Unlimited Guidance
Unlimited guidance · No credit cap
Unlimited document-specific guidance, all export options, full InkTrail and TrailMap access.
Reviewer-Ready Accountability
Unlimited guidance · Reviewer-ready attestation
Everything in Premium, plus reviewer-ready attestation reports and guidance shaped for your field.
One paper. One record. Upload your prior drafts, disclose any ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini transcripts you used, and run your writing through InkTrail — then export a single signed, tamper-evident Authorship Packet PDF. No subscription, no auto-renew. Includes 15 guidance credits for that project.
Guidance credits are how RedInkAI measures usage on the Free plan. Each time you ask for document-specific guidance (a structure question, a pacing check, a clarity review) that uses one credit. You start with 25 free credits — enough to take one full essay or paper from blank page to a finished, attestable artifact. Premium and Professional plans include unlimited guidance.
An Authorship Packet is a project-level record you can share or export. It combines your live InkTrail — every question you asked, every decision you made inside RedInkAI — with any prior drafts and external AI transcripts you chose to disclose. Each imported material is content-fingerprinted at upload and logged on the InkTrail with an honest evidentiary-weight label (Pre-InkTrail, Concurrent, Post-InkTrail, or External AI — user-reported). The packet surfaces the provenance transparently. It is available on every plan, including Free.
There is a one-time $10 "Attest One Paper" option on this page. No subscription, no auto-renew. You get 15 guidance credits for that one project plus a signed, verifiable attestation PDF — enough to defend a single essay, thesis, or flagged paper. If you decide to keep writing with RedInkAI afterward, the monthly plans are there when you want them.
Yes. You can switch to annual billing at any time from your Settings page. Your remaining monthly balance will be prorated.
You can purchase credit packs ($50 for 10, $100 for 25) or upgrade to Premium for unlimited guidance.
No. All templates are available on every plan, including Free. Professional adds formal attestation reports, reviewer-ready exports, and deeper guidance shaped for your field.
Attestation is a formal, exportable report of how you wrote something. It bundles your audit trail, an AI-vs-you contribution breakdown, and a signed line suitable for legal, academic, or regulatory review — the kind of thing you hand to a professor, editor, agent, board, or reviewer when they want proof, not a promise.
Absolutely. The Free plan gives you 25 guidance credits — enough to take a full essay, paper, or chapter from blank page to a finished, attestable artifact. Full access to the editor, all templates, and InkTrail. No credit card required.
The Student plan is ≈50% off Premium ($15/mo or $145/yr) and unlocks everything in Premium. After you sign up, we verify your .edu email — undergraduate, graduate, and thesis writers are all eligible. If your school uses a non-.edu domain (some international institutions do), email redinkaistudio@redinkai.com and we will verify manually. Honor system: if you graduate, the plan drops to Premium pricing at your next renewal.
Because AI detectors get it wrong, and you cannot argue with an output. Turnitin's AI indicator has false-positive rates well above 10% on ordinary prose, and the number you have to defend against is always the number they give your professor — not the number the paper actually is. RedInkAI gives you a verifiable, independently auditable record of your process. When a detector flags a paper you wrote, you have receipts in 30 seconds, not a panic-attack explanation email.
