12 Pros and Cons of AutoCrit - Is It Worth the Money?

- AutoCrit is an AI-driven editing platform that is supposed to help you structure your book. Using a variety of analytics, AutoCrit will show a variety of reports to help you streamline the manuscript. But is it worth the monthly subscription fee?

In this video, I go over 12 of the pros and cons that stand out most to me while using the AutoCrit paid memberships. That's because the free version of AutoCrit is extremely lacking and really doesn't have much, especially when compared to other writing apps.
What makes AutoCrit an interesting tool for me is how it uses AI to help you edit. AutoCrit does not write a single line of text for you but will offer ideas for story building and suggestions of how to "fix" the text, such as highlighting slow pacing, adverbs, and several other key points that make for a good flow to the writing.
I am a bit on the fence regarding AutoCrit. Sure, the platform has a lot of data points and interesting tools available. But a lot of competing apps have similar functionality while being two to three times cheaper. If you love data and numbers while comparing your book to some of the greatest authors of our time, then AutoCrit might be worth considering.

It's a fun platform, but is it worth the money?
I'm new to Autocrit, this was helpful, thank you!
You're welcome. As soon as the dust settles, I'll be recording how I am using it for my next book. So far, though, I kind of like Autocrit. I just wish the price tag was a tad lower.
I love what you said about AI content, I've recently started writing and found that AI has been great for tossing ideas around similar to when I talk to a friend about a thought. Using it to write content makes the story read very oddly as it takes a lot of liberties with how it expresses things.
I will use AI for some things, but never to write text or create covers. To me, it takes away from the personality and style of the individual. If I wanted to read something from a bot, I'd read an Ikea manual. :)
@@WriterSanctuary This is a great point, I've also learned to turn off tools like Grammarly. While I appreciate it giving me ideas for rewarding, many of these tools add a machine vibe that take away the feeling that may let a reader connect with your writing. Thanks again for this great video and insights.
@@LTTheReal You are very welcome. Always happy to help. :)
Thanks a lot for going over all of these, I haven't gotten to the cons part of the video yet but I noticed that some of the features are included in Microsoft Word. With the Microsoft 365 (I hate that I need this and it needs internet connection or you'll get the robot voices) review tab, you get a pretty nice AI text reader. It also includes some very minimal punctuation & spelling helper, dictionary and thesaurus which I have found helpful. I tend to use the review comments for keeping notes as I'm not sure if there's a better way yet. I'm wondering how AutoCrit compares to Word?
Unfortunately, I don't have Word nor have any interest in using it. I stopped using anything of the office suite once it went online. I know a lot of people like using it for writing a book, but it's not something that I would use. Nowadays, I think it's more out of principle than anything.
Everyone has their cup of tea. Mine is sans Microsoft. Well, outside of Windows, anyway.
I think it's worth the money. One of the great things are the zoom meetings and community contests. I find that the people who work for Autocrit are generous with their knowledge. I feel like they want me to be successful. I am not sure I can say that about most of my software.
I'm glad it's working for you so well. In my case, it's the data. But I'm quite the numbers dork, so it fits right in. Plus, it's fun to see how I stack against Stephen King. 😂
I heard about this program and was interested in checking it out. Seems very expensive for something, that as you say, one of the big features seems broken. You would think, it would be relatively simple to have an ignore list of words and that would fix it picking up on character names. I have a lot of subscription based services as it is, I just don't see me using this enough to justify the cost. Thanks for the information.
@@joetuktyyuktuk8635 You're welcome. Though, a lot of people seem to like the social sections and forums. But unless you plan on cranking out a lot of books, it is a bit costly.
The weekly zoom groups you didn't talk about, make it worth it. Lifetime membership is also available and a good deal.
I've heard a couple people like the Zoom groups. It's not really for me, but I can see how some would enjoy them.
What microphone are you using? Or is that a pop filter?
@@theresakidd I am using an Elgato Wave 3. In earlier videos, I was using a Blue Snowball.
LOVE Autocrit!
It has a lot of neat features. In fact, I'm looking forward to feeding my latest book through it after edits. 😁
any idea if the autocrit Vault courses are useful?
@@CathyLarkinWebSavvyPR I don't know, to be honest. I've heard some people like them, but haven't tried them out myself.
Does autocrit perform a plagiarism check? To see it you’ve used a previously used story line or if you’re too close to previously published material of any kind
Not that I know of. At least, I haven't found that particular tool in Autocrit. It mostly just analyzes your writing to ensure it's structured well.
@@WriterSanctuary thanks. Much appreciated!
@@johnpwrites You're welcome. Always happy to help.
