# Choose a one-off Scribora book or a subscription

Decide between a project-scoped Standard or Pro Book purchase and a recurring Scribora account plan based on how often you publish.

## Choose by workflow, not by sticker price

If you are finishing one specific book and do not need an ongoing monthly credit pool, a project-scoped one-off edition keeps the purchase attached to that book. If you create repeatedly across projects, a subscription provides recurring account credits and account-wide limits.

## Standard versus Pro quality

Standard Book uses the Starter-level project feature set for its 10-chapter scope. Pro Book uses the Pro-quality writing and review feature set for a 10-chapter scope. Recurring Pro remains different because its account-level limits apply across projects and allow the current Pro chapter limit shown in the live catalog.

> Use the live catalog on this documentation's pricing page for current prices, credits, and limits. The decision guide deliberately contains no copied prices.

## The project still uses the higher entitlement

The choice is not destructive. If an account already has capabilities above the one-off edition mapped to a project, Scribora keeps the higher account feature tier. Conversely, a Pro Book can raise a Free or Starter project to the Pro feature set without granting Pro to the rest of the account.
