The part most tools get wrong

Draftward runs on the AI subscription you already pay for—Claude on any paid plan, or ChatGPT Plus or Pro. That means no tokens to buy, no per-word billing, and no bill that grows because you had a productive week. The $5 is the whole price of the tool.

Your work stays as plain Markdown files on your own disk. If you ever stop paying, the essays are still yours and still readable—there is nothing to export and nothing held hostage.
