Overview

About Sudowrite

Key Takeaways

  • Sudowrite is an AI writing partner built only for fiction, with its own in-house fiction models (Muse and Ballad) plus 30+ big-name AI models.
  • It covers both sides of the shelf: clean genre fiction and 18+ adult fiction, with an official adult prompt generator to prove it.
  • Plans start at $10/month billed yearly, after a free trial with no card needed.
  • There are iOS and Android apps with Smart Dictation, so you can talk your scenes out on the go.
  • Sudowrite doesn't train AI models on your writing and claims no rights over your words.
  • New users can grab 200,000 bonus credits through our exclusive link.

What is NovelAI?

Sudowrite is an AI writer for novelists and fiction writers. Its own pitch sums it up: a non-judgemental writing partner that helps you get from blank page to finished draft.

Its tools include Write, Describe, Expand, Rewrite, Brainstorm, Story Bible and Canvas. Story Bible walks you from idea to outline to chapters, all in your own style.

It works for sweet YA-style fantasy, dark thrillers, and spicy romance with the door wide open. Write on the web, or dictate scenes into the mobile app when inspiration hits in bed.

What does NovelAI cost?

Sudowrite starts with a free trial that needs no credit card. After that it's a subscription with a monthly credit allowance, and credits get used every time the AI writes, rewrites or gives feedback.

Paying yearly on the website saves up to 50%. Professional and Max add developmental edits, line edits and AI beta reads, and Max lets unused credits roll over for 12 months. Subscribe on the website rather than in the app, because App Store prices are higher.

Privacy & Data

Sudowrite is one of the safer homes for unpublished manuscripts, spicy ones included.

  • Your writing isn't used to train AI models, according to Sudowrite's FAQ.
  • Sudowrite claims no rights over anything you write or anything it generates for you.
  • Your projects sync between the web and the mobile apps, and you keep access to them even after you cancel. You just lose the AI tools.
  • Your text is processed by in-house and third-party models, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI models.
  • You can ask for your data to be deleted by emailing hi@sudowrite.com. There's no self-serve delete button listed.
  • The website privacy policy was last updated in 2020, so it's a bit dated.

Content & Safety

Sudowrite is happy with adult fiction, but it's a writing desk, not a sex chat app.

  • Built for SFW and NSFW fiction: romance, erotica, fantasy, horror, thrillers and fan-fiction.
  • There's an official Adult Content (18+) prompt generator for spicy story ideas.
  • Sudowrite's team says it aims to be as permissive as possible and has a big community writing erotica and taboo fiction, though some users report the odd unexplained block.
  • You must be 18+ to use it.
  • Banned: sexual content involving minors, harassment, plagiarism, anything illegal, and political content.
  • The terms also ban "obscene" use without defining it, so extreme stuff may get pushback.
Best for: Novelists writing anything from clean fantasy to open-door romance and adult fiction.

Final verdict

Sudowrite is the AI co-writer serious fiction writers actually stick with, spicy or not. It writes in your voice, keeps a series straight and never blushes at your sex scenes, on desktop or your phone. Just don't expect an AI girlfriend to flirt back.

Not ideal for: People after NSFW chat, role-play bots or AI companions.
