Atticus is a single one-time payment of $147 that also typesets the finished book for print and ebook, a step Novlr does not do at all.
Story structure on a timeline, before the draft
Plottr builds the story structure on a timeline before any drafting starts, the planning step for a writer who finds Novlr's blank page too open.
Notes that stay as plain files on your own disk
Obsidian keeps the manuscript as plain files on your own disk instead of in Novlr's hosted account, for a writer who wants to own the files directly.
An AI writing partner aimed at novelists
