We wrote these pages, so weigh them accordingly. We’ve kept to facts you can check, and we say plainly when the other app is the better choice.

  1. AtticusA book formatter, paid for once. Shiro starts earlier
  2. CampfireFor worlds with more maps than chapters
  3. DabbleCalm, and on every device. We differ on files, export
  4. Google DocsFree, everywhere, and fine for longer than you’d think
  5. LivingWriterA cloud workspace that also speaks screenplay
  6. Microsoft WordEveryone has it, and your editor insists on it
  7. NovelcrafterSame instincts on AI, a browser tab against a folder
  8. NovlrA friendly room, no AI and nothing to install
  9. PlottrFor outlines that need a wall and some string
  10. ScrivenerThe app that taught writers to think in binders
  11. SudowriteThe famous fiction AI, next to a folder you own
  12. UlyssesLoved on Apple devices. Shiro adds Windows and Linux
