Free trial
14 days in Calamus. No card.
Write in your browser for two weeks with the Binder, the Corkboard, the Outliner, Snapshots, the world-building Codex and everything else you would use on a real manuscript. Set the paper, the background and the panels the way you like them, and see whether it is somewhere you want to spend a book. Nothing is taken now, and nothing is charged when it ends.

Not in the trial
Compile and export
Compile is where a manuscript becomes a finished EPUB, PDF or DOCX. That belongs to the full version, so the trial writes but does not publish.
The Mac and iPad apps, and Calamus Ideas for iPhone
The trial runs in your browser, on any computer. The native apps come with the full version.
When the 14 days are up.
You get another seven days to download everything you have written. Buy Calamus inside that window and the account reopens with every word still in place, so trying Calamus never means risking the work.
Calamus is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It is $189, and every future update on existing modules is included. Launch pricing brings that to $129 for two weeks, starting 1 October. See what is included.
