Grove is free during beta—every feature, every story. Accounts created now are part of the beta team and keep full access for life when Grove becomes a paid product. Optional donations support development.
BETA ACCESS
Free forever if you join now
$0for beta accounts

Donations are optional and one-time. Your beta account stays free either way.
One-time payment through Stripe. Grove stays free either way.
Beta means free forever for you.
Sign up during beta and Grove stamps your account. When paid plans open for new writers later, your access stays unlocked.
Your writing remains yours.
Grove never holds stories hostage. You can always read, copy, export, or delete your work.
Support is not a subscription.
A donation thanks the work behind Grove. It does not unlock features—beta accounts already have everything.
QUESTIONS
Before you plant the first page.
Is Grove free right now?
Yes. During open beta every signed-in account can use the full writing space—unlimited stories, research, collaboration, and PDF export.
What does “free forever” mean?
If you create an account during beta, Grove marks you as a beta member. When Grove later charges new signups, your account keeps full access at no cost.
Do I need a card to write?
No. Create an account and begin writing without a card.
What does a donation pay for?
Hosting, tools, and time to keep improving Grove. It is optional gratitude, not a plan upgrade.
Can I share a story with a beta reader or editor?
Yes. Send a private invite link. Reviewers can read, copy, comment, and suggest wording. Editors can also write. Grove keeps one person editing at a time so two drafts cannot overwrite each other.
