professional $22 per month (450,000 credits) and Max $44 per month (2,000,000 credits). The currency is USD. There is no free plan; there is a trial period with no card
the page has a Monthly/Yearly switch promising «Up to 50% off», but the server delivers only the monthly values ($10/$22/$44), duplicated for the desktop and mobile layouts; the monthly price is taken, as the brief requires
source, checked 2026-08-07
no permanent free plan is announced; all the paid plans have trial access, "Start Free Trial — No credit card, cancel anytime", the volume and the term of the trial are not stated on the pricing page
the term of the trial period is not named on the pricing page

Limits and restrictions
Sources diverge: Hobby & Student — "225,000 credits per month"; Professional — the page has two numbers side by side, "1,000,000" and "450,000 credits per month", with the note "2x as much!"; Max — "2,000,000 credits per month"; the general caveat "Unused credits rollover for 12 months"
the Professional plan shows two different credit volumes in a row on the page — it looks like a temporary promotion with the previous figure struck out; which number is in force does not follow from the markup

Restrictions
Terms and Conditions, the «Prohibited uses» section: it is forbidden to use the service (a) for any unlawful purpose; (e) «to harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, disparage, intimidate, or discriminate based on gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, race, age, national origin, or disability»; (f) to create sexual content involving or exploiting minors; (g) «to submit or create false or misleading information»; (i) for spam, phishing and scraping; (j) «for any obscene or immoral purpose»; and (l) — verbatim — «to create content that is political in nature». THE BAN ON POLITICAL CONTENT IS EXPLICIT. The age threshold is 18. About images of real people and medical advice the terms are silent
wording (l) is unique among these eight services — the other seven have no explicit ban on politics in their terms

Legal
There is nothing to opt out of: the service states that it does not train models on users' texts at all. In the FAQ, to the question «Does Sudowrite use my writing to train models?» the answer is verbatim: «We are constantly listening to writers' feedback to improve Sudowrite. However, we do not use your writing to train AI models». The Terms and Conditions do not contradict this: they grant only a licence «to host, store, process, display, and transmit Your Content, but solely as necessary to provide and improve the Website and Services» and expressly stipulate «This limited license does not grant us the right to sell or distribute Your Content outside of these Services»; and in the same place, «All rights in and to Your Content remain with you». There is no difference between plans
the FAQ and the Terms and Conditions (https://sudowrite.com/terms-and-conditions) do not contradict each other; the robots.txt of www.sudowrite.com was read in full — «Allow: /», with only /_next/static/ closed
source, checked 2026-08-07
the terms speak only about what the user has uploaded: "All rights in and to Your Content remain with you"; the rights to what has been created by AI and commercial use or publication of what is created are not addressed in the terms
this is unexpected for a tool sold to novelists: the terms are silent about the fate of the generation result itself
