How much does Gixo Folio book writing software cost?
Folio Author is $19/mo and Folio Pro is $99/mo, monthly with no annual lock-in, for eligible AI drafting and assistance. Import and manual writing are available without a subscription. Own-book downloads and proofs need no active plan; translation and audio have separate edition conditions.
What is the difference between Folio Author and Folio Pro?
Author ($19/mo) and Pro ($99/mo) differ in AI drafting capacity and included edition conditions. Pro includes an audiobook or translation under the displayed terms. Own-book download formats, including static SCORM, do not require an active plan.
Is there a free Gixo Folio plan or a one-time publishing pass?
A free manuscript workspace supports import and manual writing; AI planning has separate available-capacity conditions. Author ($19/mo) and Pro ($99/mo) are monthly AI chapter plans; there is no one-time publishing pass. Your own book downloads and proofs are available without an active subscription. New AI work and paid edition services remain separate.
What export formats does Gixo Folio support?
Your own book downloads as reflowable EPUB 3, editable DOCX, full-book print or selected-chapter PDF, HTML, Markdown or static SCORM 1.2 without an active subscription. Inspect the actual output and measured preflight; files are not guaranteed retailer acceptance.
What does a single book actually cost on Folio?
Multiply the current monthly plan price by your paid months, then add any separately purchased editions, editing or design. One to three paid months of Author would cost $19 to $57 before taxes or add-ons; this is a budget illustration, not a typical completion time. Manual writing and own-book downloads can remain free.
Are audiobook and international editions included?
Folio Pro includes an audiobook or translation under the displayed billing-period conditions. Separate edition purchases use the finished-length price range $99-$299 depending on finished length. Translation locale support and native narration voice availability differ; inspect the preview, access and purchase conditions before creating an edition.
Does Gixo Folio publish my book for me?
No. Folio prepares downloadable book files; it does not publish them to a retailer, provide human copyediting, or guarantee publishing or commercial outcomes. The author or editor still owns factual review, voice, continuity, rights, cover decisions, and metadata.
Does Gixo Folio check my manuscript for consistency before export?
Yes. The manuscript consistency audit combines deterministic whole-book checks with bounded AI review. Focused developmental, copy, factual, continuity and production passes also retain reading coverage, quoted findings and decisions. Factual review compares bounded manuscript/source passages; these advisory checks can miss errors and changed inputs can make findings stale.
Can Folio export a print-ready book PDF?
Yes. Export a full-book print interior PDF with standard or custom trim, mirrored margins, optional bleed, running headers and page numbers, plus a separate paperback wrap-cover PDF derived from its rendered page count and paper setting. Inspect measured page and figure warnings. The PDF is RGB, not CMYK or PDF/X, and preflight does not certify retailer acceptance.
