"Great for script formatting, but not a catch-all"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx is arguably the best *free* choice for screenwriting and project management. It formats scripts intuitively and allows you to use the index cards and storyboard features for free as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

Simply put: the paywall. All the best features, like offline use, are blocked beyond the expensive paywall that forces you to pay annually for a whole bunch of other features you don't actually need. Have more than 3 scripts you'd like to work on? Paywall. It's an annoying hindrance to really making use of the platform even as a beginner. Also, the free apps you can download for iOS suck, there's a separate one for each section of a project (Script, Index Cards, Storyboard) and they all glitch, constantly. Guess its because they want you to buy the $9.99 version of the app, even if you have a free Celtx account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good, reliable screenwriting software"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx is a great and consistent screenwriting software. Even the shift to the online-based Celtx from the previous hard drive program isn't too different. Users can easily save their scripts in progress and share and save them to their computer. The yearly membership prices aren't too expensive and they vary based on the user needs. There are a variety of selections based on how in-depth your projects are, and how much work they require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

The specificities of having to save files as .celtx files can be a bit annoying, and the interface can occasionally be clunky. The free trial can be a bit short, and only gives a limited scope of all of the Celtx capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best Free Option for ScreenWriters"
4/5
What do you like best about Celtx?

It’s best for the first-timers. That's how it helped me. There is a lot of learning. It covers the standard format,

e.g.:

1. Character Names

2. Scene Headings

3. Action Lines

4. Dialog

5. Transitions (Wherever required)

It saves the time of the screenwriter as well as the reviewer. It gives you a smooth flow when you’re writing.

Few features like,

1. Watermark

2. Highlighting words

3. Story to Screenplay and Storyboard

4. Share options,

will surprise you that this what I wished for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

The cloud version is slightly complex for a beginner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Celtx review"
5/5
What do you like best about Celtx?

I think, when you writing on celtx you feel like you are flying with your word. Feel like very smooth and best thing is when you stop writing celtx save your words automatically. Highlights words, story to Screenplay, props list, storyboard, convert into PDF format, add your comments, share with your friends, add your name and also watamark, lots of things I love. I'm using Celtx last two years and still I love this and I recommend to my friends they are using Celtx and they are so happy. So thanks celtx for your support.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

After login a little bit take time to open your files. And when you share with you one friend you can't remove him. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Still a good free source"
4/5
What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx is a good free source to write your scripts with. It helps keep your scenes and characters organized and automatically formats proper scripts for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

I dislike that they have (in the past few years) moved from an all in one approach to a multi-app cloud based design. There used to be a lot more functionality to break down your script, attach notes and storyboards, character descriptions, scheduling, and much more. I used to Celtx as my production management software, and it worked great. I wouldn't mind paying to have all of that functionality, but they broke it all up and took a lot of functionality away.

"Best to Get Started With"
5/5
What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx is a very simple and streamlined way to write out a screenplay. All the formatting is correct and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

I don't like that they went to a modular approach of separating all the parts of the software. It used to be that you could run all of your production from the one software. But now it has different parts that aren't as functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
