The Full Edition
Only upgrade if your book needs it.
The Full Edition is $75, once. Before you spend it, here is exactly how to find out whether you should.
Already sure? That is the whole checkout. The rest of this page is for deciding.
If a button in Squire Editor brought you here, you just met something the free version does not do. That might be images in your print pages, linked citations, a hardcover edition, or the full theme editor. This page will not talk you into anything. It exists so you can decide with the facts.
Check whether free is enough. We will help.
Squire Editor ships with a complete manual, written so you can hand it to any AI assistant. Download it, drop it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, describe your book, and ask directly. Does the free version cover a novel with scene breaks and a cover. What exactly changes if I pay. How does the Full Edition compare to Vellum or Atticus for a nonfiction book with endnotes.
The manual answers honestly because we wrote it that way, and the AI will tell you if free is enough. For many novels, it is. We would rather your $75 stay in your pocket than take it for features your book never uses.

How it works
Pay once
Checkout runs on Lemon Squeezy, our payment partner. They handle the card and the sales tax. We never see your payment details.
Get your key
Your license key arrives by email within a few minutes of purchase.
Enter it in the app
Open Settings, choose Enter License Key, and paste it in. That is the one internet moment. After it, the app is fully offline again.
Rebuild your book
Everything the free version set aside comes to life in place. Images print, citations link, notes take their pages. Your files never changed, so nothing needs redoing.
A year of new features is included. After that your version keeps working forever, and extending updates another year is $20, only if you want what is in it. No subscription, ever. No refunds either, and here is why that is the fair version: the free edition is the full trial, so you already know exactly what you are buying.
Not sure yet? Keep using the free version. It makes a finished book, and it always will.
