What Scrite is
Scrite is a paid screenwriting app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides publishing tools, offline mode, version history, and extensive export formats. Real-time collaboration is not available, and there are no mobile apps. Scrite was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. A 30-day Free Trial works on one device, but trial exports include a watermark. Annual Basic costs $19 a year, billed annually, for one device with PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, and plain-text export. Annual Pro costs $36 a year, billed annually, supports two devices, and adds HTML, ODT, Open Screenplay Format, and Structure PDF export. Pro Long Term costs $69 a year for a three-year plan on three devices and includes the full listed export feature set. There is no free plan. Device limits and export formats are the main differences between the paid choices.
