Paid plans start at $25/mo. There's also a free plan.
StudioBinder has a free plan, then paid plans start at $25 per month when billed annually ($29 month to month) for Starter. The Free tier is limited to one user, one project, 10 contacts, 10 shots, and one screenplay document. Paid tiers raise project, storage, and seat limits; call sheets with SMS and email start on Indie at $42/month annually. Extra seats cost $25 per user monthly, while storage and SMS overage rates are not published. There is no separate timed trial.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Extra paid seats
Additional team members cost $25 per user per month on paid plans; external view or comment collaborators are free and do not use paid seats.
Unpublished overages
Storage and SMS overage prices are not published, so high-volume projects may carry costs the plan grid cannot quantify.
Annual commitment
The lower per-month rates require annual billing; listed monthly prices are higher. Annual billing saves about 15%.
Free plan caps
Free includes one user, one project, 10 contacts, 10 shots, and one screenplay document; larger needs require a paid plan.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Solo creator | Starter | Gets 10 projects and 50 GB storage for $25/month annually or $29 month to month. |
| Small production team | Indie | Includes two users, 25 projects, 75 GB storage, and call sheets with SMS and email delivery. |
| Multiple-schedule teams | Professional | Includes four users, unlimited projects, 100 GB storage, multiple stripboard schedule versions, and schedule-populated call sheets. |
04Is StudioBinder worth the money?
StudioBinder covers a wide production workflow: scripts, breakdowns, schedules, shot planning, team coordination, and call sheets. That breadth can make sense if a team wants those tools together, but the plan grid puts meaningful ceilings on users, projects, and storage until higher tiers. Indie is the first listed tier with call sheets plus SMS and email delivery; Professional adds unlimited projects and multiple schedule versions. Factor in $25 monthly per extra paid seat, and don't assume storage or SMS overages are predictable—their rates are not published.
StudioBinder pricing FAQ
What is the average price for a movie script?
StudioBinder's pricing information does not publish an average price for a movie script. Its subscription price covers production-planning software, not the cost to hire a screenwriter or buy a screenplay. For the software, plans range from free to custom-priced Enterprise.
What is the best movie scheduling software?
There is no category-wide comparison here, so we can't name a single best option. StudioBinder includes shooting schedules, multiple stripboard schedule versions on Professional, and call sheets that can auto-populate from schedules on Professional. Check whether the plan's user and project caps fit your production.
How much does it cost to make an indie film?
StudioBinder does not publish a budget estimate for making an indie film. Its Indie plan is a software subscription, not a film-production budget: it costs $49 month to month or $42 per month billed annually, with two users, 25 projects, and 75 GB storage.
Does StudioBinder have a student discount?
A student discount is not listed on the vendor's site. The published grid shows a Free plan with one user, one project, 10 contacts, 10 shots, and one screenplay document, followed by paid plans starting at $25 per month billed annually. Confirm any education pricing with StudioBinder before buying.
