Filmara vs WriterDuet

WriterDuet is a screenwriting app built around writing together: real-time co-writing, comments and chat, in the browser, on mobile and on the desktop.

Filmara co-writes in real time too, and goes past the page. The screenplay’s characters, places and storyboard live in the same project, and the shots are rendered from the script.

If you want a writing room with production revisions and Final Draft files in and out, WriterDuet is a strong choice. If you want to see the film you are writing, Filmara shows it.

Side by side

Choose WriterDuet if

• Your writing room co-writes every day and wants comments, chat and line history.
• You need production revisions in colour.
• You trade drafts with people on Final Draft and need .fdx files in and out.

Choose Filmara if

• You want to see the film you are writing: its characters, places and shots, from the script.
• You want your writing partner to co-write for free. On WriterDuet’s free plan, collaborators can only read.
• You want an assistant included in the plan.

Switching

WriterDuet exports Fountain, and Filmara opens it: export the script as a .fountain file and open it in Filmara. Comments and line history stay in WriterDuet.

It works the other way too: Filmara exports Fountain, which WriterDuet imports.
