Pay once for the book.

Buy a report, upload your manuscript (up to 150,000 words for the Full Manuscript Report), and receive a complete editorial report with tiered findings, charts, and a five-wave revision plan. No subscription and no recurring charge. The credits stay on your account until you use them.

Yes. Credits are a single balance on your account, they never expire, and any manuscript can draw on them. Cost depends on length and model: a piece under 10,000 words costs 1 credit on a fast model or 2 on a balanced model, so credits left after a novel can go toward short stories, essays, or a second pass on a revised draft.

The Short Story Pack ($49) gives you 24 credits: a separate report for up to 12 stories or essays under 10,000 words each on a balanced model, or up to 24 on a fast model, with no subscription. If you have just a few pieces, the Short Work Report ($19, 6 credits) covers 3 to 6. You can also upload a collection as one manuscript, though the report will then read it as a single work.

Yes, anytime. When you upgrade, you get immediate access to the new plan. When you downgrade, you keep your current plan's features until the end of the billing period. Charges are prorated.

Any text you upload or paste for analysis, up to your plan's word limit per analysis. A single manuscript can be analyzed more than once; each analysis uses credits.

You keep full access to your current plan until the end of your billing period. After that, your account reverts to the free tier. Your manuscripts and past analyses remain accessible.

Sometimes, yes. Every analysis adapts its criteria to your genre, and paid reports let you tell the editor whether to enforce craft conventions or respect deliberate rule-breaking. Every finding quotes the passage it is about, and each quote is checked against your manuscript text. Near misses are corrected to the real wording. The AI can still misread context or intent, so treat each finding as a note to weigh, not a verdict. Every report also ends with a log of things the editor considered flagging but judged deliberate.

Your manuscripts are not used to train AI models. With our keys, providers process text under API terms that exclude training; with your own key, your agreement with that provider applies. We don't read your manuscripts. Text is sent over TLS and stored encrypted at rest (AES-256) by our database and file-storage providers. Delete a manuscript or your account at any time, and it is permanently removed from our systems within 30 days.

No. Galleys is the pass before beta readers or a human editor. It helps you find and order the big problems so the people you rely on later see a cleaner draft. It is not a substitute for an experienced editor's judgment.

Every one-time report and first subscription payment is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Email [email protected] within 30 days of purchase; the terms page has the details. Checkout is handled by Stripe, and we never see your card details.

No. When you use your own API keys (BYOK), analyses are unlimited on Author, Professional, and Studio plans, and you get access to premium models like Claude Opus. You pay the AI provider directly for token usage.
