Inkwell vs ScriptDraft

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.

ScriptDraft is screenplay software for writing, formatting, and exporting scripts on Android and iOS phones. Its cloud AI can turn a scene description into formatted Fountain screenplay text and organize spoken or typed ideas into scene headings, action lines, and dialogue. Writing, editing, and formatting work offline, while AI scene improvement and cloud translation require an internet connection. The app supports writing and voice recording in more than 100 languages, plus offline Romanized-to-native transliteration for 15 Indic abugidas. Export formats are PDF, Fountain, and Final Draft FDX. Free PDF and FDX exports carry a small ScriptDraft watermark; Fountain exports do not. The site says phone speech recognition processes audio on-device and does not upload audio to its servers. The free plan is listed at free, with no trial or expiry, and no account is needed to start. Pro is listed at $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year and includes 30 voice takes and 300 AI credits per month, cross-device sync, tablet layouts, and iCloud and Google Drive backup. One-time voice packs are also listed, from $2.99, paid once.
