Plan Comparison

Welcome credits100 (one-time)
Monthly Credits15 credits500 credits
Quill AI access✅ Full access✅ Full access
Priority Support
All core screenplay features (writing, formatting, import/export, printing) are unlimited on both plans. The difference is in the Quill AI monthly credit allotment.

Free Plan

What’s Included

100 welcome credits the day you sign up — plenty to explore Quill across a handful of substantive conversations. 15 credits/month thereafter, on the 1st of each month. Credits don’t roll over, but the welcome bonus is separate and stays in your account until you use it. Full Quill AI access — same model and capabilities as Pro. The Free plan just has a smaller monthly credit budget. Script Features (unlimited):
  • Industry-standard formatting
  • Auto-save & version history
  • Import/export (PDF, Fountain, FDX)
  • Print to PDF
  • All themes & customization
  • Project Panel (navigation, characters, logline)

Best For

  • Trying out Inkwell
  • Occasional AI assistance
  • Hobbyist screenwriters
  • Students and beginners

Pro Plan

What’s Included

500 credits/month on the Pro plan. Enough budget for several substantive Quill conversations most days through a typical writing month, with room for the occasional heavy revision pass. See inkwell.app/pricing for subscription pricing. Full Quill AI access — Quill picks the best model server-side; there’s no picker to navigate. Priority Support:
  • Faster response times
  • Priority bug fixes
  • Feature request consideration

Best For

  • Professional screenwriters
  • Frequent Quill AI users
  • Writers with multiple projects
  • Anyone who runs out of Free credits regularly
