Plans & features
Scribe uses Free, Plus, and Pro plans. The plan shown in Scribe determines which editing, export, and advanced publishing tools are available.
To review or change a plan, sign in to Account Billing. If Scribe and Scroll are both part of your workflow, also review Writing Suite. For how plans appear across the website and both apps, see Plans & Access.

Change the plan shown in Scribe
- At the bottom of Scribe's left sidebar, open Account.
- Choose Manage, or open Account Billing directly.
- Review the Scribe or Writing Suite plan and complete the requested steps.
- Return to Scribe, open Account, and choose Refresh subscription.
Changing plans does not delete local Project folders. If the current plan does not include a tool, the corresponding editing or export action becomes unavailable; the local Project remains available. Back up important Projects before making subscription or application changes.
