Trial, purchase and access

YourBook is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It buys you a year of writing access and one printed copy of your book. Before that, everyone gets a 7-day free trial with full access to write.

For the current price and what's included, see the pricing details on our home page.

What you'll see at each stage

• New account. You can create your first book. Doing so starts the trial automatically.
• Trial (7 days). Full access to write. Home shows a banner offering the purchase, with a Get Now button.
• Purchased. A year of access plus one print credit. Home shows "N days left to write your book". In the final 30 days you'll see a Renew Now offer for another year of writing and one more printed copy.
• Expired. Every screen leads to "Your access has ended", with Get Your Book – $99, Redeem a Gift Code and Sign out. Your story and your book are kept. Writing resumes the moment you purchase.

The Billing page

Open it from Account → Billing. It shows your current status, the date your trial ends or your access runs until, your print credits, and the actions:

• Get Your Book — $99
• Extend Your Access
• Restore Purchases, for a reinstall or a new device. On your phone, purchases go through the App Store or Google Play. On the web, checkout is through Paddle.

If a purchase isn't showing up, see My purchase isn't showing after a reinstall.
