The measurements are free. The model calls are not.
Spelling, mechanics, repetition and readability are arithmetic over your own text. They cost nothing to run, so they are not metered and never will be.

Questions
What is actually free?
Every measured check: spelling, mechanics, repetition, echoes, crutch words, pet phrases across the whole book, and the readability metrics. Those are arithmetic and cost nothing to run, so they are not metered.
What costs money?
The features that call a language model — AI edit suggestions on a chapter, and the developmental report. Those have a real per-run cost, so they have a daily allowance tied to your plan.
I already pay for WriteWithPaige. Do I pay twice?
No. It is one account and one subscription. Signing in here with the same Google account gives you the plan you already have.
Is the daily allowance separate from WriteWithPaige?
No, and this is worth knowing: the allowance is shared. If you run a developmental report on WriteWithPaige, that uses the same daily allowance as running one here. One person, one bill, one quota.
Can I use it without ever touching the AI features?
Yes, and plenty of writers will. Import a manuscript, read the measured findings, fix what you agree with, export. No model is called on that path at all.
Can I get my work back out?
At any time, as a document. No export fee and no lock-in.
