Websites or apps to add comic lettering?

the ideal for adding comic lettering is being able to easily standardize, edit, and move around text. in this respect, adding lettering on my drawing app is a hassle, not to mention the fonts available don't really fit my comic. so I'm thinking of adding lettering on a separate website or app. any suggestions?

Lettering is quite easy depending on the program you have. There is Clip Studio; its lettering capabilities are okay, but not the best...

Affinity is having a 50% sale on their programs right now(ends June 20th)- you can get Affinity Designer, which is the (sorta)equivalent of Adobe Illustrator for $25(original price is $50). I use Illustrator for my lettering- it's the best of any of the programs out there used for lettering, but it can also be expensive...I picked up Designer, but havent used it yet. It's a one time payment and its updates are free.

As far as free programs for lettering, there are a few- like Inkscape, but you kind of "get what you pay for"...

For fonts, check out Blambot- he has some pretty good fonts that you can use for FREE, specifically designed for indie comic creators.
