Fair is fair

What WriterDuet does well

WriterDuet was built for writing together, and it shows. WriterDuet says over 2 million screenwriters use it.

  • Real-time co-writing, with text and video chat inside the app
  • Line and document history, down to each edit
  • Production tools and colored revisions on the Pro plan
  • Automatic backups to Google Drive, Dropbox or your computer

WriterDuet is still a good fit if you co-write live every day and your writing team already pays for it. Few apps do live co-writing better.

Our verdict

Unlimited, free, and all the way to the film.

WriterDuet shines at live co-writing. If you want unlimited projects for free, offline writing, and a storyboard and production built from the same screenplay, 熙熙 covers the whole pipeline.

  • Professional writing, free and unlimited, with PDF and Final Draft export
  • A storyboard generated from your screenplay, shot by shot
  • Production connected to the same project, characters kept consistent
