Deneb
Prose Craft Analysis
Upload your manuscript and get real numbers for all 10 prose-craft checks — adverb frequency, most-repeated words, passive-voice rate, and more — free to preview before you pay. Unlocking adds the specific flagged instances and a section-by-section breakdown.
Rigel

Upload a finished manuscript, choose your formatting — trim size, chapter-opening style — and get back a publication-ready DOCX and PDF, formatted for print. Preview a real sample of the formatted result before you pay anything.
Mirach
Illustrated Manuscript Formatting
For manuscripts with maps, chapter-heading art, or other embedded images — Mirach preserves every image in place and checks it’s actually print-ready before you pay. Preview a real sample of the formatted result, images included, before you pay anything.
Capella
Voice & Style Exploration
Browse 40 combinations of writing style and dialogue style, each shown with a real sample paragraph — a baseline for newer writers still finding their own voice. 2 combinations are free to browse before you buy.
Menkar
Action Reference
Browse by body zone and get every phrase for it — add an emotion or a scene context to sort what fits first. The library is pre-written; nothing is generated from what you type.
Academic Research
Altair
Thesis & Research Writing
Worksheets for a thesis’s central argument, literature review, and evidence, plus a split-pane Write tab and BibTeX/RIS citation export — organized around an argument instead of a story. Altair organizes your argument and sources — it’s not a replacement for a dedicated citation manager.
Journalism & Reported Nonfiction
Pollux
Journalism & Reported Nonfiction
Worksheets for a story’s angle, source tracking with attribution status, fact-checking, and pitch tracking, plus a split-pane Write tab and Compile view — organized around sources instead of a story or an argument.
