"Celtx is easy to use. The interface is clean and friendly. It automatically saves my work."

4/5

What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx is very easy to use with a friendly interface that makes scriptwriting simple and distraction free. I like how it automatically saves my work, which gives me peace of mind. The platform is reliable, and I appreciate how easy it is to import and export files. The price is reasonable, and the team collaboration features are helpful. I also like the ability to restore previous versions, which has saved me more than once when I needed to go back to an earlier draft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

One thing I struggle with is the script breakdown feature, which can be a bit tricky to use. The storyboard tool could also be improved to be more flexible and intuitive.

Overall, Celtx is a great choice for scriptwriters who want a dependable, easy-to-use platform with strong collaboration and file management tools. With some improvements to script breakdown and the storyboard, it could be close to perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Celtx solving and how is that benefiting you?

Celtx is solving several problems that scriptwriters often face. It removes the fear of losing work by automatically saving everything in real time, which gives me peace of mind and lets me focus fully on writing. It also solves file compatibility issues with its simple import and export options, making it easy to share work with people who use different formats. The collaboration tools solve communication and version-control problems by allowing my team to work together in real time and track changes. The history restoration feature solves the problem of mistakes or unwanted edits by letting me quickly revert to earlier versions. Overall, these solutions save me time, reduce stress, and keep my workflow organized, so I can spend more energy on creativity instead of managing technical issues.

"I love how Celtx integrates screenwriting, storyboarding, The interface is clean."

5/5

What do you like best about Celtx?

Its cloud-based system allows me to work across devices, and the automatic formatting saves time. The breakdown tools for characters, props, and locations are excellent for pre-production. Celtx also supports educational growth by making industry-standard tools accessible to emerging filmmakers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

The free version feels limited for advanced users—some essential features like shot lists or budgeting tools are locked behind a paywall. Occasionally, the platform lags when handling large projects, and exporting options could be more flexible. A more robust offline mode would also be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Celtx solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a student filmmaker, this integration helps me stay organized and focused on storytelling rather than juggling multiple tools. It streamlines collaboration with peers, ensures industry-standard formatting, and accelerates the transition from script to shoot. Celtx also reduces the learning curve for production planning, making it easier to visualize and execute creative ideas efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The episode. So easy to add one. To write a serie, it’s perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

When you write, you cannot write a word in an other color. I would like to write my script in english and french and to write the french part in red for example. it’s impossible. Also, is not possible to change the size of the characters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Dave!

Thank you so much for the feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave it.

I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with going from script to episodic and back. You should be able to adapt your screenplay to any format easily with the "Adapt To" option in our Navigation dropdown. If you find you're consistently having issues with this, we encourage you to reach out to our support team at support@celtx.com so they can look into it.

Thank you again for being part of the Celtx community. Happy writing!

"It's been good but tech issues could improve"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Celtx?

The layout. Is very simple, very specific and the navigating is self explanatory which I love! I've had Celtx for years now and it's a great software for my writing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

Sometimes there are tech issues. I thought I lost one of my drafts because the system didn't update on my end. I spoke to tech, and they were really helpful and I was able to recover my draft, however I panic at the moment cause I had put hours of work into that draft. Also, when importing a script that's on PDF, I would like it if it could be imported in Celtx script format. I have imported scripts that were worked on Celtx, exported on PDF and when imported again to Celtx the format goes off and I have to rearrange dialogues, characters, and everything manually, one by one. It will be great if the system can read the format and import in such. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"What a wonderfull experience to manage my projects"

5/5

What do you like best about Celtx?

It is intuitive and fast. Even for new users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

For the call-sheet section, it would be nice if you could create a complete workpaper for the crew with all you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Fisher Schoberl of Celtx

Hi Michael,

We're so glad to read you find Celtx intuitive and easy to use, and thanks for the thoughtful suggestion! Celtx call sheets auto-populate key details from your script — including locations, sunrise/sunset times, scene list, cast list, and advance team — and partially automate crew and contact info. You can also add weather, production notes, basecamp, call times, transport, and department notes, all in one place. But we love hearing ideas for making them even more comprehensive. Your note about a “complete workpaper” is great — we’ll share this with our product team so they can consider ways to bundle more daily details into a single document.

Thank you again for the feedback, and for being a valuable member of the Celtx community!

"I Highly Recommend Celtx"

5/5

What do you like best about Celtx?

I’ve been using Celtx for a long time. It’s the screenwriting software I’m most used to using as I am on a budget. I recommend it to people who ask which software to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

Unfortunately, I’m not allowed more than 3 screenplays in my studio. I’ve had to trash some screenplays I’d love to tweak in my spare time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for recommending Celtx to others — it means a lot to us that you’ve been with us for such a long time!

We completely understand the challenge of managing multiple projects when you’re limited to three in your studio. While the Writer Plan is designed with that cap in mind, we do offer other plan options that allow for more active scripts if you ever find yourself ready for that next step. In the meantime, we hope Celtx continues to be a helpful space for the stories you’re working on now.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback — it really helps us understand what matters most to our writers.
