Write and typeset a book for one payment
Atticus is a writing app and a book formatter in one, which is the pairing self-published authors otherwise buy twice. It runs in a browser and offline, so a manuscript is not stranded by a bad connection, and it exports files the retailers accept. One payment covers unlimited books and there is no subscription behind it.
Our note
The comparison people actually make is against Vellum, which costs more and is Mac only. If you are on Windows this is the answer by default; on a Mac the question is whether Vellum's output is worth roughly twice the money to you.

Marketing copy that keeps a brand voice
Jasper's argument over a general chatbot is the brand voice: you feed it your own writing and style rules once, and everything after that comes back sounding like you rather than like a press release. Campaign workflows sit on top for people producing at volume. At $59 a seat it is priced for a marketing team, and a solo creator will struggle to fill it.
