It brings a structured and easy to use AI writing interface.
In this review, you’ll see what Squibler actually does well, where it struggles, and how it fits into a writer’s workflow.

Squibler is a full writing environment built for books, screenplays, and long-form projects
You get access to:

- A built-in AI assistant (“Smart Writer” / AI Story Generator) that can generate entire scenes, summaries, or first drafts based on your prompts and structure.
Templates & flexibility across genres
One of Squibler’s strengths is versatility. You’re not limited to “just novels.” The template library includes:

- You can break your book into chapters or scenes and work piece-by-piece.
- Need to reorganize? Drag-and-drop to reorder chapters or scenes — no copy/paste chaos.

AI-powered drafting, rewriting and ideation help
Squibler’s built-in AI isn’t just a gimmick. It helps across different stages:
- Start from scratch: give it a short prompt or synopsis — it can generate a rough draft (book, essay, screenplay).
- Outline & structure: if you prefer planning first, the AI can help generate a full outline based on your concept.
- Writing assistance: from generating content to rewriting, to expanding or polishing scenes — it supports you at multiple levels.
Squibler Pricing
💡 Free version — a starter tier with limits
- Squibler offers a free “Limited” plan that gives you access to its core writing environment. That includes up to 6,000 AI-generated words per month, plus a few “extras” like limited image generation or simple project setup.
🔓 Pro plan — full access for serious writers
If you want unrestricted use, Squibler shifts to a subscription-based plan:
- The Pro plan is priced around US $16/month when billed annually.
- If you prefer monthly billing, cost is closer to US $29/month.
- With Pro, limitations disappear: you get unlimited AI-assisted writing (drafts, rewrites, full manuscripts, scene-by-scene generation) plus unlimited access to features such as export options, outline and template tools, planning board, and manuscript management.
My Personal Opinion & Experience
The biggest strength of Squibler is how flexible it is.
You can write:
- A non-fiction book
- A biography
- A screenplay
- A novel
- A short-form guide
- A long-form technical explanation
- A full manuscript in one go
Based on all ready-made templates.
I tested Squibler with a fiction idea just to see how it handled story logic. The AI can absolutely generate a full book in one go. .
On the impressive side:
- It understands book structure
- It formats chapters cleanly
- It organizes paragraphs logically
- It follows your outline reasonably well
But the prose is repetitive. Scenes echo the same patterns. And the longer the manuscript, the more noticeable the “AI fingerprints” become.
If you’re writing fiction seriously, you will need to:
- Rewrite large sections
- Enrich descriptions
- Repair continuity issues
- Fix pacing
- Add character nuance
- Remove predictable phrasing
And yes — that’s true of every AI writing tool. Squibler just tends to be more repetitive than fiction-focused alternatives.
Still, Squibler is fantastic for idea exploration. Want to see what your book might look like? Want to test a storyline quickly? Want a fast “vomit draft” so you’re no longer working from zero? Squibler handles that beautifully.
Non-fiction is where Squibler quietly shines
For non-fiction, I found Squibler much more helpful. The AI understands:
- How a chapter should flow
- How to present arguments in sequence
- How to structure a long-form explanation
- How to segment ideas into digestible sections
The ideas were generic (as expected) and the tone needed human warmth, but the structure was solid and the paragraphs flowed.
Squibler Best Alternatives
Here are several strong alternatives and when you might reach for them instead of—or in addition to—Squibler.
Sudowrite — Best for fiction writers who want strong prose and creative spark
- Sudowrite is often praised for its strength at creative prose generation, vivid descriptions, plot-twisting ideas, and narrative depth. It’s built with storytelling in mind, including features like scene-expansion, “what-if” brainstorming, rewriting and polishing tools.
- If your main goal is to write fiction — especially novels, short stories or creative narrative — and you care about how it sounds, Sudowrite usually produces more evocative, imaginative text than Squibler’s more utilitarian AI.
- Compared to Squibler, which tilts toward structure and format, Sudowrite acts more like a “creative-first” co-author. It’s especially useful when you hit writer’s block or want fresh metaphors, emotional beats, or unexpected plot turns.
When to choose Sudowrite over Squibler: If you write fiction and value tone, mood, world-building richness, imaginative language over strict structure.
NovelCrafter — Best for deep world-building and long-form series planning
- NovelCrafter is known for offering robust project organization tools: a “codex” for characters, lore, world history, timelines — basically a comprehensive database for complex novels or multi-book universes.
