Comparison · Payroll + Insurance

StoryboardCanvas vs. Wrapbook

Wrapbook handles your cast and crew payroll. StoryboardCanvas runs the pre-production that decides who's on payroll and when — every department, every day, every line of the budget — so by the time Wrapbook fires it's against a schedule that actually holds.

Wrapbook is a payroll company. StoryboardCanvas is a production company in software form. They live in different layers of the same pipeline — Wrapbook pays the people StoryboardCanvas put on the schedule, the call sheet, and the cast deal memo. Pretending they compete is the wrong frame; pretending you don't need both is the wrong call.

The verdict

"Different layers of the stack. Run StoryboardCanvas for everything that happens before payday and feed Wrapbook the data it needs to fire payroll. Most working productions use both — and that's how it should be."
