MoviePrepper vs Slatefox

MoviePrepper is web-based film production software for organizing work from script breakdown to schedules, call sheets, budgets, and production reports. Teams can import PDF scripts, review revisions, and retain breakdown work for scenes that still match. Script processing identifies scenes and scripted characters; users add production requirements such as props, wardrobe, vehicles, background, and equipment. Scheduling includes availability warnings, scene timings, Day Out of Days, department DOODs, a boneyard, and alternate schedules. Breakdown information carries into stripboards, shooting schedules, sides, call sheets, and reports. Users can download those materials, along with budgets and shot-list spreadsheets. MoviePrepper is aimed at productions including vertical dramas, indie films, commercials, music videos, documentaries, features, and episodic projects with lean crews. Prep costs nothing, billed one-time per production, and allows 2 shoot days, 8 cast and crew, and 512 MB of media storage. Paid one-time per-production tiers are Short Form at 39.00 USD, Indie at 149.00 USD, and Studio at 499.00 USD. Upgrades credit amounts already paid and keep production records intact.

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.
