PILOT PARTNERSHIP

We’re looking for writers and production teams who want to put Studio to work and help us improve it.

Pilot applications will open soon.
Access follows a call and selection. Your AI account and Huddle usage are separate unless we agree a capped voice allowance.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few good questions.
Will these prices change after beta?
These are beta prices. Pricing may change when Screenplay.Company fully launches. We have not announced the full-launch prices or a lifetime price lock. Review the price and billing terms shown when you subscribe or renew.
How does yearly billing work?
Pay for a year upfront and save 10% on the subscription, including the management fee. Studio is $475.20/year, Studio + Huddle is $648/year, and Studio + Managed Huddle is $734.40/year. The monthly equivalents are for comparison; voice usage and your separate AI account are not discounted or included.
What do I need to get started?
An eligible, supported Codex or Claude Code account for the writing agents. Choose the provider you want to work with; you do not need both. Your provider subscription, charges and usage limits are separate from Studio.
Is Huddle voice usage included?
No. Both Huddle subscriptions include access to the Huddle feature, with voice consumption charged separately. With your own API key, you pay the provider directly. With Managed Huddle, that usage is billed through us at provider cost.
Why pay for Huddle if I bring my own key?
The Huddle subscription gives you the live room: the host, the coordination of your AI collaborators, and the connection to your story. Your API key pays for the speech service that powers it.
What does the management fee cover?
We handle the Huddle speech API setup, service and billing so you do not have to supply a voice API key. It is included in the subscription: $8/month on monthly billing, or $86.40/year on yearly billing. There is no additional percentage markup on voice consumption.
Does my Codex or Claude Code account cover the voice bill?
The Huddle speech API is separate from your writing-agent account. Managed Huddle handles only that speech API requirement; you still bring your own eligible account for the writing agents.
How much will an hour of Huddle cost?
There is no fixed hourly price. The cost depends on the speech models and what happens in the session, including generated audio, transcription and conversation context. The example above explains how the bill adds up; it does not estimate minutes.
Can a production team use these plans?
Yes. These prices are per named user, so each writer can choose a plan. A subscription does not include a shared team workspace or consulting.
How does the pilot partnership work?
Apply for a conversation. We will understand your project and workflow, then decide together whether a pilot is a good fit. Selected participants can receive free product access for an agreed period of up to six months. Agent accounts and any Huddle usage are agreed separately; unlimited voice is not included.
