Prescene vs Slatefox

Prescene connects scripts, drafts, characters, scenes, and versions so users can question scripts, compare drafts, run Coverage, and produce script-grounded working documents. Coverage includes a scorecard, written feedback, and scene references on Plus, Pro, and Max plans. Series analysis follows characters, plotlines, story arcs, progression, and tension across episodes. Built-in workflows create breakdowns, shot lists, shooting schedules, finance plans, risk memos, and Coverage reports. The free Screenplay Editor supports writing, screenplay formatting, autosave, checkpoints, imports, and standard exports. Editable drafts can be imported from PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, or Fade In. Prescene supports Google Drive selection, Google Docs and Sheets exports, and configured MCP or API connections. API access on Plus, Pro, and Max supports script uploads, story-data reading, and workflow execution. Customer content is private by default and not used to train AI models; Prescene states that AI providers retain no script data. The Editor plan is free, while Plus starts at $49 a month.

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.
