“I wrote the script, broke it down, and watched the shot list build itself - all in one tab. I used to bounce between four apps to do that.”
From a phone on a Sunday shoot to a streamer's slate of fifty.
One tool that grows with the production. The same project file carries a solo YouTuber and a multi-studio drama - every person who builds a film, from the first idea through planning, into the shoot, and out the other side in post. The bigger you get, the more it saves you.
The spectrum
Every kind of maker. One workflow. It scales as you do.
FREE PLAN
Students & first films
The entire studio, at no cost: script, breakdown, stripboard, boards, call sheets, shoot day, wrap. One seat, no card, no countdown. AI is the only thing you pay for - add a Booster from £5 when you want Dolly, or don't, and do it all by hand for nothing.
Free forever
SOLO PLAN
Creators & YouTubers
Script the idea, board it in minutes with the AI Artist, shoot it on a phone, cut the animatic. The whole thing in one file - no four-app juggle, no exports between tools.
From £15/mo
TEAM PLAN
Social & branded content
Pitch agencies with style-locked boards that look the same every frame, then turn the brief into a call sheet the same afternoon. Win the work before the competition has finished their deck.
Team plan
STUDIO PLAN
Music videos & commercials
Full crew, real stripboard scheduling, hot-cost as the day moves, auto call sheets that dispatch themselves. The producer sees the money in real time, not a week later.
Studio plan
AGENCY PLAN
Indie film & TV drama
Script to breakdown to schedule to shoot day to post, in one continuous spine. Festivals, sales handoff, EPK, watermarked screener distribution - the long-form workflow, end to end.
Agency plan
NETWORK PLAN
Production companies & studios
A whole slate of projects under one roof. Per-seat permissions so a storyboard artist never sees the budget, an org-wide audit trail, and the producer scorecard across every show.
Network plan
ENTERPRISE
Streamers & broadcasters
Multi-studio, multi-unit, seat governance, compliance vaults, child-performer hours, talent identity across productions. The infrastructure a commissioner expects - without a six-figure software bill, and without a sales call to find out the price.

Early access · in their words
What filmmakers say about StoryboardCanvas.
Producers, directors, writers, storyboard artists and crew pressure-tested the suite through early access. Real people, real roles, in their own words.
“Call sheets that pull straight from the schedule and the breakdown. The day-before scramble is basically gone.”
“The budget and the schedule finally talk to each other. Change a shoot day and the cost report just knows.”
“The draw tools are properly good - real brushes, real layers - and the boards drop straight into the animatic.”
“One project file from first draft to wrap. My team stopped emailing versions around because there's only ever one source of truth.”
“I plan coverage in the shot list and the AI artist renders the frame in our locked style. It's a real previs loop, not a toy.”
“Cast, locations, props, vehicles - every department in one place, and they cross-reference each other. No more spreadsheet archaeology.”
“I replaced Final Draft, StudioBinder and Movie Magic with one subscription. The maths made the decision for me.”
“The animatic exports clean to my NLE with timings intact. Handover used to lose half a day to reformatting.”
“The shoot diary logs scenes against the breakdown as we go. By wrap I had a DPR my financiers actually read.”
“Dolly knows the whole project - she'll draft a breakdown, flag a continuity gap, then critique the boards. It feels like a real second pair of eyes.”
“Self-tapes, deal memos, availability, all tied to the characters in the script. The casting chaos finally has a home.”
Why it works at every size
The work doesn't change. The scale does.
A one-person edit and a fifty-person drama use the exact same spine: write, board, break down, schedule, shoot, log, budget, deliver. A solo creator touches a handful of those apps; a studio runs all twenty across a slate. You never outgrow the tool and re-learn a new one - you just turn on the parts you've grown into.
And DollyAI is in every app the whole way up - a creative partner that knows your film, remembers it between sessions, and brings in her department heads when the slate gets big.
Built for studios. Sized for your team.
Onboard twenty staff without losing track of who sees the budget, who signs the call sheet, who watches the storyboard land. Owners keep the keys. Everyone else gets exactly the apps they need - nothing more.
The compliance picture, all in one place.
Every save, every share, every permission change writes to one admin-visible feed. When the bond company asks 'who changed the budget last Tuesday?' you have a one-screen answer.
Every cast deal-memo edit, every schedule lock, every call-sheet dispatch, every wrap report - all surface in the producer audit trail with timestamp + actor.
Owners can request a structured dump of the organisation's data at any time. Self-serve, no support ticket required. The receipt arrives the same day.
Closing a production? Owners can request full account deletion with one form. The roll-off respects your invoice history retention obligations.
Bring your whole production company on for a single subscription. Pick the plan whose seat count matches your roster - every other staff member can read along as a viewer at no extra cost.

The math, in plain pounds
The stack you didn't realise you were paying for.
Final Draft. StudioBinder. Movie Magic. Frame.io. Adobe. Storyboard Pro. Boords. Wrapbook. Eight subscriptions. Eight contexts. Eight invoices.
Trelby is free. Krita is free. Storyboarder is free. They're great at what they do - and they don't sync, don't review, don't schedule, don't break down a script. You'll outgrow the free stuff. You'll pay for features you'll never touch in the paid stuff. Or, this.

The Promise
The price you join at - your project keeps for life.
Founder-owned. Filmmaker-led. Never up for sale.
Every tool in your stack has been bought, hiked or paywalled - we built StoryboardCanvas because we couldn't watch another filmmaker get rug-pulled. Profit-funded, not VC-funded: the price you join at is the price your project keeps, for its whole life. Every upgrade we ship lands on every tier, retroactively - the twenty apps in your plan today are the twenty in your plan tomorrow. No investors to please, nothing to flip.
