Screenplay Assistant review
A broad creative toolkit spanning screenplay drafting, feedback, visuals, and production planning.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Screenplay Assistant is a browser-based writing tool for screenwriters who want help moving from an initial idea to a formatted script and production materials. Users can describe or dictate scenes in plain prose, then work with screenplay formatting, Story Map planning, Story Lab guidance, pacing markers, rewriting modes, first-reader feedback, and continuity checking. The product is positioned for beginners, students, hobbyists, professional writers, agencies, and production teams. It runs on the web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and supports screenplay, PDF, Final Draft, Word, plain-text, storyboard, and video workflows.
Its pricing covers a wide range of use cases. Spark is free and includes AI screenplay formatting, Story Map, Story Lab, pacing markers, 15 character images per month, and 3 storyboards per month. Writer costs $7 per month monthly or $5 per month billed annually, adding watermark removal, unlimited Muse and Panel Studio, Props and Locations, Final Draft import and export, and 3 projects. Storyteller costs $35 monthly or $29 billed annually, with 25 projects, unlimited storyboards and character images, unlimited Atticus and Muse, and the ability to combine clips into finished scenes. Studio costs $99 monthly or $79 billed annually and adds unlimited projects, 150 Table Reads per month, 25 scene videos per month, and named priority support. Three scene-video credits cost $19 one time and never expire.
The standout strength is breadth: Screenplay Assistant connects story development, AI-assisted rewriting, continuity, visual planning, table reads, and production reporting in one product. Final Draft import and export also supports established screenplay workflows, while the Production Pack provides scene breakdown, location, and cast reports. The trade-off is that its widest creative and production toolkit is concentrated in the higher tiers, while Spark has specific monthly limits and Writer is capped at 3 projects. Screenwriters seeking a broad all-in-one environment should consider it; writers who need only basic screenplay formatting may find the larger feature set unnecessary.
