Your needs
For a short continuation, compare response speed and the English prose you receive. For a longer story, test planning, writing, continuity and revision separately.
With a limited balance, start with available lower-cost choices and compare a stronger Writer on a short passage. Keep a more expensive choice only when its result helps your story.
Plan the chapter
The Planner should understand relationships, worldbuilding and your plot guidance. Look for a usable scene direction that respects confirmed events and leaves future reveals for later.
Try an available lower-cost model on the same direction and check its consistency before keeping it.
Writing
Read the Writer's dialogue, character voice and scene progression. Check for loose passages and decisions that do not fit the character.
If you use a supported custom API for prose, test a short scene first. Review dialogue, narration, pacing and the provider's charges before using it for a longer draft.
Keep continuity
The Maintainer should record character states, relationship changes and clues that the accepted prose establishes. Check for invented events or premature explanations before accepting its updates.
Compare how faithfully it records the chapter and follows the requested format. Cost alone does not establish that it will preserve continuity.
Revise prose
Use the Checker to find issues and the Polisher to revise the selected prose. Check repetition, unclear movement and factual inconsistencies while preserving the chapter's events, dialogue and intended length.
Test whether the model follows a specific revision request across the whole chapter. Read the result before adopting it.
Combine models around your budget.
Small balance: start with the lower-cost models available to your account. Test the Writer and Polisher on one scene before assigning a larger share of your balance to them.
Balanced setup: compare prose quality for the Writer, instruction following for the Planner and Checker, and accurate records for the Maintainer. Use the estimate shown for each selection.
Larger budget: compare another available model on the same chapter direction. Keep the choice that improves your draft; a higher price alone does not establish better fiction.
