Explore Pricing🩹 How BotYourBook Solves Common Author Pain Points
📉 Slow Email List Growth
Most authors rely on passive signups or ad-heavy funnels. BotYourBook captures leads right when readers are engaged — inside your book or on your site — reducing cost and friction.
⏱️ Manual Follow-Ups
No more writing the same email reply to every reader. Bots handle FAQs, opt-ins, and even personalized guidance — so you can focus on writing, not inbox management.
🔍 Low Conversion from Ads
A CPL of $0.50–$1.00+ with ads means you need perfect targeting. BotYourBook averages under $0.15 CPL — and delivers subscribers already interacting with your content.
📉 Poor Reader Retention
Most readers finish a book and move on. Bots prompt deeper interaction, drive newsletter signups, and even suggest your next title — boosting lifetime value and engagement.
🤖 Clunky Lead Magnets
Forget messy downloads and gated PDFs. Your bot becomes the lead magnet — offering instant value, answering questions, and encouraging opt-ins in real time.
📊 Lack of Insight into Readers
With built-in analytics, you see which questions your audience asks most — giving you feedback for better books, smarter marketing, and stronger fan loyalty.

🤖 What Is a “Book Bot”?
A Book Bot is your book's interactive representative. Each bot is trained on one or more books, allowing it to answer questions, guide readers, and help grow your list. If you have two books in the same series, you might assign them to one bot or split them across two. Want a third bot combining both titles? That's possible too — within your plan's limits.
While Starter and Growth plans are ideal for managing distinct titles or series, we recommend using extra bots only where it makes strategic sense. On the Pro tier and above, we cap bot usage to maintain system performance and fair use — excessive bot sprawl (e.g., 30+ bots for 10 books) may require special approval.
On the Free tier, a single “book” means one standard-length title. Uploading a bundled or combined work (e.g., multiple books in one file) may exceed our usage limits and trigger an upgrade prompt. We want every reader's experience to be fast and accurate, which means chatbots need to stay focused and within scope.
🧩 Add-Ons for Free Tier
Need a little extra before upgrading?
- 🗣️ Extra Q&As — $5 for 50 additional questions
- 📬 Email Boost — $5 for 100 extra email captures
Unused extras roll over and never expire while your account is active.
GPT-4o access is only available on Starter and above.
Note: Free plan uploads are intended for one book only. If your content
exceeds that scope (e.g., compliations), a paid glan may be required for
full processing.
