    Manuskript is free and Campfire Pro is paid. Also, one Manuskript feature is intended to let the user write distraction-free after the worldbuilding is done. Campfire Pro doesn't have that (out of scope).

    These tools do not accomplish the same thing. There is no plot outliner in Scrivener, and Campfire Pro does not offer novel writing tools

    Camfire Pro is meant for intensive outlining in the pre-writing stage. Scrivener is a word processor and binder to track worldbuilding, characters, research, etc. You cannot write your novel in Campfire Pro.

    Bear is more similar to apps like Notes, while Campfire is a tool specific for writers that has feature that help visualize character, plot and timelines in a way that a simple note-taking app doesn't really achieve.
