In their own words
FiveDraft
FiveDraft is an online screenwriting studio with a screenplay editor and AI assistance. Gemini tools can generate loglines, analyze character traits and arcs, and extract props from scripts. A multi-voice audio engine reads scripts aloud with distinct character voices and narrator pacing. Writers can edit scene synopses and reorder scenes by dragging them in the Scenes navigator. The editor imports Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, PDF, and text files. PDF export is available; Pro exports add Final Draft, Fountain, and Fade In formats. FiveDraft is designed for phones and tablets as well as desktop, and is available on Android, iOS, and web. Read-only sharing links let viewers read a screenplay on any device, print it, or export it to PDF. The Free Draft plan is €0/forever and allows one cloud-saved script, unlimited local drafts, no page limit, and watermarked PDF export. Pro Studio costs €5 a month, and a €39/year option is available at checkout. A Production Pass costs €9.00 EUR once; Founding Member costs €59.00 EUR once.
Inkwell
Inkwell is a screenplay editor for iOS and macOS, with keyboard-first controls, screenplay formatting, outlining, notes and a chat-based writing partner called Quill. Screenwriters can work with a beat board and outline navigator, add inline notes and synopses, track revisions, and generate character sides. Quill can brainstorm and propose edits as diffs, but applies changes only after the writer approves them. The editor supports offline writing, formatting, file management, import and export; it handles Final Draft FDX and Fountain files as well as PDF import and export. The free plan includes the full editor, unlimited scripts, offline use and no account requirement. Quill requires an internet connection. Credit packs cost $4.99 as a one-time purchase for 150 credits; Quill Pro costs $10 a month or $100 a year, with 500 credits each month. Sync is off by default and can be enabled for individual scripts. When Quill is used, script excerpts may be sent to third-party language-model providers, while conversation summaries are stored on the maker's servers.
