FiveDraft vs Lastslate

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.

Lastslate is a screenplay editor for macOS and Windows with an AI collaborator that reads scripts but does not write dialogue. As a writer types, the editor identifies elements such as sluglines, character cues and dialogue, and saves automatically. It supports Final Draft FDX, Fountain, plain text and PDF, and can turn PDF screenplays into editable scenes. The Beat Board links story beats to script scenes and is included on every plan; Pro adds reference images to beats. Built-in tools derive cast lists, location and prop breakdowns, loglines and one-sheets from a script. Browser review links let recipients comment on script lines without an account, while Pro allows up to 10 writers to co-write one script live. Scripts are stored locally by default, and optional cloud backup is encrypted in transit and at rest. AI actions send the relevant excerpt, prompt and session context to the AI provider for that request. The free plan includes the full editor, Beat Board, PDF and FDX export, 10 cloud projects and limited AI collaboration. Pro costs $15 a month; Pro+ costs $45 a month.
