Writing and formatting in one program, bought once for $147. Its site describes no planning tools, unlike Scrivener's corkboard and outliner. Its corkboard, outliner, writing targets and compile tools cover the whole draft. Its panels take longer to learn than Ulysses, and print layout is less polished than Vellum's.
