another useless AI machine. Sory but i can not write something else. You give the text, just change the words, is this considered writing assistant? Thank i understood it in free use and i did not pay for that.

This tool is so good it is almost scary. When It was coming up with character descriptions, it was completely spot on, even without giving it much information. Great for refining writing. reccomend the muse model

Tried the free trial, ran out after having it try to rephrase a section twice. It would make it more wordy with more cliche and cheesy prose. I got better suggestions from ChatGPT and Deepseek. I don't know if Muse is better without Sudo, but it's hard to imagine it's any worse.

Thieves! Signed up for the Pro. Didn't use it much. Wiped all my credits at the end of the month. Stayed. Same thing happened next month. 2 million credits stolen!
I paid for those credits, but if you don't use them all by the end of the month they steal them from you, and you are forced to pay again... such a scam!

After joining at the free tier I began getting "Hey author, let me help you..." spam daily. I haven't even had time to look at their site, but I have zero faith that my work won't get sold like my email has.

Editing because, having signed up via a link which said I got 1,000,000 credits, I didn't notice I only had 10,000 credits which was the free trial amount, because apparently I can't count zeroes. After that I did get enough credits to actually play with some of the functions. It seems like credits go far enough.
I'm still not very impressed, the ai is not so good and the feedback function still seems to only read a scene at a time. Unless I paste every scene into one document, 'feedback' will ask me who characters are or tell me the story ends abruptly (obvs, it's a scene).

The suggestions are usually worse than my own writing which is an impressive feat. It suggests a lot of filler words and uses a lot of repeating words and purple prose. It's saved somewhat by the user made plugins, which while still touch and go do at least provide some usable suggestions and feedback. It seems to work best when you use multiple plugins and look for commonalities in feedback and suggestions.

I'd really like a desktop app, and an easier way to make the feedback function read the whole manuscript if it exists.

The app works well, it's reasonably priced and fun to use. But the writing is pretty horrible. I uploaded a rough draft of one of my ongoing novels just for kicks to see if it would spark some more dialogue ideas, and it's just bland and cliche'd. More like how not to write. But I do like how it breaks down the chapters and organizes the world building, character profiles, etc...if something like this would merge with Scrivener for the organization alone, it would be heaven....

I signed up for Sudowrite over two years ago. They had several admitted glitches but they gave word credits (they went by word back then) to make up for it. Then, they switched over to just credits.

After that, the system was glitchy all the time. Including I would click for it to write beats, but it wouldn't. It said it did. It took credits like it did but nothing happened.

I wrote to Support, repeatedly, sending screen shots and was primarily ignored. Twice, someone said they checked it out and everything worked fine.

I paid over $200 for those two years, plus I had bought extra credits (over 1M) for about $50. So, all in all, close to $300.

Never once did I get any satisfactory writing done on their site after the initial try out. Just to be sure of what I was experiencing, I went onto different computers, different browsers. No mater what I did, my entire account was screwy.

When I told them I would not sign up again until all these problems were addressed in a satisfactory manner they told me I could still have access to and use my credits to write but I would not be able to use some of the fancier functions ("fancier functions" my term, not theirs).

It was a lie. I got a notice, when I tried to do just that, which told me I could not do any writing on that site without paying for a plan. Including that I could not access the credits I paid extra for.

I chatted with their AI "help" and it told me that they do not give refunds. So, basically, they stole near $300 from me while wasting two years of my life.

They do not make writing fun again, or whatever they say. They make it a terrible, heartbreaking, joyless burden and needless expense.

The concept was nice. Af first, it seemed promising. The actual use is a Orwellian nightmare.

Great App, but too expensive for what they give you. I decided to buy a month to test it out in October. I also cancelled my account in October, but they've tried to charge me for November and December. Luckily, I was smart enough to use a secondary account that I can fund independently when testing out these services due to companies like this being unscrupulous.

It says that my account will end in December 16, so I'll update if they try to charge me again.

Edit: Not even an hour after I posted this, they tried to charge me again in the same day.

The Story Bible is so convoluted that it is nearly impossible to use. What it does is burn credits. As far as I can see that is the only purpose for that application.

Thieves! Signed up for the Pro. Didn't use it much. Wiped all my credits at the end of the month. Stayed. Same thing happened next month. 2 million credits stolen.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. I tried to cancel subscription, they send no confirmation and then bill you anyway when renewal is due. They do not respond to multiple emails disputing the charge. To make matters worse, they don't allow you to delete your card details from their site, so I had to cancel my card so they don't charge again at their discretion! Just don't with this scam.

I have asked his site several times whether their AI is Artificial General Intelligence, and whether our work is used to improve itself. Yet I have not received a reply.

As a creator, I want to know my work is mine, even if I am only using this site to improve my (already fully created) works. Their Terms and Conditions are vague and ambiguous, at best, and the fact they refuse to reply to personal emails asking important intellectual property questions is disturbing and makes me suspicious, as it should make anyone. Their Terms and Conditions, which outline their the agreement, states:

"This Agreement does not transfer to you any intellectual property owned by the Operator or third parties, and all rights, titles, and interests in and to such property will remain (as between the parties) solely with the Operator."

However, it does not clearly define what is classes at its IP. If I am inputting my work, then it should not become theirs because I have used their website to aid or help me improve my work. That work is still mine, yet their terms do not say this.

Although I only use this service for my previously created work, I would suggest Sudowrties' terms are even more worrisome if you do not create the work beforehand. Why, as a service provider, can't you clarify 'clearly' that the works produced belong to the receiver/consumer? Whether reworked with Sudowrites' help or paid for by a consumer, it should belong to the customer who spends all the hours making the changes needed. After all, that's what they're paying for. So, why not make this clear in your Terms and Conditions?

Sudowrites appear to check Trustpilot to guide itself in its improvements, yet, as usual, it fails to reply to its consumers. This says a lot about any company looking to build trust and confidence with its customers.

Sudowrite is a scam that did not pay me referral commission. A project you should not waste money on foolishly.
I removed this review when I received Sudowrite's commission payment!

What an amazing tool. Whoever has designed this really understands the writing process. There are lots of AI tools around now, and many of them are superb at producing high quality writing for business, etc, but nothing compares to Sudowrite when it comes to writing, editing and improving fiction writing. It is an absolutely pleasure to use, and has helped me to take my writing to the next level. It is like having a writing partner sat next to you, who you can turn to whenever you can't find the write word to use, or how to say what you want to say. But it goes further. It is superb and offering some assistance when you hit writer's block, and the story feature is amazing at helping to flesh out a whole novel, story arcs, and beats.

My only regret is that I wish I had more than 90,000 words a month, but can't afford to jump to the next level.

Trust me when I say it is a fiction writer's best friend. Highly recommended.
