write.cafe · Pro

Show up daily.
$3 a month.

A small monthly nudge for the daily-writers cohort. Extras on top of the free tier — extended history, premium prompts, larger sprint rooms, contest entry guarantees, custom backdrops. Pro never paywalls anything you have today.

Extended entry history

Free tier shows your last 14 days. Pro keeps everything searchable, with year-on-year recap views and full-text search across years of journaling.

Premium prompt packs

Themed expansions to the random-prompt rotation: "Rainy days", "Sci-fi flash", "Childhood memories", "Letters never sent". New packs added monthly.

Larger sprint rooms

Free rooms cap at 6 writers. Pro unlocks rooms up to 24 — useful for cohorts, classrooms, virtual residencies, and group challenges.

Contest entry guarantee

Submit on time and Pro entries always make the judging round. No rate-limit cuts, no entries dropped because the field got crowded.

Custom backdrop themes

Swap the fireplace for writing-desk, library, train carriage, sunset porch, or rainy-window backdrops. Persists across sessions.

Frequently asked

Does Pro paywall anything I have today?
No. Pro is purely additive. The daily ritual, sprints, prompts, battles, and contest entry stay free for everyone. Pro adds extras on top — extended history past 14 days, premium prompt packs, larger sprint rooms — without taking anything away from the free tier.
Why $3/mo?
It's positioned as an easy-add for the cohort that shows up daily. Lower than Graphene+ on purpose — write.cafe is the daily-ritual surface, not the audio-show surface, and the price reflects that. If the ritual matters to you, it's the cost of a coffee a month.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, in two clicks via Stripe's Customer Portal (linked from your Pro modal). Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — no refunds on the partial month, but you keep access through the end.
Do I need Pro to enter the weekly contest?
No. Free users enter the contest, win the contest, and show up in the winners archive. Pro adds an entry guarantee (your submission always makes the judging round, no rate-limit drops) but the core contest is free.
Is there an annual option?
Not yet. Monthly only for v1. If demand is there we'll add an annual tier with a small discount, similar to Graphene+'s 10-for-12 structure.
I already pay for Graphene+. Do I need this too?
No requirement. They're separate products: Graphene+ unlocks the audio back catalog on the storytelling network; Cafe Pro unlocks daily-ritual extras on the writing surface. Some writers want both, most want one. You'll get a small Cafe Pro perk for being a Graphene+ subscriber once we wire that up.
