Why writers try it
Three reasons to write here.
- 01
Every project, free
WriterDuet's free plan holds three projects. ScreenWeaver's writing plan has no project limit, costs $0 and never expires, with PDF and Final Draft (.fdx) export.
02The storyboard comes from your script
ScreenWeaver breaks your scenes into shots and draws the storyboard with your characters and locations. Storyboard Beta: $9.99 a month.
03One project, from page to production
Shots, characters and references carry into production, tied to the same script. You write the film and prepare it in one place.

Fair is fair
What WriterDuet does well
WriterDuet was built for writing together, and it shows. WriterDuet says over 2 million screenwriters use it.
- Real-time co-writing, with text and video chat inside the app
- Line and document history, down to each edit
- Production tools and colored revisions on the Pro plan
- Automatic backups to Google Drive, Dropbox or your computer
WriterDuet is still a good fit if you co-write live every day and your writing team already pays for it. Few apps do live co-writing better.
Our verdict
Unlimited, free, and all the way to the film.
WriterDuet shines at live co-writing. If you want unlimited projects for free, offline writing, and a storyboard and production built from the same screenplay, ScreenWeaver covers the whole pipeline.
- Professional writing, free and unlimited, with PDF and Final Draft export
- A storyboard generated from your screenplay, shot by shot
- Production connected to the same project, characters kept consistent
