About pricing
What does the 30-day money-back guarantee cover?
All subscriptions include a 30-day money-back guarantee from the first paid charge, as long as you haven't already exported your manuscripts via Publishing Studio or the library archive. Once you export, the subscription's value has been delivered and the guarantee no longer applies — that honest carveout is what keeps trial pricing sustainable.
What do the Grove tier names (Quill / Folio / Verse / Chronicle) mean?
They're the engines behind Grove, from lightest to heaviest. Higher subscription tiers route deeper editorial work (chapter reviews, full-book story doctor, cross-book consistency) to the stronger engines. You never pick a model or manage routing — we match the right engine to every task automatically.
Do my royalties go through Scribegrove?
No. Publishing Studio generates artifacts; you submit to publishers yourself via their portals. Royalties go directly from publishers to you. We don't take a cut of your book sales, ever.
What happens if I forget my password?
Use the standard “forgot password” link — we email you a reset link, you pick a new password, and your books unlock automatically with the new one. Nothing to lose, no code to save. Same flow you already know from every other site.
Can you handle spicy / explicit content?
Yes, honestly. Set your book's Spice rating (1-5) and Grove honors it strictly — at the rating you set, without escalating and without sanitizing. Explicit content routes only through model paths that support it contractually. No silent shadow-bans, no awkward refusals.
Can I upgrade or downgrade tiers later?
Yes. Upgrade at any time — prorated charge. Downgrade ends the current cycle and switches at renewal.
How many devices can I use?
As many as you like. Scribegrove runs in the browser, so your library follows your account — laptop at the desk, tablet on the sofa, phone on the train. No activations to manage.
