AI Storyboard vs Boords

AI Storyboard turns written scenes into editable shot plans and visual references in a web workspace. It extracts scene details, camera movement, character actions, and atmosphere from creative descriptions, then lets users adjust angles, movements, character positions, and artistic style. Reference images use the GLM image model, and short video clips can illustrate movement. Projects support search, filters, scene layouts, shot annotations, and JSON export. No account or login is required, and project data remains in browser storage. When generation is requested, prompts and necessary media are sent to the backend and AI provider over HTTPS. The privacy policy says provider retention and model-training practices follow provider terms and policies. The public site uses Google Analytics, and named third parties include Google Fonts, AI image and video generation, and content delivery services. The Free plan costs nothing and covers the core workflow. The maker says projects have no frame limit, though generation depends on service capacity and provider limits.

Boords is a web-based video preproduction tool that brings scripts, storyboards, animatics, and client approvals together. Frames can use original artwork, uploaded images, or AI-generated images with consistent characters. Its script editor supports free-form, audio/visual, and screenplay formats, and scripts can be turned into storyboard frames. Clients can use a shared link to comment on frames and approve them or request changes without an account. Storyboards can be timed to voiceover or music; boards export as PDF or image, while animatics export as MP4. Boords also offers a public API and signed webhooks, with Slack notifications, Dropbox, and Google Drive listed as integrations. The free plan is limited to five active storyboards and up to five team members. Paid pricing is listed from $26/user/mo annually. Boords says customer content is not used to train its AI models, and account administrators can disable AI features. It is designed for video and advertising agencies, creative directors, production managers, in-house brand teams, and animation studios.
