Pricing · one-time, not subscription
Three ways to use raastey. Open the app and write. When the editor earns a place in your day, pay once and we are done talking about money.
At launch only raastey Draft is available. raastey Cloud and raastey Desktop arrive after a focused beta. New here? See raastey in detail before you choose a tier.
raastey Draft
For the evaluator, the occasional drafter, the curious.
$0 always
Use it on one real essay. If it helps, you will know.
raastey Cloud
For the working writer who wants raastey as their daily desk.
$5 one-time · lifetime
Paid once. Yours for the life of the cloud service.
raastey Desktop
For the writer who wants a local, perpetual tool they own outright.
$20 one-time · lifetime
A real binary on your machine. No phone-home billing.
raastey is a markdown tool first. The AI is one panel. The rest is the toolkit a serious writer keeps within reach.
Calm markdown, command palette, keyboard-first.
Hunspell, the engine LibreOffice uses. Multi-language ready.
Definitions, phonetics, etymology, one keystroke away.
Synonyms, antonyms, rhymes, related words, built for writers.
LanguageTool, the open-source standard. Quiet by default.
Flesch-Kincaid, sentence-length, passive-voice ratio. At a glance.
Sources and citations beside the draft, never in front of it.
Observes voice and structure. Says what it sees. Nothing more.
Because subscriptions are loud and writers are quiet. We would rather earn a single decision from you than invoice you twelve times a year. This holds at least until our first hundred paying users tell us different.
Cloud lifetime means access for as long as the cloud service runs. Desktop lifetime means a real binary on your machine that will keep launching forever. Either way, if we change prices later, you keep yours.
Writing never stops. Only AI surfaces go quiet for a beat, then return. We will tell you plainly what is slowing down and why.
Because Desktop lives on your machine. We do not want a phone-home billing line between you and your work. Open providers like Groq, Cerebras, and NVIDIA NIM offer generous developer tiers. You point raastey at one of them and the AI panel turns on.
Yes, once they ship. Owning both will unlock cloud sync from your desktop app, so the same draft is open everywhere you sit down.
Cloud: 14 days, full refund, no questions. Desktop: 30 days, full refund, no questions.
On Cloud: in our database, encrypted in transit, exportable to plain markdown at any time. On Desktop: inside the app on your disk, nowhere else, unless you turn cloud sync on.
