Real-time screenplay editor
The real-time co-writing screenplay tool - versus One More Draft, which adds prose, notes, community, and publishing.
Yes - One More Draft is a solid WriterDuet alternative for screenwriters, especially anyone who also writes prose or wants developmental notes and community. WriterDuet pioneered smooth real-time co-writing in a browser-based script editor and does that one job very well. One More Draft has real-time co-writing on its Pro tier plus a full industry screenplay editor, and it surrounds the script with a prose manuscript editor, Greenlight coverage, a peer Workshop, and publish-ready book export.
WriterDuet's strength is live collaboration: two or more writers in the same script at once, with a clean interface and a generous free tier. Its trade-offs are a screenplay-only focus, no prose or novel side, and no built-in coverage or community.
One More Draft is for the writer whose work spans formats and stages: plan with 30+ frameworks, format to industry standard, get notes, run a table read, then write a novel in the same account. If your only need is the fastest, most polished real-time script collaboration, WriterDuet is excellent at that specific thing.
A screenwriting team that wants the smoothest possible real-time co-writing in a focused, screenplay-only editor.
A writer who wants script collaboration plus prose, developmental notes, community, and publishing in one account.

WriterDuet is the better pick when real-time script collaboration is the whole job and you want the tool that has specialized in it the longest. Its live co-writing is fast and refined, and its free tier is genuinely usable for a focused screenwriting workflow. If you never need prose, coverage, or community, that focus is a strength rather than a gap.
