Your Account and Plan

My Account in the top-right menu is where your identity, plan, billing, and AI key settings live.

Identity

Your Email is fixed — it is the address you sign in with. Name is editable, and it is the name collaborators see next to your edits and comments.

Plan and usage

The Plan card shows which plan you are on, whether it is Active or Cancelling, and how much of it you have used. Usage is metered separately for Papers (articles and notes) and Books, each shown as used / allowed.

Inkwell's plans run from Free upward through Starter, Standard, Select, and Professional, with Enterprise for teams and organisations. Each step raises the project allowances and unlocks more features; the current prices and limits are on the pricing page.

From this card you can:

• Upgrade Plan — move to a plan with higher limits.
• Update Payment — change the card on file.
• Cancel Plan — stop the subscription. The plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, and the card shows a Cancelling badge until then.
• Renew Plan — appears once you have cancelled, and undoes the cancellation.

If you reach your project limit, Inkwell shows a banner inside the app with a shortcut to change your plan. Existing projects stay readable; you just cannot create more until you upgrade or remove some.

Coupons and discounts

Apply Coupon takes a code and applies it to your subscription. Educational addresses also qualify for a discount — see the pricing page for how to claim it.

Using your own AI key

Inkwell's AI features can run on OpenAI or on Anthropic. There is a section for each — OpenAI API Key and Anthropic API Key — where you can supply your own key so that AI usage is billed to that account instead of Inkwell's. By default no key is saved and the AI features use Inkwell's key.

Whichever key you save is the one your AI features use. Save an Anthropic key and features like Feedback, Copyeditor and citation lookup run on Anthropic's models; save an OpenAI key and they run on OpenAI's. If you save both, Inkwell uses OpenAI.

Once a key is saved, the section shows the last four characters so you can tell which key is in place. Your key is encrypted and is never shown back to you in full, so replacing a key means pasting the whole new one. Remove deletes it and returns you to Inkwell's key.

Supplying a key changes only who pays for AI usage — it does not unlock AI features on a plan that does not include them.

Publisher submission links

If you take submissions from other writers, Submit Links lets you create a public link that opens a pre-configured new project on the submitter's account: you choose the kind, name, logo, message, template, tags, and the role the author gets, and can mark a link as single-use. Submissions arrive back in your own projects list.
