Your Questions Answered
How is this different from Notion, Scrivener or Miro?
Notion stores your notes. Scrivener writes your draft. Miro is for whiteboards. Trueffles is the visual workspace that stays with you from first idea to final chapter. Map characters, research, themes and arguments on one canvas. See how it all connects, spot the gaps, and keep the overview while you write. The AI thinks with you the whole way.
What can I actually use it for?
Trueffles helps you think through ideas, research topics, and turn your ideas into structured stories. As writer you can: – Develop article and book outlines – Connect themes, arguments, and story ideas – Structure long-form content before writing – Overcome writer's block by exploring related concepts – Embed interactive maps alongside books or articles so readers can explore relationships and context If you're trying to understand, develop, or plan a story, Trueffles is the right place for you.
Do I need any mind-mapping experience?
Not at all. Most people start using Trueffles without any prior experience with mind maps. Simply enter a topic, question, or idea, and start exploring. The visual structure emerges naturally as you add thoughts and connections. You don't need to learn a methodology first. Trueffles is designed to feel intuitive from the first minute, whether you're a writer, student, journalist, researcher, or simply a curious thinker.
What are T.A.I. Credits?
T.A.I. stands for Trueffles AI – the magic that turns your scattered thoughts into visual maps. Every time you ask Trueffles to generate, expand, or refine a map, it uses a handful of credits. Think of them as the fuel for your AI-powered explorations. A simple map costs around 15 credits; a large, complex one can use up to 90. The richer the map, the more thinking the AI does – so your credits stretch further on focused topics than on sprawling ones.
What happens when I run out of credits?
For now, nothing dramatic – your existing maps stay exactly where they are, and you can keep editing them by hand. You just won't be able to generate new AI maps until your monthly pool resets (or you upgrade). If you're stuck mid-project and really need a few more, just drop us a line at support@trueffles.com – we're real humans, and we'd rather help than watch you stop mapping.
Can I buy extra credits on top of my plan?
Not at the moment – your monthly credit pool is what's included in your plan. Credit top-ups are on our roadmap, and if that's something you'd love to see sooner, tell us at support@trueffles.com.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Of course – anytime. Your plan stays active until the end of your current billing period (month or year), and then you automatically drop back to Free.
Will my yearly subscription renew automatically?
Yes. Your yearly plan renews on the same date each year so you don't lose access mid-project. You can cancel anytime from your account if you'd rather not continue. No surprise charges.
What happens to my Spaces if I downgrade?
Nothing gets deleted. If you move back to Free, you'll keep access to your three most recent Spaces. The rest stay safely tucked away in your account, untouched. The moment you upgrade again, all of them come right back, exactly as you left them. Your work is yours – we're just holding it for you.
Is my data secure?
Yes, all of your (and our) data is safely stored on EU servers.
