Production Slate review
A broad production workspace with a free tier and mobile-friendly access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Production Slate is film production management software for line producers, production managers, assistant directors, and small production companies. It brings scripts, breakdowns, schedules, budgets, crew and cast, locations, equipment, shot lists, call sheets, and production tasks into one project. Its published feature set also covers screenplay importing, scene and element tagging, stripboard scheduling, crew-hour calculations, equipment accounting, and team collaboration across films, shorts, music videos, commercials, branded content, web series, and television productions.
Pricing is structured for both individual and collaborative work. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes budgets, schedules, call sheets, shot lists, equipment, crew, PDF exports, and call-sheet sending. Pro costs $12 per month when billed monthly or $99 per year when billed annually, adding unlimited personal projects, budget items, crew, and shoot days; script reading and tagging; Excel, CSV, and Movie Magic Budget import/export; and crew payroll with tiered overtime. Team costs $20 per user per month and adds shared project access, real-time multi-tab sync, Supervision Log, auto-lining, cross-organization equipment sharing, unlimited call-sheet recipients and sends, and organization branding options.
The strongest case for Production Slate is breadth within production operations. Auto-populated call sheets can include weather, maps, and hospital information, while delivery includes recipient confirmation tracking. Equipment inventory supports cost tracking, ownership splits, and rental income, and scheduling includes drag-and-drop stripboards and DOOD reports. Access is delivered through a progressive web app for web, iOS, and Android, which suits mobile-first independent productions. Choose it if one workspace for planning, production accounting, scheduling, and crew coordination matters; choose an alternative if you need a native app-store product or a tool centered on video editing rather than production management.
