Closed beta · everything unlocked · nothing billed
Readers never pay. Authors publish for free, forever, and pay only for the launch tools: early copies, protected delivery, the readers who come with them. Books are never a limit.
One place instead of BookFunnel, BookSprout and your ARC form: delivery links, advance-copy campaigns and the applications that come in.
Readers never pay. There is no reader tier, not now, not later. What a reader gets
Beta, today
Payments are off. Every author has every capability, there is no checkout and no card anywhere, and authors who join in the beta keep the founding price of Creator and Pro for twelve months from the day their trial starts.

A campaign brings readers matched to the book; a delivery link, a letter and a sample reach the people you already had.

Limits are the plan table's and the gates use the same numbers; readers have no plan to pick.
One launch, no plan
For the author with one book to launch. One advance-copy campaign with up to 100 readers, valid for 60 days from the day you buy it. A campaign still running when the 60 days end is paused; readers keep the copies they have. Delivery links, reader requirements, held reviews and cross-post tracking come with Creator, not with the pass. Nothing renews; when the campaign completes, the pass is spent. You keep every reader, review and follower.
$12 once · 60 days from purchase · one campaign
14 days with a card on file, and it starts with your first paid action, not at signup. Opening a campaign, creating a delivery link, sending a full letter by email or publishing a sample for your followers starts the clock. One card, one person: a card starts one trial, ever. Beta accounts keep the founding price of Creator and Pro for twelve months from the day their trial starts.

Every number is the plan table's (the same one the product measures an account against); a check is a capability the plan carries.
The limits are about early copies and the people who help run them. Nothing about writing, publishing or being read is metered.
The honest bit
No ads, no pay-to-rank, no selling reader data. Here's the whole model.
Reading is the product, not the paywall. Every reader capability is free and always will be. The platform is funded by authors, never by locking books away.
Tiers unlock more campaigns, deeper analytics and larger ARC programs. The work of running launches. They never buy a higher ranking; placement isn't for sale.
No promoted slots, no pay-to-rank, anywhere. A book climbs because people genuinely finished and reviewed it, which is the whole reason the ranking is worth anything.
Questions
No. Payments are switched off across the whole product while we are in closed beta. There is no checkout, no card form, and no way to be charged. Every author capability is unlocked.
No. There is no reader tier and never will be. Reading, shelves, reviews, following, ARC access, Wraps, insights, goals, smart shelves and Profile Studio are all included in every reader account, permanently, with no ads and no selling of your data.
One card, one person: a $0 hold stops one person starting a trial after another, and we charge nothing until day 14. You are told on day 11 and can cancel in one step.
Yes. Books, series, the Journal, followers and reviews are never limited on any plan. The free plan runs one small advance-copy campaign at a time, up to 25 readers in it, with no delivery links; a "See plans" card sits where more would be.
With your first paid action, not when you sign up. Today that means opening a campaign, creating a delivery link, sending a full letter by email or publishing a sample for your followers.
One advance-copy campaign with up to 100 readers, $12 once, valid for 60 days from the day you buy it. A campaign still running when the 60 days end is paused; readers keep the copies they have. Delivery links, reader requirements, held reviews and cross-post tracking come with Creator, not with the pass. No subscription starts and nothing renews. For the author with one book to launch.
Every reader who gets a copy from that campaign: an approval, a campaign copy the reader took or a giveaway winner. Pro campaigns have no cap. A copy claimed from a delivery link is not a campaign's reader: a link has its own limit of copies.
You do. A reader who follows you can also choose to receive your letters by email; they tick one box that says "The author can export your email address". Export those subscribers as a CSV from Studio, on every plan, once an hour for each pen name: the address, the day they subscribed, and the exact words they agreed to. Followers who did not tick the box are never exported, and an unsubscribe in one letter takes them out of the export from then on.
Yes, from Settings, in one click. You keep paid features until the end of the period you have paid for, then continue on the free Author plan. Upgrades apply at once and charge only the difference.
Your plan keeps working for seven days while the card is retried, and we tell you in the product and by email. After that, paid features pause and your account moves to the free Author plan.
Nothing. Books and series are never set aside. A campaign, pen name or collaborator beyond the lower plan's allowance is set aside: hidden from readers, kept, and restored the moment a plan fits.
Yearly, by invoice, on the imprint's own account, with five seats included. Talk to us and we set the imprint up with you.
Your list is yours. Your subscribers' addresses export as a CSV, on every plan. The free data export, under Settings › Privacy, carries your profile, pen names, catalog, series, your Journal entries and letters as you wrote them, your campaigns, and your decisions on applications. A review is its reader's, not yours: it leaves in their export, and it goes if they delete it.
No. Booklabria is not a store; there is no checkout for books here. Plans and the pass are flat prices for the launch and audience tools.
