I love Plottr. It gives me a visual and organised way to plot both fictional and non-fictional plot lines. I need a detailed roadmap and Plottr delivers it with so much flexibility it can adapted to suit any project. It is designed for fictional plots but can be tweaked for non-fiction too. There are plenty of templates to get you started and training videos to help you utilise Plottr's many valuable tools. Well worth the money for lifetime use. I am going to upgrade to the 3-device plan so I can use the app.

Fantastic software/service, and great support experiences. Useful educational resources are the cherry on top.
