Our verdict on TwelvePoint

TwelvePoint is a screenwriting and narrative-development application for macOS and iOS. It supports movie scripts, teleplays, stage plays, novels, and comics, making it suitable for writers working across more than one narrative format. Automatic industry-standard formatting handles the initial structure, while the Script Navigator tree view helps organize story elements. Character and location management, storyboards, and character-arc tools add planning support beyond the page itself. The product is most aligned with Apple users who want writing, development, revision, and production-oriented features in one application.

Pricing is based on one-time licenses rather than a recurring subscription. The Mobile version costs €25 per user and includes a lifetime license, free periodic updates, no registration requirement, and no additional purchases; it supports iOS 12.0 or later. The Desktop version costs €50 per user with the same license terms and supports macOS 10.15 or later. The two versions require separate licenses, so users working across iPhone or iPad and Mac need to account for both purchases. There is no free plan. This structure suits buyers who prefer a one-time purchase, while those seeking one license across platforms may need another option.

TwelvePoint’s strongest area is its production and revision toolkit. Hollywood-style revision color tracking, tagging for manuscript elements, expenses, and durations, and production and statistical reports extend the product beyond basic script formatting. Import support covers RTF, HTML, TXT, DOC, DOCX, FDX, and FDXT files, while export includes PDF, RTF, plain text, HTML, ePub, and FDX. Projects can be stored locally or with iCloud, with encrypted project sharing available. Choose TwelvePoint if macOS and iOS coverage fits your workflow and you need tagging and reports; choose an alternative if you require broader platform support or a shared license across Apple devices.