- Its flexibility in connecting to different AI engines (through APIs) allows you to choose your model depending on need — whether you want more creativity, more control, or a hybrid approach.
- This makes it particularly strong for series, saga-level fiction, or any writing project where continuity, consistency, and complexity matter. If you’ve got tons of characters, intricate timelines or layered lore, NovelCrafter helps you keep tabs more cleanly than a simpler studio can.
When to pick NovelCrafter: If you plan long-form fiction, want maximum control over world-building, or manage complex books with many moving parts.
Squibler FAQ
1. Is Squibler really free?
Yes — but only up to a point.
Squibler has a Limited (free) plan that gives you access to the app plus a small monthly allowance of AI words. Recent reviews and Squibler’s own material point to about 6,000 AI-generated words per month, plus caps on files and projects.
That’s enough to:
- Try the interface
- Draft a short chapter or essay
- Test how the Smart Writer feels
It’s not enough to write a full book with AI support. For anything serious or long-form, you’ll outgrow the free plan quickly.
2. How much does Squibler Pro cost?
As of late 2025:
- Pro plan (annual) – about $16/month, billed as $192/year
- Pro plan (monthly) – around $29/month if you don’t want an annual commitment
That single Pro tier unlocks:
- Unlimited AI manuscripts and outlines
- Unlimited AI writing features (drafting, rewriting, etc.)
- Unlimited text-to-image generation
- Full template library and export options
- Extras like one physical copy of your book and live online training sessions
3. Can Squibler write an entire book for me?
Technically: yes. Practically: not without you.
Squibler’s AI can generate full-length manuscripts and screenplays from a relatively short prompt or outline. That’s a big selling point in its marketing.
But there are trade-offs:
- The longer the book, the more repetition you’ll see in phrasing and ideas
- Scenes can feel formulaic or “AI-flat”
- Continuity and depth still need human supervision
So while you can hit a button and get a 40–60k-word draft, you should treat that as:
- A sandbox to test a concept
- A rough block of marble you’ll carve into shape
You’ll still need to revise, add real experience, and edit hard if you want something publishable.
4. Is Squibler better for fiction or non-fiction?
Squibler is designed as an all-in-one writing studio for both fiction and non-fiction. Templates, planning boards, and the Smart Writer work across:
- Novels and short stories
- Non-fiction books, guides, and essays
- Scripts and screenplays
- Reports and documentation
In practice:
- For fiction, Squibler is good at structure: chapters, scenes, corkboard, and project planning. You can absolutely write a novel in it, but you’ll likely find the prose less “alive” than what a fiction-focused tool like Sudowrite generates.
- For non-fiction, Squibler quietly shines. It understands how a book is structured, helps you outline, and keeps chapters organized. You’ll still need to bring your own expertise and research, but the scaffolding is solid.
5. Does Squibler work offline?
Mostly, no.
Squibler is primarily a web-based app. Reviews and comparisons agree that you need an internet connection to use its AI features and cloud workspace.
Some Squibler content mentions limited offline capabilities for traditional word-processor style drafting, but the core experience — especially AI — is built around being online.
If you like to write on planes, trains, or in places with patchy Wi-Fi, this is something to factor into your decision.
6. How safe is my writing in Squibler?
Recent reviews highlight a few important points:
- Squibler does not claim IP rights over your work. Your manuscripts remain yours.
- They state they don’t use your writing for AI training without your consent.
- Project files are stored in the cloud with encryption and autosave backups, so your drafts aren’t just sitting in a random folder.
As always, if you’re working with sensitive material, licensed IP, or under contract, you should:
- Read the latest privacy policy
- Clear it with legal / your publisher
- Keep your own local backups of final drafts
For most authors and content creators, Squibler’s data approach is more than adequate.
7. Can I collaborate with others in Squibler?
Yes, Squibler includes collaboration tools, especially on paid plans. You can share projects, control editing permissions, and work together in the same manuscript.
This is handy if you:
- Co-write a book
- Work with an editor or writing coach
- Need feedback on structure and flow, not just copy-edits
It’s not as advanced as a full Google Docs or Notion setup, but it’s more than enough for most small writing teams.
8. Is Squibler’s AI good enough to publish “as is”?
No tool is — and Squibler is no exception.
Real-world tests and reviews repeat the same verdict:
- Squibler’s AI is useful for drafting, outlining, and beating the blank page,
- but the output is not publish-ready. It can be generic, repetitive, and lacking in nuance.
You’ll get the best results when you treat Squibler as:
- A structure partner (chapters, scenes, planning), and
- A drafting assistant — not a substitute for your voice, judgement, or craft.
