What the Scorecard is measured againstFree

The Scorecard is free and always has been. What makes it worth running is what sits behind it: 1,105,457 hook mentions extracted from real reader reviews, 178,726 book blurbs analysed for hook, stakes and tone, and 5,338 reader personas built from that data. On this site since June 2026, authors have uploaded 74 manuscripts, run 214 completed critiques and edits, and run 40 free Scorecards. Counted from our own databases on 15 September 2026 — we update these when we re-count and we do not round them up.

The other free tool here is the First-Chapter Autopsy: three severity-ranked findings on your opening 5,000 words, each quoted from your own prose. Every other tool is pay-as-you-go — see all tools.
