Celtx vs Film Logic

Celtx is cloud-based software for writing, planning and managing media-production projects, including film, television, commercials, documentaries and interactive media. Script editors cover film and television screenplays, stageplays, multi-column audiovisual scripts and game scripts. Story development includes Beat Sheet, Storyboard and Script Goals & Insights; production planning tools cover breakdowns, catalogs, shot lists, scheduling, cast and crew, sides, budgets, call sheets and reports. Users can collaborate in real time with comments, presence awareness, permissions and shareable read-only links. Script revisions, feedback and approvals have a history. The cloud product runs in a browser, while Celtx Screenplay is listed for Windows computers and Android devices; mobile browsers include iPhone Safari support. The free plan allows one project, and the Writer plan supports up to three. Paid Writer billing is $11.24 a month when billed yearly, and a seven-day trial is listed. The maker is based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and was founded in 2000.

Film Logic is a browser-based workspace for film scheduling and production management, from screenplay preparation through shoot-day operations. Its tools include screenplay editing and import, script breakdown, stripboard scheduling, production reports, tracked call sheets, an assistant director dashboard, Crew Live, production chat, and an Asset Library. Screenplays can be imported as.fdx, PDF, or native.fls files, but schedules and call sheets cannot yet be imported from other tools. Projects export as.flc; screenplays as.fls or.fdx; call sheets as PDF; and contacts and schedules as CSV. Crew Live provides a secure link for crew to view the current scene, next up, announcements, and progress in a phone browser without logging in or installing an app. Film Logic lists Android, iOS, and web platforms, but no mobile app. The Individual Production monthly plan costs $19.99 per month and includes three active productions, unlimited projects, and unlimited collaborators. A one-time Script-only licence costs $24.99. A workspace administrator can use every feature with unlimited collaborators during a one-time 30-day trial without a credit card.
