Any serious screenwriter would know the 2 major screenwriting software– Final Draft and Movie Magic Screenwriter – and that they cost more than 100 dollars. More precisely, each cost $199.96 and $249.95. While buying one of them is a good investment for serious screenwriting, for starting screenwriters, the cost is not small.

Christopher Boone at nofilmschool.com reviewed five screenwriting software that costs less than $50. The reviewed software are Celtx, Trelby, Moviedraft, Fade In and Adobe story free. I remember reviewing some of them in the past and all of them are well-known as good substitutes for more expensive software.
