What's included

What each plan includes

How many separate books you can have live at once. Each has its own QR, its own chapters and its own analytics.
	Included	Included	Included
Your readers get video, audio narration and updates inside the chapter, on their phone, with no app to install.
	Included	Included	Included
See which chapter loses them, how far they scroll, how long they stay and how many finish. Chapter by chapter, not one number for the book.
	Included	Included	Included
Put an offer, a course or a booking link inside the chapter itself, and see exactly which one got clicked.

A reader highlights a passage and shares it as a designed card carrying your cover and a link back to the book.

One public page with your photo, bio and every book you've published. You edit it yourself.
	1 cover, one-time	5 covers a month, no rollover	5 covers a month, no rollover
Describe your book and get cover artwork for its interactive edition. Pro includes 1 cover, once per account. Studio includes 5 covers each paid month (not during the free trial); unused covers don't roll over.
	Included	Included	Included
Every reader who created an account on your book, with what they opened and what they clicked. Both plans see the list and can build segments.
	Not included	Included	Included
Filter your readers by chapter, by book or by behaviour, then take that exact group as a file. Pro builds the same segments and reads them on screen; Studio is the plan that can take them out.
	Not included	Included	Included
Studio downloads the addresses as a CSV you can load into any mailing tool. Pro sees the same readers on screen but cannot download them.
	Not included	Included	Included
Every author gets support, on either plan. Studio goes to the front of the queue, and a Studio question reaches someone who can change your account rather than someone who has to pass it on.

Generate a short video for a chapter's video slot from the chapter's own words or your cover, then insert it. Studio includes 10 AI video credits a month (about 50 seconds), shared across your books: one credit is 5 seconds of video, counted only once the video is delivered. Nothing during the free trial, and unused credits don't roll over. Need more? Buy a credit pack; pack credits expire 90 days after purchase. Not included in Pro.
