    Fortelling vs Campfire Write Comments

    Personally, I like Fortelling a lot better than Campfire. It's much faster on mobile, the layout is prettier, and it's simple.

    It comes with templates for characters, items, locations, books, species, groups, and languages. It also has a place for notes and pinboards.

    For most writers, this would probably be enough, but if you need other templates, you can pay to be able to create your own in the app and customize existing ones. It's cheaper than Campfire, too, I think.
