Feature Matrix

Workflows

The "stay in Docs" decision. If your draft, your collaborators and your notes already live in Google Docs, the cost of migrating to Studiovity is real. Fountain+ is the path that respects that — keep writing where you write, push the file out when you need to.

The "leave Docs" decision. If you're constantly fighting Docs' lack of breakdown tooling and you want mobile-native writing, Studiovity is worth considering. Just price in the migration: your existing collaborators will need to learn the new tool too.

Switching Direction

Studiovity → Fountain+ Exporter. Studiovity exports FDX, PDF, Fountain and TXT, so the script is portable on the way out.

1. In Studiovity, export your script as Fountain (preferred) or FDX. 2. Open a new Google Doc. 3. If you exported Fountain: paste the text directly. If you exported FDX: you'll need an FDX→Fountain converter first — Afterwriting does this for free. 4. Install Fountain+ Exporter and export to FDX/FadeIn/PDF/TXT from the menu.

Fountain+ Exporter → Studiovity. Export Fountain (or FDX) from the Add-on, import into Studiovity using its file-import flow.

Bottom Line

Pick Studiovity if you're ready to commit to a dedicated screenwriting suite with mobile apps, AI assistance and outlining tools, and you're comfortable with a paid subscription.

Pick Fountain+ Exporter if you draft in Google Docs and want a free, no-extra-account, Docs-native way to leave with .fdx, .fadein, .pdf or .txt.

FAQ

Is Studiovity really $1.88/month? That's the promotional entry-level rate listed at the time of writing. Long-term pricing may differ — check Studiovity's site for current terms.

Does Studiovity replace Google Docs entirely? Yes — Studiovity has its own editor; it doesn't integrate into Docs as an add-on.

Can Fountain+ Exporter import a Studiovity-exported script? If Studiovity exports Fountain, yes — paste into a Doc. If it exports FDX, you'll need an intermediary FDX→Fountain converter.

Does Fountain+ Exporter have AI features? No, and that's deliberate. Fountain+'s role is format conversion, not generation.
