Where PlotLens diverges
Post-writing intelligence, not pre-writing planning
Plottr helps you outline before you write. PlotLens analyzes what you've already written and keeps it consistent as you continue. They complement each other well — plan with Plottr, validate with PlotLens.
Automated Story Bible, not manual entry
Plottr requires you to manually create character profiles and location notes. PlotLens reads your manuscripts and builds these automatically, then checks every new upload against the established facts inferred from them. The full AI continuity analysis runs whenever you ask for it.
Works inside your editor
Plottr exports to Scrivener but is primarily a standalone planning app. PlotLens integrates directly into Google Docs, Word, and Scrivener as a companion to your active writing process.
