Pricing Questions

What are credits and how do they work?
Credits are the currency you use on KDP Builder. Each AI action (research, writing, editing, design) costs a specific number of credits, shown before you confirm. You only pay for what you use — no surprises. Start with 20 free credits when you sign up.
How much does a complete book cost?
It depends on the book type and length. A typical non-fiction book (12 chapters, ~40K words) costs approximately 100-160 credits ($7-$11). Puzzle and low-content books can be as low as 25-45 credits ($2-$3). The pipeline shows exact costs before each phase.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every new account receives 20 free credits with no credit card required. That's enough to complete a puzzle book or start a non-fiction project through the first 3 phases (research, blueprint, and a chapter draft).
Do credits expire?
One-time credit packs never expire. Subscription credits roll over for 1 month. If you cancel your subscription, your remaining credits stay active until the end of the billing period.
Can I switch plans?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your subscription at any time. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. You can also buy one-time credit packs on top of any subscription.
How does KDP Builder compare to BookBolt pricing?
BookBolt charges $10-$24/month regardless of usage. KDP Builder uses pay-per-use credits, so you only pay when you create. A puzzle book costs ~$2.35 in credits vs. $24/month for BookBolt Pro. Plus, KDP Builder handles the entire pipeline — research, writing, editing, covers, and formatting — not just design templates.
