Screenwriting’s formatting and style requirements mean that many writers turn to dedicated screenwriting apps rather than more general writing ones. The best–known is Final Draft, but it’s expensive and maybe overkill for many writers. Slugline is a much simpler and much cheaper alternative.

Let’s start with the price. It’s free to try, and if you’re writing shorts of six pages or less it’s free forever. Longer than that and it’s a one-off payment of $49.99.
