Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Boords is a browser-based pre-production platform for video agencies, studios, and brand teams. It combines a two-column script editor, storyboard frame editing, shot lists, scene views, AI image generation, animatics, version history, client review links, comments, and approval tracking. Its focus suits professional storyboard teams that need to move from script breakdown to review-ready boards and timed animatics in one workspace.
Pricing follows a freemium model. The Solo free tier supports one user, 250 AI images per month, and unlimited storyboards and scripts. Solo costs $39 per user per month when billed monthly or $26 per user per month when billed annually, with unlimited storyboards and active scripts. Pro costs $75 monthly or $50 with annual billing for up to five users, 1,000 AI images per month, and real-time collaboration. Team costs $125 monthly or $85 with annual billing for up to 10 users, 2,000 AI images per month, and advanced team controls. Agency costs $250 monthly, or $165 per user per month as a monthly equivalent billed yearly, for up to 30 users, 3,000 AI images per month, and priority support.
The product’s breadth is its main distinction: teams can draw, annotate, manage custom frame fields, create animatics with timing and audio, track approvals, and share password-protected review links. Dropbox, Google Drive, Slack, the public API, and webhooks extend its fit within production workflows, while exports include image files, Markdown, plain text, presentations, spreadsheets, documents, and MP4. Choose Boords if your process spans story development, visual planning, collaboration, and client review. A narrower tool may be preferable if you need only basic frame creation or a desktop-native workflow.
