Pricing · the honest version

Free. All of it.

Every feature, free. Not a trial, not a teaser, not a stripped-down version with the good parts locked off. DraftFolk runs on the folk who choose to chip in £7 a month. If that’s you, thank you. If it isn’t, the door is exactly as open.

Everything. No catch.

Supporter

£7/ month
or £70 / year (two months on us)

DraftFolk costs real money to run: the servers, the upkeep, the bills. Supporters cover it so the whole thing stays free for everyone else. You don't get more features, because there are no more features. You get a supporter mark and our genuine thanks.

  • Everything in Just folk, which is everything
  • A supporter mark on your profile
  • Early access to new features
  • A say in what we build next
Cancel any time. You keep everything either way.
Your words stay yours

Your manuscript is yours, fully. We will never train on it, sell it, or feed it to anything. Written into our charter.

30-day refund

First 30 days, no questions. Email refunds@draftfolk.com, get your money back the same week. Whatever you wrote stays yours.

If we shut down

The Writing Room source goes open-source. You can run it yourself, or someone else can. Your manuscript exports cleanly to .md and .txt at any tier.

Plain answers

Asked, answered.

No. Your manuscript is encrypted, stored locally first, and never leaves your machine without you sending it.
