Our verdict on Cineboard
Cineboard is a browser-based visual pre-production workspace for directors, cinematographers, and production teams. It brings moodboards, reference-led frame development, storyboard Shot Cards, scene organization, shooting schedules, client presentation links, production exports, and task management into one project. Shot Cards can include images, action, lens, camera, framing, movement, FPS, and other technical details, making the product suited to planning visual work from early references through shoot-day coordination.
The plan structure makes Cineboard accessible for smaller projects. Free includes one project, 20 Shot Cards, 50 moodboard items, 5 GB of workspace storage, two exports per month, and 20 AI Node chats per month. Plus costs $9.90 per month and adds unlimited projects, Shot Cards, and moodboards, unlimited Shoot Plan exports, 50 GB of storage, QR briefs, and public client presentation links. Pro costs $29 per month and adds unlimited storage, 80 monthly AI credits, Script Studio AI writing and image generation, and personal credit top-ups. Team costs $59 per month, includes four seats, and adds a shared workspace, shared AI credits, project invitations, collaboration, and priority support.
Cineboard’s strongest fit is visual production planning that needs more structure than a simple storyboard canvas. Frame Lab supports reference-led generation and revision, while Scene Strips organize shots into scenes and the Shooting Plan covers scheduling, buffers, travel, and shoot-day tracking. PDF and social PNG exports, view-only client links, real-time presence, and production tasks extend the workflow beyond shot design. The product is less suitable for teams requiring a non-web application or broad platform flexibility. Solo creators can start with Plus or Pro, while collaborative productions have a clearer match in Team.
