The Quick Verdict

Documenting internal processes with screenshots? Scribe. Turning what you know into a book you sell or give away? EarnDraft. Many teams end up using both.

Choose EarnDraft if…

  • You want a book asset — chapters, cover, files, live page — not process docs.
  • Your how-to knowledge lives in your head, not in clicks to record.
  • You want to sell the guide or trade it for emails, with a license to match.
  • You want an editable book and supported exports, then review KDP's requirements yourself.

Choose Scribe if…

  • You onboard staff or clients and answer the same process questions weekly.
  • You want auto-captured screenshots with redaction, branding, and comments.
  • You need team workspaces, roles, and SSO rather than a solo pipeline.
  • Your deliverable is an SOP library, not a product.

Checked September 2026. Scribe figures from scribe.com/pricing (Basic free; Pro Personal $35/mo monthly, $25 annual; Pro Team $17/mo monthly, $13 annual per seat with a 5-seat minimum; Enterprise custom).

Two different philosophies

One records what you do. The other writes what you know.

EarnDraft: knowledge → sellable book

Draft and edit a book, create or upload artwork, then export supported files or publish an edition explicitly. AI work uses the shared allowance; commercial rights and retailer requirements need your review.

Scribe: clicks → team documentation

You do the process once while Scribe records. It turns the capture into a step-by-step guide with screenshots, redaction, and branding, shared by link or embed. The output is an SOP library your team actually follows.

Which tool fits your writing goals?

EarnDraft fits when…

Your expertise has customers, not just colleagues — a guide clients pay for or trade emails for, with your name on the cover.

The knowledge is in your head and has never been written down; there is nothing to record, only something to draft.

Scribe fits when…

Your team keeps asking how things are done — onboarding, client delivery, internal tools — and the answer is a repeatable click path.

You need branded, redacted, commented SOPs with roles and SSO, shared by link across the company.

EarnDraft vs Scribe: questions

They make different how-tos for different readers. Scribe documents a process you perform — screenshots, steps, redaction — for teammates. EarnDraft writes a guide from what you know — chapters, cover, files — for customers. Internal SOP versus sellable book.
