MonsterWriter

These are two separate document types. The LaTeX Workspace is a full code editor for users who write raw LaTeX, offering syntax highlighting, live PDF preview, and no compile limits. Documents is designed for writers who don't know LaTeX, providing a clean editor where MonsterWriter handles all formatting, numbering, and citations automatically. The choice is permanent and cannot be changed after document creation.

No, you don't need to know LaTeX. The Documents editor is specifically designed for writers who have never used LaTeX. You can focus on writing, and MonsterWriter will handle all formatting, citations, and exports automatically.

You can paste a DOI, ISBN, arXiv ID, URL, or PubMed ID into the citation dialog. MonsterWriter will automatically query academic databases to fill in all fields, such as author, title, journal, year, volume, and pages. You can always edit the result manually if needed.

Yes, you can switch citation styles at any time. Citation styles (APA, Harvard, MLA, IEEE, Chicago, etc.) are applied at render time, not stored in your document. Switching styles takes just two clicks and will instantly reformat every citation and bibliography entry in your document.

The export options depend on your document type. Documents can be exported to PDF, DOCX (Microsoft Word), LaTeX source (.tex), and Markdown. The LaTeX Workspace exports to PDF only. All export formats are available on all plans, including the Free plan.

Yes, collaboration is available on all plans with no seat limits. You can share a project with advisors, co-authors, or research groups and edit together in real time. This feature is included even on the Free plan.

If you cancel your subscription, your documents will remain accessible, and you will drop back to the Free plan. All features stay available, and you keep 50 MB of storage. If your projects fit within this limit, nothing changes. You can also export all your documents at any time before canceling.

No, there are no compilation limits in MonsterWriter. Unlike Overleaf, which imposes timeouts (10 seconds on the free plan and 4 minutes on the paid plan), MonsterWriter allows unlimited compilation time, so you can work without interruptions.
