The verdict

"Arc Studio is cheaper if you only outline and write. StoryboardCanvas is cheaper if your beat sheet ever turns into a shoot — the breakdown, schedule, call sheet, and storyboard all read the same stable scene IDs as the script, so a rename in /script flows everywhere instead of breaking the chain."
