Jutoh vs vellum11/11/2023 ![]() They don’t cost you anything extra and they do not affect my decision between Atticus and Vellum. ![]() But it all goes to the Kindlepreneur coffee fund, which I greatly appreciate. Also, Atticus is owned by Dave Chesson, also the owner of Kindlepreneur, though I have done my best to objectively evaluate Vellum and Atticus against each other. ![]() However, how exactly do they stack against one another? These two sets of software help authors to format their own book with ease and make them look professional. In order to quickly see how the two compare, let's start by doing a side-by-side comparison of the two. With that, here is a Vellum vs Atticus comparison table: Then, once that's complete, I'll do into a full dive into each of the most important features to better explain each. Vellum is priced at $199.99 for the ebook-only package, and $249.99 if you want to do paperback formatting as well. As a prior user of Vellum, I can tell you that you definitely want the paperback package to make it worth your while.Ītticus is priced at a universal price of $147, and it includes paperback capabilities, meaning you get the same package for more than $100 less. Is there a free version?įor Vellum, you can download their software for free and play around with it, but if you want to actually export an ebook or paperback PDF, you’ll need to pay.įor Atticus, there is not a free version, but there is a 30-day return policy, so if you try it out and decide it’s not right for you, you can easily get a refund. Some ask, why not do what Vellum does and offer it free until someone exports. However, the reason why Atticus doesn't do this is because, unlike Vellum, Atticus offers a full writing capability and will soon offer collaboration, plotting and more inside of it, making it a full suite of capabilities for authors. In short, Atticus is the clear winner when it comes to price. But does it offer the same value? You’ll have to keep reading to find out. This is the deal breaker, the area where Atticus steps up as the clear favorite. Vellum is available for Mac only and while you can pay extra to use a service called Mac in Cloud in order to use Vellum on a PC, it's slow, costly and a pain. Using a progressive web app (PWA), you’re able to use Atticus on: Turns out Vellum is built on a coding language that only works on Mac computers, meaning they would have to build it from the ground up to create a Windows version, and it’s clear from their own website that this is not a priority for them.Ītticus, on the other hand, is available via every platform under the sun, and not just because it’s accessible via a web browser. Also because it works downloaded, or in browser, you can use it on multiple computers (your desktop, or laptop while traveling). In short, it’s the clear superior when it comes to availability to the widest possible network of authors. Ease of Use ComparisonĮase of use is one of those metrics that are hard to quantify in a way that is measurable. Vellum has long been known to be easiest book formatting software to use, with zero need for complicated instructions, courses, or anything like that. ![]() It’s relatively intuitive to find anything you need to find. The downside to this is that it lacks the kind of advanced features one might find in a program like Adobe Indesign. ![]()
