What's included
Everything. There is one edition: the screenplay editor, which opens and saves Final Draft and Fountain files and imports PDF scripts; script breakdown and tagging; the stripboard schedule, the production calendar and Day Out of Days; the budget; call sheets and production paperwork; and shot lists, shot order and mood boards in Visualize. Feature films and whole TV seasons both fit in one project.
Two activations
One licence activates Scriptease on two Macs — say, a desktop in the office and a laptop on set. Changing computers? Deactivate the old machine and activate the new one within the same limit.
Updates and upgrades
Updates are included, and that includes future major versions. You will not be asked to pay again to keep using or updating the version you bought. The app checks our update feed and installs signed releases.
The free trial
14 days of the full version. No credit card and no account: download the app, enter your name and email on first launch, and the trial starts. One trial per computer. When it ends, the app goes read-only — you can still open, read and export your projects, you just cannot save changes until you enter a licence key. Nothing charges you automatically.
Refunds and billing questions
Purchases are processed by LemonSqueezy, which issues the receipt and handles tax. For a refund request or any billing problem, email support@scriptease.app with your order number.
