    I’m trying to decide which submission-tracking service would work best for me. Any insights are welcome!

      I have used both. They seem to be different tools to me. Nikita, I get from what you are saying here that you can see status updates in Duotrope? If that’s true, I wasn’t aware of that capability. I thought it was just a log were you could enter your own updates that you may be otherwise notified of; I didn’t think you could link it to actual status out there! That would be great if so. Please share how to do that because I haven’t seen that functionality. But you are correct about finding opportunities with Duptrope. It is an excellent resource for that! Thanks!

        So you can just see “recent responses” from places you’ve submitted to. If you click on “Control Panel,” there will be a button called “See Recent Responses.” From there, you can filter to show recent responses for your genre (poetry/nonfiction/fiction/visual art), for places you have pending submissions at. I use it all the time to see vaguely where I am in “line.” It helps me get less anxious (or start guessing that I won’t get a response).

            No problem! It’s so useful! Haha, Duotrope is my opening screen (as is Submittable), so I can check it as soon as I get on my computer for the day :).

      I personally use both! I use duotrope to track everything, and I love the way it lets you see when people have been responded to (to kind of give you an idea of where you are on the docket). It’s also just so comprehensive and I find so many more writing opportunities there than on Submittable. However! So many people use Submittable and that’s how I most often submit my work, so I just check both daily :).
