Ulysses plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $5.99/month | 3 | Entry tier |
| Annual | $49.99/year | 4 | +$44/year, 1 more feature |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Monthly

People bring Ulysses in for long form writing and drafting across mac, ipad and iphone, managing a library of drafts with markdown and export to publishing formats. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Ulysses are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Ulysses
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $5.99/month and $49.99/year, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Ulysses against the tools that do have one before committing.
Ulysses runs on macos, ios, ipados, and is published by Ulysses (The Omni Group) of Lisbon, Portugal. The full record is on the Ulysses review.
Ulysses pricing questions
- How much does Ulysses cost?
- Ulysses publishes 2 tiers, from $5.99/month for Monthly up to $49.99/year for Annual. The cheapest paid tier is $5.99/month.
- Does Ulysses have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Ulysses is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Monthly and Annual on Ulysses?
- Annual costs $49.99/year against $5.99/month, and adds discounted price.
- Is the Annual plan on Ulysses worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is discounted price. It costs $49.99/year against $5.99/month for Monthly. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Ulysses?
- The record lists 8 features across 1 area: core. In practice it is brought in for long form writing and drafting across mac, ipad and iphone, managing a library of drafts with markdown and export to publishing formats.
- Does Ulysses charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Ulysses prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Ulysses against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Ulysses to make a useful price comparison.
