No-AI Article Writing Pricing

How No-AI Article Writing Pricing Works

Arithmetic is easy to perform mentally. It costs $10 to write 100 words, or 10 cents per word, and Articled requires your writers to pay an additional 1%. A 1,200-word article costs $120 to write with a $1.20 surcharge, coming to a total of $121.20. Your writer is paid $120 for their services, while the remaining 60 cents of the surcharge is donated to a tree planting initiative.

This number moves nothing else. There is no research surcharge, no rush option, and no premium tier for a writer with a recognizable byline. A feature written after three phone calls and a morning spent in an archive is priced the same as a how-to written from existing documents. That pivot definitely has its pros and should be mentioned: we rather position ourselves as the publishing house that turns down briefs requiring far more reporting than their word counts, as opposed to the publishing house that pads briefs.

Each order begins at 100 words, increasing by steps of 50 words. You can therefore purchase a maximum of 1,150 words. No subscription or account setup is required. Just submit the brief, view the total, make the payment, and receive the article by email in three days along with the detector reports.

A 700-word news explainer: $70 of writing, a 70-cent fee, $70.70 in total.
A 1,200-word commissioned article: $120 plus $1.20, so $121.20.
A 2,000-word reported feature: $200 plus $2, so $202 exactly.
A 3,000-word long read: $300 plus $3, so $303.

Where the extra dollar goes

Our cost for a 1,200 word article is $1.20. We donate sixty cents to tree planting. That means the writer retains $1.20 for their work. Our cost is $1.20, meaning the writer gets the full $120 for their work. That is the model of the entire business.

What Is Included in No-AI Article Writing Pricing

When you order a brief, you’re paying for specific person’s time. That person has agreed to read your brief, find the sources you mentioned, and take notes. They will draft something from the notes they took rather than from someone else’s article. The draft includes a headline, standfirst, and subheads after the reporter finishes the draft. You cannot write an honest headline of a story you have not finished reporting.

Every draft is checked against twelve platforms before sending: Originality.ai, GPTZero, Turnitin, Copyleaks, Winston AI, ZeroGPT, Sapling, Content at Scale, Writer.com AI Detector, Crossplag, Grammarly Authorship, and Copyscape. The reports are attached to the delivery email. They serve as evidence as opposed to proof. Detectors are statistical tools and are wrong in both directions sometimes, which is exactly why we run twelve of them as opposed to one.

You are granted two rounds of revisions, which will remain open for two weeks from the date of delivery. Copyright automatically becomes your property when the document is delivered, with no attribution necessary, and with no behind-the-scenes obligations. Publish it as a staff-written article, break it into three posts, or file it away in your archives and none of that obligates us to do anything.

A named writer who takes their own notes from your sources.
Headline, standfirst, and subheads are written to fit the completed piece.
Citations for every external fact relied upon by the article.
Detector reports from twelve platforms attached to the delivery email.
Two revision rounds, usable for fourteen days after delivery.
Complete copyright, transferred upon delivery, no byline is required.

Not included in the rate

We will arrange interviews for you, access a paid archive or database, organize image licensing, and upload the article for you into your CMS. Let us know if any of those apply to your article prior to placing your order.

Choosing the Right No-AI Article Writing Pricing Option

Length is indicates the number of claims a piece supports Length tends to be around 900 words for a single argument with three counter-points and a rebuttal. Two arguments will push you to around 1,400 words. If you include interviews in your draft, the quotes alone will easily top 1,800, before you have drafted any analysis. It is a much more effective strategy to count your claims to determine your length, rather than basing it off of your competitor’s length.

Only four tiers describe the majority of our commissions, and the figures below represent ranges that writers describe as comfortable, rather than cramped. Totals include our fee. If your brief falls between two rungs, take the lower one. You can commission a follow-up later at the same rate, and two focused articles usually earn more attention than one that sprawls.

When you are unsure, order short. A per-word price is the one arrangement that secretly incentivizes padding. The only defense against padding is the writer who would prefer to return 900 words that are tight rather than 2,000 words that are loose. We will tell you when a brief cannot be prolonged to fit your requested length. Before any money moves, the custom quote form for a series or a subject that you think is probably larger than it seems is responded to by a human being.

News piece or short explainer: 400 to 700 words, $40.40 to $70.70.
Standard commissioned article: 1,000 to 1,400 words, $101 to $141.40.
Reported feature with interviews: 1,800 to 2,500 words, $181.80 to $252.50.
Definitive explainer or long read: 3,000 to 4,000 words, $303 to $404.

No-AI Article Writing Pricing FAQs

Are Revisions Included in No-AI Article Writing Pricing?

Two free rounds are included, and you have fourteen days from delivery to use them. A round can cover the structure, tone, the accuracy of the brief, and the cuts and additions that sit inside the brief. A new perspective or a new topic is a new article, and will cost the same ten cents a word.

Can I Get a Custom Quote for No-AI Article Writing Pricing?

Yes. However, the rate will remain the same. Custom quotes are handy for a series of articles, for briefs where the right length is not obvious, and for pieces that need a schedule rather than one delivery. A person reads the brief and answers with a suggested word count and the exact total.

Does a longer article cost less per word?

No. Ten cents a word remains at ten cents per word at the 400 word mark and at the 4,000 word mark, and there are no volume tiers on the site. The rate is the writer’s pay, so if we discount the rate, we would be paying a person less for the same work hours. This is the one thing this pricing was built not to do.

What counts toward the word count?

All the main body text of the article, including the headline, lead, subheadings and captions for images. Reference URLs, footnote links, the detector reports and any comments or notes the writer sends along with the draft are not included. The number quoted before payment is the number you pay.

How is an article different from a blog post if they cost the same?

Both have the same cost per word. The briefing is not included in the same way as the article or blog post. An article is commissioned based on a particular topic and often requires sources. A blog post is commissioned based on a reader’s question and typically requires a stance. Choose the one you prefer, and the briefing is given accordingly to the writer.

Can I pay extra for a research-heavy subject?

There are no hidden fees for research lines. The cost to read, call, and take notes is included in the price per word. This price per word is very reasonable, but it is worth noting that some briefs require more reporting than word count allows. In these instances, we are very up front about the fact that we will be unable to perform the brief to the extent it needs to be done before accepting the order. We will not perform incomplete or sub-par research.

Pricing pages usually end with a nudge. This one ends with a number: ten cents a word, one percent on top, and three days max before the article and its detector reports are in your inbox. If the arithmetic works for you, the order form takes no longer than a few minutes, and takes no account.
