What it costs

No subscriptions. You pay for audiobook narration in credits, and the platform keeps a fee when a book sells — that's the whole model.

Writing tools (Rewrite, Listen, Dictate, cover generation) Free for your first book
Editorial review and your EPUB Free, always
Publishing to the Uplit app Free, always
Audiobook narration ≈A$0.30 per 1,000 characters
(about A$120 for a 70,000-word novel)
When your book sells Uplit keeps a 10% fee

Free credits, explained

Your first book is on us

Credits are Uplit's spend unit — 1 credit = A$1. Bonus credits (free, earned as you go) cover the writing tools; audiobook narration draws from purchased credits. Sign up, write, submit and publish — that's up to 100 free bonus credits earned along the way:

  • 15 the moment you sign up — for Rewrite, Listen, Dictation and cover generation
  • +15 when you submit your first chapter
  • +20 each time you send a book to review
  • +50 every time one of your books goes live

Keep going: after three published books, the writing tools become free for good — 150 bonus credits refresh every month. Audiobook narration always uses purchased credits, at the rate above.
