Gorilla Scheduling review
A focused scheduling suite for screenplay breakdowns, stripboards, and production planning.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Gorilla Scheduling is film scheduling and pre-production software for filmmakers, production teams, students, and film schools. It supports screenplay import, script breakdown sheets, element tagging, shoot-day scheduling, stripboards, production reports, cast and crew records, locations, shot lists, and storyboards. The product is available for Mac and Windows desktop workflows, with an online browser-based option that supports collaboration. Its strongest fit is a traditional production team that needs structured planning around scripts, scenes, people, places, and shoot days.
Pricing is organized around Gorilla Scheduling Desktop. The monthly plan is $24.99 per month, the quarterly plan is $64.99 per 3 months, and the annual plan is $199 per year. Each includes film scheduling, screenplay breakdown, stripboards, reports, and production planning. Gorilla Scheduling Premium adds Breakdown Assistant AI: it costs $39.99 per month, $94.99 per 3 months, or $269 per year. A 15-day free trial is available. The paid tiers make the main choice straightforward: select Desktop for core scheduling, or Premium when AI-assisted breakdown is part of the workflow.
The broader Jungle Software ecosystem extends scheduling through Koala Call Sheets, Gorilla Budgeting, Breakdown Assistant AI, and The Gorilla Ratebook. Call-sheet creation is supported through the Koala Call Sheets add-on rather than the core scheduling feature set, while budgeting is handled as a separate product connection. That makes Gorilla Scheduling a practical choice for productions centered on breakdowns and scheduling, especially those comfortable adding related tools as needs expand. Teams seeking mobile apps, built-in budget tracking, or call sheets in the base scheduling product should choose a different fit.
