How much will Folian cost?

Folian is currently preparing for early access. Pricing will be designed to stay simple and writer-friendly, with founder access offered to early users.

Does Folian include AI usage in the price?

Folian is designed around a bring-your-own AI keys model. This means writers can connect supported AI providers such as OpenAI or Claude and manage AI usage through those accounts.

Why does Folian use bring-your-own AI keys?

Bring-your-own keys gives writers more control over provider choice, model choice and AI usage costs. It also helps Folian focus pricing on the writing system rather than bundling unpredictable AI usage into every plan.

Is Folian a subscription product?

Who should join early access?

Early access is for writers working on novels, series, fantasy worlds or long-form fiction who want a better system for manuscript structure, story bible, canon, style and AI-assisted writing.

Simple early access pricing for serious writers

Folian is preparing for early access.

The aim is to keep pricing simple, fair and focused on writers who want a better system for long-form fiction.

Folian is not being built as a one-click book generator or a high-volume content tool. It is being built for authors who care about manuscript structure, story memory, canon, style and control.

Built around bring-your-own AI keys

Folian is designed around a bring-your-own AI keys model.

That means Folian does not need to bundle expensive AI usage into every plan.

Instead, writers can connect their own supported AI provider, such as OpenAI or Claude, and manage usage directly through that provider.

This keeps the Folian product focused on the writing system itself: the manuscript, story bible, canon, planning, style and long-form workflow.

Folian gives the story a structure. Your AI provider gives it the model.

Why this helps keep pricing clearer

AI usage can vary a lot between writers.

One person may use AI lightly for brainstorming and revision notes. Another may use it heavily across chapters, style analysis, outlines and story bible summaries.

If all usage is bundled into one plan, some writers end up paying for usage they do not need while others quickly hit limits.

Bring-your-own keys keeps that relationship clearer.

You pay Folian for the writing system.

You manage AI usage with your chosen provider.

That gives writers more control over cost, model choice and how AI fits into their process.

What Folian is being built to include

Folian is being developed as a writing OS for long-form fiction, with tools to support the full creative project rather than only the draft.

Core areas include:

Manuscript workspace.
Story bible.
Character records.
Location records.
Lore and worldbuilding.
Canon management.
Planning workspace.
Style profiles.
AI provider settings.
Export workflows.

The goal is to help writers keep the book together as it grows.

Founder access

Early writers will help shape the product.

Founder access is intended for writers who want to test Folian on real writing projects, give feedback and help define what a serious AI-assisted writing system should become.

Folian is especially suited to writers working on novels, series, fantasy worlds, long-form fiction or projects where continuity and style matter.

If that sounds like the kind of writing you do, join the waitlist.

What Folian is not

Folian is not a one-click novel generator.

It is not a promise that AI can replace the writer, and it is not a generic chat interface with a writing label attached.

Folian is a structured workspace for authors who want AI support without losing control of the story.

The writer still decides what belongs in the book, still owns the voice and still has their name on the cover.
