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, cancel when you ship, and come back for the next book. A typical book costs one to three months of Author, usually less than the one-time passes this product used to sell.

The previous $349 publishing pass has been retired in favour of this model.

Who should not subscribe
Do not pay for what is already free

If you are writing every word yourself or importing a finished manuscript for formatting and export, you do not need a plan at all. The free studio covers writing, import, organization, and export — plans only add AI drafting and the white-label extras.

That boundary is deliberate, and it is why the free tier has no time limit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Gixo Folio cost?
Writing, importing, and exporting are free. Folio Author is $29/mo with 10 AI-drafted chapters per month; Folio Pro is $99/mo with 50. Both are monthly — there is no annual plan and no one-time pass.
Can I really just cancel when my book is done?
Yes — that is the intended use. Cancellation is self-serve, your books stay in the free studio, and you can re-subscribe for your next book in one click.
What happened to the $349 publishing pass?
It was retired. A book typically takes one to three months of Folio Author to draft, which costs less than the old pass — and the writing studio itself is now free.
What export formats are included?
The Books workflow supports PDF, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, and SCORM export. Free-studio exports include a small Gixo page; any plan removes it.
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?
Yes. Shared Studio workspaces allow multiple team members to access the same manuscript for review and export.
