Folio is a strong fit whenThe manuscript still needs structure, revision, and a finish line.
Use the persistent book workspace when the outcome is a real guide, authority book, training manual, client asset, or exportable edition.
Consider another tool whenYou only need one narrow part of the publishing job.
If your manuscript is already finished and you only need specialist formatting or a dedicated fiction system, a focused tool may be the simpler choice.
What does each Gixo Folio plan include?
Choose the paid plan that matches the manuscript and export requirements.
Book workspace
Write or import inside Folio
Start with a Word or Markdown manuscript or a new project, then keep every chapter in one workspace.
AI drafting
Chapters drafted from your outline
Plans add AI chapter drafting with continuity across the book — 10 per month on Author, 50 on Pro.
Review
Revise and finalize before export
Review chapters in the workspace and confirm the manuscript is complete before triggering final export.
Export
Keep access to your manuscript
Import, plan, and manually write without a subscription. Manuscripts containing only your imported or manually written chapters can be exported free. Current or historical paid Folio access preserves eligible manuscript exports after cancellation. New AI chapter drafting requires an active plan; Pro-only formats and edition entitlements remain separate.
Editions
One-time add-ons per book
Audiobook and international editions across 89 locale variants remain add-ons after the source manuscript is ready.
Collaboration
Lightweight review support
Folio stays intentionally single-owner for billing and generation; comments and review notes help with lightweight feedback.
How does Gixo Folio pricing work in practice?
The plan maps to the months you are drafting — nothing more.
1
Start with your manuscript
Import or manually write without a subscription. Decide whether you need AI chapter drafting before choosing Author or Pro.
2
Subscribe while drafting
Add Folio Author when you want AI to draft chapters; upgrade to Pro for heavier months.
3
Revise until the book is ready
Review each chapter in the workspace until the manuscript reaches a genuinely final state.
4
Export and keep your files
Cancel when you no longer need AI chapter drafting. Eligible manuscript exports remain available; check Pro-format and edition entitlements separately.
What does Gixo Folio pricing include?
Both paid plans are monthly with no annual lock-in. Cancel and return anytime.
| Plan | Monthly price | AI-drafted chapters | Export formats | Editions (audiobook/international) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author-owned workspace | Free | No AI chapter drafting | Entirely imported or manually written manuscripts | Edition add-ons separate |
| Folio Author | $19/mo | 10 per month | EPUB, editable DOCX, chapter PDF, HTML, Markdown | One-time add-ons, $99-$299 depending on finished length |
| Folio Pro | $99/mo | 50 per month | Everything in Author plus white-label and SCORM | One edition included monthly, then $99-$299 depending on finished length |
| Retired plan | $349 one-time (discontinued) | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Why monthly instead of a one-time pass
Pricing that expects you to leave
Book writing is episodic: you draft intensely for a few months, ship, and stop. Folio prices for that reality — subscribe while you draft, export when ready, cancel when you ship, and come back for the next book.
The previous $349 publishing pass has been retired in favor of this model.
Choose the right plan
Match the plan to the manuscript
Author is suited to a focused book project; Pro is suited to heavier drafting, serial authors, ghostwriters, white-label delivery, and SCORM export.
Both are built around the same complete book workflow and can be cancelled when the project ships.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Gixo Folio cost?
Folio Author is $19/mo with 10 AI-drafted chapters per month; Folio Pro is $99/mo with 50. Both are monthly with no annual lock-in and include the paid book workflow.
Can I really just cancel when my book is done?
Yes. Eligible manuscript exports remain available after a paid Folio subscription ends. You need an active plan for new AI chapter drafting; Pro-only formats and editions have separate entitlements.
Can I start and export without a subscription?
Import, plan, and manually write without a subscription. Manuscripts containing only your imported or manually written chapters can be exported free. Current or historical paid Folio access preserves eligible manuscript exports after cancellation. New AI chapter drafting requires an active plan; Pro-only formats and edition entitlements remain separate.
What happened to the $349 publishing pass?
It was retired. Folio now uses monthly Author and Pro plans so the cost maps to the active book project.
What export formats are included?
Paid Folio plans support EPUB, editable DOCX, chapter PDF, HTML, and Markdown export. Folio Pro adds SCORM and white-label export.
Are international editions included?
Folio Pro includes one edition — audiobook or translation — every month. Otherwise, editions across 89 locale variants are one-time add-ons per book, available with or without a plan.
Can teams collaborate on a Books project?
Folio is intentionally not a multi-seat publishing workflow. Use it for solo-owned manuscripts with lightweight review notes, not shared billing, assignment queues, or publisher operations.
Is there a one-time Gixo Folio publishing pass?
No. Gixo Folio used to sell a $349 one-time publishing pass, but that was retired. Pricing is now monthly only: Folio Author ($19/mo) or Folio Pro ($99/mo) cover the active book workflow.
How much does Gixo Folio pricing cost per book?
Your AI drafting cost is the monthly rate multiplied by paid months, plus any edition add-ons. For example, two months of Author cost $38 before taxes or add-ons, with 10 AI-drafted chapters per month. This is a budget example, not a typical completion time. Importing and manually writing your own book can stay free.
