What is WriterDuet?

WriterDuet is screenwriting software built around real-time collaboration. Scripts follow industry-standard formats for screenplays, stage plays, sitcoms and A/V scripts, and sync between the browser, a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux, and iOS and Android apps. The free plan covers three projects; paid plans add unlimited projects, live co-writing, the desktop app, and revision and production tools.

WriterDuet has a free plan. Paid plans start at $7.49 per month, billed annually ($89.88); $9.99 billed monthly (Plus). See every plan

Good for

  • Writing partners and writers' rooms working on one script at the same time
  • Screenwriters who move between a browser, a desktop app and a phone
  • Students and teachers, who can get half off a subscription

Worth knowing

  • The Free plan is limited to three projects of one document each, and free users can add only read-only collaborators.
  • The desktop app and offline writing with auto-sync are listed from the Plus plan up.
  • Revision tracking and production tools start at Pro, and full line and document history is Premium-only.
  • Cards cannot be edited or rearranged in the mobile app or in phone and tablet browsers; WriterDuet recommends a computer for them.

Key features

Real-time co-writing
Paid subscribers can invite any number of WriterDuet users, free or paid, to edit a script live, with comments, mentions and text and video chat.
Script formats and templates
Keyboard-driven formatting follows industry conventions for screenplays, stage plays, sitcoms and A/V scripts. Pro adds custom margins, line types and title pages.
Cards, outlining and mind map
Each scene can be viewed as a card and dragged into a new order, and a mind map view lets cards be placed freely and linked.
Revisions and production tools
Pro tracks revisions with accept and reject, shows deleted text, and adds colored revisions, locked pages and scene omission for scripts in production.
Saving, history and backups
Work saves to the cloud as it is typed, with automatic backups to a computer, email, Dropbox, Google Drive or iCloud. Premium can rewind a document or a line to any earlier point.
Import, export and narration
Imports and exports PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, Celtx, docx and other formats. Premium's ReadAloud voices each character, and AutoTranslate covers more than 80 languages.
