Writer's Market vs. Duotrope

Writer's Market has been my go-to source for several decades. Hasn't failed. Duotrope is relatively new and has less useful information for me, plus more limited ranges of material. Duotrope is also harder to search, for me. I use Writer's Market online a lot now days. I do not use a submission tracker (Home grown database) so that feature is lost on me.

As I understand it, Duotrope is mostly for fiction and poetry. The Writer's Market has everything.

I primarily use Duotrope. No idea why, I just like it a little more.

I do use Writer's Market, I buy a new version every 5 years or so. I find it helpful but it definitely doesn't have everything. Maybe the online version is better? I find a lot of magazines I submit to by searching online. I like magazine.com for finding magazines I never knew about before. It might depend on the topics you write on. Some sections in WM are very small while others have pages and pages

I have been using duotrope for my fiction submissions and just started using it for nonfiction too. I think it is the best. But there is nothing that says you can't use both.
