StoryWith AI

StoryWith AI is a manuscript analysis studio: you import a draft (.txt, .docx or .pdf) and it builds a Story Bible, runs continuity and plot-hole scans, and turns its findings into a ranked fix list linked to the scenes involved. It is sold as a diagnostic alternative to prose generators, though it also has optional AI drafting: a premise-to-opening-scene start and Rewrite and Continue actions in the editor.

What You Get#

• Diagnostics dashboard: Findings on structure, pacing, emotional arc, dialogue, readability and theme, each linked to its scene.
• Continuity and plot-hole checker: Timeline, character-consistency and dependency scans. The free plan gets basic scans and paid plans get the full versions.
• Story Bible: Characters, a relationship map, world, themes and a story timeline taken from the manuscript.
• Reader feedback: AI reader personas (labelled "simulated perspectives") plus private-link beta-reader sessions mapped chapter by chapter.
• Readiness score and pitch kit: A 0–100 manuscript readiness score. The pitch kit (query letter, blurb, title alternatives, AI cover and submission checklist) and the nonfiction book proposal generator are listed as Pro and Founding Lifetime features.
• Ask AI editor actions: Tighten, Rewrite, Describe, Analyze, Instruct and Continue. Each is offered as a suggestion and nothing is replaced until you accept it.

Who It's For#

• Revising novelists: Authors who want a structural read before paying a developmental editor or querying. Scans work on a few chapters, not just finished drafts.
• Nonfiction authors: Writers who need argument-soundness and fact-check passes, coverage mapping and a proposal draft.
• Small teams: Paid plans add collaborators per book (2 on Author, 5 on Pro).

Pricing: Free ($0) gives unlimited books, 50 one-time AI text actions, 15 one-time AI images and basic scans, for one writer only. Author is $19/month or $149/year, with 500 AI text actions and 30 images a month, plus 3 reader sessions a month (4 on yearly billing). Pro is $39/month or $299/year, with unlimited text actions, 150 images, unlimited reader sessions and priority models. A Founding Lifetime seat costs $299 once (capped at 300 seats). It covers Pro features with 3,000 text actions, 200 images and 12 reader sessions a year, so AI use is not unlimited. The Studio team plan is $79/month or $599/year for unlimited members. Subscriptions can be refunded within 14 days. The lifetime seat can be refunded within 30 days, but only while you have used no more than 50 text actions and 10 images.

Strengths#

• Diagnosis over generation: Each finding card explains why it matters and suggests a direction. AI rewrites happen only when you ask for one.
• No training on manuscripts: The terms say your content is not used to train AI models. The privacy policy lists its sub-processors, including Google Gemini for text and Leonardo for images.
• Your work stays when you cancel: Books remain in your account and can be exported as Markdown, plus a full JSON export of the account.

Limitations#

• Very new, no independent track record: The Trustpilot profile was claimed in July 2026 and has no reviews. The Android app shows 100+ downloads. No author-community reviews were found, and the homepage testimonials are labelled as illustrative examples with fictional names, not customer reviews.
• Not purely non-generative: Despite the "does not write the book" message, onboarding can turn a one-sentence premise into chapter sketches and an opening scene, and the editor has Rewrite and Continue actions.
• No iOS app: The site's structured data lists iOS, but no StoryWith AI app appears on the App Store. Mobile is Android only.
• Excerpts go to third parties: AI features send manuscript excerpts to Google and Leonardo, under those providers' own terms. Outside the EEA, ad pixels from Meta, TikTok and Google load by default on public pages (the vendor says manuscripts never reach them).
• Lithuanian jurisdiction: The terms are governed by Lithuanian law (operator Silotech, UAB, Vilnius).

Alternatives#

Authors AI (Marlowe) and Fictionary are the closest analysis-first tools and have longer track records. AutoCrit puts more weight on line-level self-editing reports. If you want an AI co-writer rather than a diagnostic tool, look at Sudowrite.
