Pricing
Updated September 13, 2026 · By LiveNovel
LiveNovel has three kinds of access: a free tier to start, a Pass that unlocks fuller use, and credits that pay for generation such as images and voices. Exact current prices are shown in Studio, because plans and payment options are updated there rather than hard-coded on this page.
Can I start for free?
You can begin without paying: try characters, play scenes, and see how the roleplay and novel flow works before deciding on anything.
What does the LiveNovel Pass unlock?
The Pass unlocks fuller access for regular use. It is the main way to move beyond the free tier.
What are credits used for?
Credits pay for generation — things like avatars, illustrations and audio. You top up credits and spend them as you create.
Where can I see current plans?
Because pricing and payment methods change, the live prices, packs and payment options are shown in Studio.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the Pass cost?
Current prices are shown in Studio, where plans and payment options are kept up to date. Open Studio to see today's exact pricing.
What do I need credits for?
Credits cover generation such as avatars, illustrations and audio. Reading and basic play do not require the same spend.
Can I earn from novels I create?
Yes. If you list a novel in the marketplace, you keep the majority of each sale. Details are on the How it works page.
Which payment methods are supported?
Supported payment options are shown at checkout in Studio, since they are updated over time.
