RightMyWork pricing is three choices: a free tier for trying the editor on real work, a Monthly plan for a month of full access, and a Yearly plan that covers a year for the price of eight months. Every paid plan is a one-time payment — you pay when you choose to, the period runs, and nothing renews by itself. This article walks through each plan, what counts as a billed word, and the rules behind the numbers.
How the free tier works
A new account starts with 20,000 words of editing, shown as 4 credits of 5,000 words, usable across up to 4 documents. When you upload a document, the editor counts its words and takes whole credits, rounded up: a 4,000-word paper takes one credit, an 11,000-word chapter takes three. The complete document is always edited — credits limit what you can submit, never how thoroughly we edit it.
Free-tier edited documents are delivered locked. The edit is finished in full and stored securely; what you download immediately is a summary document with the unlock offer at the top. Unlocking a document costs $5, applies to that document permanently, and gives you the complete edited file with every tracked change and editorial comment. If you would rather not unlock per document, either plan includes unlocked delivery for everything you edit while it is active.
Monthly — $15
Thirty days of full access from the moment of purchase: every feature, every citation style, every document type, unlocked clean output, reference autofill, and priority processing. The allowance is 25 documents and 400,000 words per rolling 30 days — far beyond a dissertation and several rounds of revision. When the 30 days end, the plan lapses; buying another month is always your decision.
Yearly — $120
A full year of everything in Monthly for $10 a month, paid once. The allowance is slightly higher — 30 documents and 500,000 words per rolling 30 days — and the single payment covers 365 days with no renewal, ever. Compared with buying Monthly twelve times, Yearly saves $60.
What counts as a billed word
The word counter looks at every surface a human copyeditor would touch: body paragraphs, footnotes and endnotes, headers and footers, captions, and the contents of text boxes. A thesis with 80,000 words of body text and 20,000 words of footnotes is a 100,000-word editing job, because the editor works on both layers. The number shown on the upload screen is the exact number counted against your credits or allowance — no multipliers, no surcharges, no per-citation fees.
Documents and the rolling window
A document counts each time you run it through the editor: re-editing a revised file counts again, and cross-reference reports never count. On the free tier the 4-document limit is a lifetime limit. On plans, the document and word allowances measure the last 30 days continuously — there is no reset day to wait for and no month-end burst available to automated abuse. Failed or cancelled edits never count against you.
When your document is bigger than what you have
The editor never runs a partial edit. If a document exceeds your remaining free credits or your plan window, you see the exact numbers before anything runs, and nothing is deducted. A 150,000-word ceiling applies to any single document on every plan; longer works are edited part by part.
Refunds and edits that go wrong
If an edit fails for a reason on our side, a free-tier job returns its credits automatically and a plan job does not count against your allowance — re-run it at no cost. Plan refund requests are reviewed individually and may be reduced pro-rata for the period or allowance already used; the $5 unlock is non-refundable once the unlocked file is available, because delivery is immediate and permanent. Email support@rightmywork.com from your account email with the purchase and approximate date.
If you bought a credit pack before August 2026
The retired Paper, Manuscript, and Volume packs keep every promise they were sold with: your remaining words stay on your balance, they never expire, and your documents are delivered unlocked. The packs simply are not sold any more.
