Script Hare review
A free web-based screenwriting tool that also covers story planning and production basics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Script Hare brings screenplay drafting, story planning, and production coordination into a web-based workspace for film, TV, and video writers. Tab-based formatting applies screenplay elements as writers work, while character profiles and a visual, draggable story map help organize people and scenes. Script sharing includes viewer, editor, and pre-production permissions, making it relevant to solo writers who may later involve collaborators as a project moves toward production.
The Free plan is unusually broad for writers who want to keep drafting and planning costs down: it includes cloud sync, version history, PDF export, a Character Bible, Story Map, and a Production Hub with call-sheet PDFs. It also supports importing and exporting Final Draft FDX and Fountain files. The vendor describes offline writing through browser caching, so the application remains web-based rather than a desktop app. Pro costs $8.99 per month, billed monthly, and adds unlimited scripts, AI Script Doctor, Script Hare Chat, and the ability to email call sheets to cast and crew. The Free plan already lists production tools and call-sheet PDFs, so the paid distinction is most relevant to writers needing the Pro-specific features.
Its breadth is useful if a project needs more than drafting: the Production Hub tracks cast, crew, locations, gear, and safety notes, while call sheets and shoot dates support production planning. Google Calendar is the listed integration. The vendor describes Script Hare as being in Open Beta, a relevant caveat for writers weighing a production workflow around it. Solo writers who want free screenplay formatting, story organization, and basic production planning have a strong fit; teams seeking a non-web app or a service outside open beta should consider alternatives.
