Compare · Scriptory vs Screenplay Editor
Docs-style co-writing, with real screenplay pages.
Screenplay Editor formats scripts inside Google Docs, so its co-writing is Docs’ own. Scriptory is a screenplay editor first: pages break the way a script does, with (MORE)/(CONT’D), character autocomplete, a beat board and the production tools on the same document.

Questions
- Is Scriptory as easy to use as Google Docs?
- It works like a shared document — live cursors and comments — but Tab and Enter move between screenplay elements, and pages break the way a script does.
