Tools for writing and publishing a book — the short answers
Every number here comes from our own daily check — not from a vendor list.
Tools for writing and publishing a book — how many are there?
Tablif is tracking 89 of them. 85 answered our check today, and 2 we couldn't reach — we don't claim those are dead.
Which ones are still maintained?
Tablif knocks on every door once a day and records the answer. 85 of these 89 responded on the latest run, so that number is what "still here" means on this page — not a review score.
Are any of them free?
18 of the live ones say so in their own words, and 8 let you start without making an account. Tablif records the claim the product makes; we don't verify pricing.
Any open-source options?
1 of the live ones on Tablif mention being open source.
What's the newest one?
Riffable — Tablif first saw it 2 days ago.
Did a person actually look at these?
89 of them Tablif opened and read, then wrote a one-line summary in our own words instead of reusing the founder's tagline. The rest carry keyword labels we haven't confirmed by reading yet — and we say so rather than hiding it.
