Plottr - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

“I've used Plottr to create an outline in Scrivener with all the information I've already input. It was very easy to do and saved a lot of manual work. I'd like a little more control over the options as I ended up with some of my structure not the way I wanted it. I've only done that once so far, so I may have missed some controls. I'd also like a feature for pulling from Scrivener to Plottr. That would speed up creating outlines from existing material. I know that's difficult, but even having a tool for capturing just the names of scenes into a plottr file would speed up the work.”
