I prefer Scrivener. You have to use it for its wonderful options. I like the bit about being able to collect my research in one place. Ulysses has a stupid recurring subscription. Unless you are using it a lot, it is not justified.
Both Scrivener and Ulysses are great options
Use Scrivener if you:
- Want to collect your research into a single location before writing or rearrange things as you write
- Prefer rich text to plain text or have an aversion to Markdown
- Mostly write from the same device and don’t need to sync often
- Want to use a project template to help you get started
- Need to export to MOBI, or just want more control over the export process
Use Ulysses if you:- Want to focus on the words instead of the formatting
- Prefer to write in plain text or Markdown
- Want to use writing goals to keep you on track
- Need to keep your writing in sync so you can write from anywhere
- Don’t need to be super specific about export features
