Frequently asked questions
Can I write a novel with DeepSeek V4 Pro?
Yes. On WriteWithPaige, writers on a paid plan can pick DeepSeek V4 Pro, made by DeepSeek, for any reply in their story. It reads your chapters and Story Bible and writes into your book, the same way Paige does. Each DeepSeek V4 Pro reply uses credits: about 10–29 for a chat reply and about 11–34 for a new chapter. Paige stays the default and is included in every plan.
How many credits does DeepSeek V4 Pro use?
About 10–29 credits for a chat reply, 11–34 to continue a chapter, and 11–34 for a new chapter. The lower number is a typical reply; the higher one is a long reply deep into a big book, because the model reads more of your story. Every reply shows what it used. Credits come in packs from US$10 (€10 in the eurozone) for 1,000 credits.
Does DeepSeek V4 Pro use my plan's daily messages?
No. Replies from DeepSeek V4 Pro are paid with credits, so they don't count against Paige's daily allowance. Switch back to Paige and your plan works as before.
Will DeepSeek V4 Pro write everything Paige writes?
Not always. DeepSeek V4 Pro follows DeepSeek's content rules, so it may turn down some requests or tone a scene down. A turned-down reply still uses credits. Paige is one tap away and is included in your plan.
Do I need a DeepSeek account or API key?
No. You pick DeepSeek V4 Pro inside WriteWithPaige and pay with credits. There is nothing to set up with DeepSeek.
Is DeepSeek V4 Pro better than Paige?
It depends on the scene. Paige is built for fiction, knows the workspace best and costs nothing extra. DeepSeek V4 Pro gives you a second voice: try it on a scene you're stuck on and keep whichever reply you like. Adventures always run on Paige.
