Alchemys vs Drawstory

Alchemys Storyboard is a web workspace for planning cinematic shots, generating still images and video clips, and maintaining continuity across a sequence. It can turn a project brief into a numbered shot list that users can add to a board or use to replace its current list. Shot prompts can describe camera movement, lighting, and action, with a cinematic prompting guide for refinement. A shot’s final frame can become the next shot’s opening frame, one connection at a time or across the board. Users can work in a list view or a node-based Canvas, and bring in reference images from uploads, Studio files, or connected Google Drive. Finished clips can be assembled into a film or downloaded separately. Settings include five aspect ratios and 480p, 720p, or 1080p resolution; shot duration is adjustable and defaults to five seconds. Sign-in is required, and Storyboard shares credits, model catalogue, and file library with Studio. New users receive 1,000 free credits; AI usage consumes credits based on model and workload.

Drawstory is a web-based AI storyboard tool for scriptwriters, directors, and creative professionals. It can turn a story into a storyboard, comic, or animation, and users can upload scripts and shot lists without writing prompts. Its assistant director analyzes scripts for shots, characters, locations, and camera angles; scripts up to 100 pages are supported. Users can upload characters or choose and customize characters generated from script descriptions. An object remover can remove a selected object or character while preserving the scene. Exports include high-resolution images and MP4, and team collaboration is supported. The free plan provides 10 image generations per month. Top-up costs $16 a month for 50 monthly image generations, while Director is $50 a month for 500. Unlimited costs $150 a month. Enterprise pricing is custom. Drawstory says files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and that scripts and storyboards are not used to train AI models. Users can delete accounts or projects. Paid plans include priority support.
