![]() But does it offer the same value? You’ll have to keep reading to find out. In short, Atticus is the clear winner when it comes to price. ![]() 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. Some ask, why not do what Vellum does and offer it free until someone exports. 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. 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. Vellum is priced at $199.99 for the ebook-only package, and $249.99 if you want to do paperback formatting as well. 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. In order to quickly see how the two compare, let's start by doing a side-by-side comparison of the two. 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. 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. But it all goes to the Kindlepreneur coffee fund, which I greatly appreciate. They don’t cost you anything extra and they do not affect my decision between Atticus and Vellum. The Word Processor (and related features)ĭisclosure: In this article I use affiliate links. You’ll have to do your best to ignore the ad banner and the product placement, though. Take it for a spin, and we’re certain you’ll find a wallpaper to your liking. I’d prefer the option to get rid of the ads, but I guess I can understand – the app is completely free. I don’t mind being told that occasionally, but the banners pops up way too often for my liking.Īll in all, Vellum gets a lot of things right. Also, every now and again, a none-too-subtle banner pops up at the top of the screen, informing you that some of the wallpapers have been edited in the aforementioned Mextures app. I’d gladly pay for the privilege of not having the ugly ad banner at the bottom of the screen as I peruse the photo gallery, but the app offers no way to do so. Now, why would we say that the app is designed ‘mostly’ well? Sadly, while the app is ad-supported, it offers no way of getting rid of them. The images that are saved to your Camera Roll are reasonably high resolution, too. The selection of wallpapers is a treat, too – the Starter Pack, especially, is an absolute treat. ![]() All you do is check them out, apply a blur if you’d like to do so, and then the app will save the image to your camera roll, so that they can even be used on other devices (thanks to the magic of iCloud Photo Library or Google Photos). The idea behind the app is simple – let someone else curate wallpaper choices for you. The app also packs a Blur tool, allowing you to customize the level of blur on your selected wallpaper and tailor it to your needs. The app also has a nifty way of letting you try out the wallpaper for size – simply choose your wallpaper, then tap a button on screen to show a mock homescreen/lockscreen, with your selected wallpaper applied. The way the categories are organized is efficient and well though out. The lineup of images available is extensive, and very well curated. Vellum, developed by the creator of the most excellent Mextures photo editing app, is an app that gets the design right as well… for the most part. Wallpaper apps don’t make much of an appearance on this site, because what matters with such an app is less how it is designed, but rather how beautiful its contents are, specifically, the quality of the photographs that it offers up. We review a lot of things here at Beautiful Pixels - from Text Editors to Calendar Apps, and everything in between.
