ScriptDraft

ScriptDraft is a mobile screenplay editor for Android and iOS, aimed at writers who want structured drafting, voice capture, and formatting without being tied to a desktop. Its strongest case is offline writing with multilingual input and optional AI assistance; the main compromise is that clean professional exports and higher usage allowances sit behind paid plans.

Overview

ScriptDraft combines a Fountain editor with screenplay formatting and exports to PDF, Fountain, and Final Draft FDX. Core writing, editing, and formatting continue offline, so it suits commuting, travel, and other disconnected work. AI scene improvement and cloud translation require an internet connection, meaning the assisted workflow is less dependable when offline than the editor itself.

No account is needed to begin, and the free offering does not expire. That low-friction start is useful for trying the workflow before committing, although free PDF and FDX files include a small ScriptDraft watermark.

Key features

AI drafting and voice input

Cloud AI can turn a described scene into formatted Fountain screenplay text, or organize spoken and typed ideas into scene headings, action lines, and dialogue. This is most useful when a rough concept needs screenplay structure quickly; it is not an offline replacement for manual drafting because scene improvement depends on connectivity.

Writing and voice recording support more than 100 languages. Offline Romanized-to-native transliteration covers 15 Indic abugidas, a specific advantage for writers working in those scripts. Phone speech recognition processes audio on the device, and audio is not uploaded to ScriptDraft servers, which gives voice drafting a clearer privacy boundary.

Exports, sync, and tablet layouts

Fountain export is watermark-free on the free plan, while PDF and FDX exports carry the small watermark. Pro removes that branding and adds cross-device real-time sync, iCloud and Google Drive backup, named revisions, and coverage reports. Pro also provides tablet layouts with a landscape editor, wider dialogs, and keyboard navigation on iPad and Android, making it the more credible option for sustained tablet work rather than occasional phone notes.

Pricing

The Free plan costs 0.00 USD forever and includes the Fountain editor, PDF, Fountain, and FDX export, support for 100+ languages, and dark and light modes. It is a sensible drafting tier, but the PDF and FDX watermark limits delivery-ready files.

Voice Packs are one-time purchases: Scene Pack costs 2.99 USD for 20 voice takes, Short Film Pack costs 7.99 USD for 80, and Feature Pack costs 17.99 USD for 240. Their credits remain valid for 12 months, so they fit occasional or project-based recording better than continuous use.

Pro Monthly is $3.99 a month and Pro Annual is $29.99 a year (saving $18). Both include 30 voice takes and 300 AI credits per month, plus clean PDF and FDX exports, sync, named revisions, coverage reports, and Drive backup. Annual billing suits writers who expect regular use; monthly avoids a longer commitment.

Lifetime Pro is $34.99 a month, billed as a one-time payment with ownership forever, and includes cross-device sync, named revisions, coverage reports, and Drive backup. The wording makes this a permanent-purchase option, but its displayed monthly amount is unusual enough to check carefully before paying. Scene Pack, Short Film Pack, and Feature Pack subscriptions are also shown at 2.99, 7.99, and $17.99 a month, with credits valid 12 months; choose the one-time Voice Pack listings when you need a single purchase rather than recurring billing.

Platforms

ScriptDraft runs on Android and iOS. Pro's tablet layouts specifically improve iPad and Android tablet use; no desktop platform is stated.

Who it's for

Choose ScriptDraft if you write screenplays on a phone or tablet, need offline formatting, work across many languages, or prefer on-device speech handling. It is less suitable if you require completely offline AI, desktop editing, or unwatermarked exports without paying for Pro.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Offline screenplay editing and formatting; PDF, Fountain, and FDX output; broad language and Indic transliteration support; on-device voice processing; no-account, non-expiring free tier.
• Cons: Free PDF and FDX watermarks; AI improvement and cloud translation need internet; Pro usage is capped at 30 voice takes and 300 AI credits monthly; Android and iOS only.

Verdict

ScriptDraft is a strong fit for mobile-first screenwriters who value offline drafting, multilingual voice input, and standard screenplay exports. Choose Pro when clean PDF/FDX delivery, sync, tablet layouts, and recurring AI or voice use matter; look elsewhere if you need desktop platforms, uncapped AI, or a fully offline assisted workflow.
