Film Logic vs Slatefox

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.

Slatefox is a web-based production planning tool for indie crews taking scripts through shoot preparation. It is aimed at producer-directors, first assistant directors, student crews and small teams making shorts, music videos, commercials, web series, documentaries and features. Paste script text to create scenes and characters, or use the AI Script Parser to produce scenes, cast and breakdowns in one pass. Users can build a stripboard, arrange shoot days on a calendar and view page totals. Slatefox generates PDF call sheets with sun, weather and cast call times, and automatically creates day-out-of-days reports. Continuity notes and photos can be pinned to scenes. The Day Simulator updates overtime, daylight, turnaround and day structure as schedule changes are explored. Auto Day-Out suggests scene groupings by location, interior or exterior, day or night, and cast availability; users review suggestions before applying them. Slatefox says it works offline without a signal and scripts stay on users’ devices; no account is required. Cloud sync is available across devices. Free is available to try; Indie costs €19 a month and Studio costs €59 a month.
