Writing scripts with AI can involve more than generating a draft: the tools here can be compared on the script types they support, screenplay formatting, and rewriting features. AI context limit and export formats provide further points to weigh, as do real-time collaboration, free-plan access, and paid-from pricing. Screenplay Assistant and ScreenWeaver lead the opening entries, with Plotwell and Melies also near the start. Consider the formats you write and whether you need formatting help, collaborative work, or particular export options; use the listed features to compare those needs.
