Amplitude vs ScreenplayIQ

ScreenplayIQ focuses exclusively on screenwriting: it analyzes scripts for structure, pacing, character arcs, and dialogue using AI, and provides visual heatmaps and pacing charts. It generates genre-specific beat sheets, comparative analysis against successful scripts, and a marketability score. Collaboration features allow version tracking and shared coverage. Integrations include WriterDuet, Final Draft, Fade In, Adobe Story, Highland, and Celtx. Amplitude is a full-stack analytics platform: it tracks user journeys via product analytics, provides one-line marketing analytics, session replay, heatmaps, and A/B testing (feature and web). AI features include 24/7 AI Agents for issue resolution, AI Feedback for sentiment, AI Visibility for LLM brand mentions, and MCP integration for insights via Claude/Cursor. Amplitude offers extensive data governance tools. The only commonality is 'heatmaps'—but ScreenplayIQ's heatmaps show script pacing, while Amplitude's show click/scroll behavior on web or app pages.

ScreenplayIQ uses a straightforward freemium model: free tier includes 1 script analysis per month with basic coverage. Pro at $19/month unlocks unlimited analyses, exportable reports, and collaboration. Studio at $49/month adds custom genre templates and priority support. Amplitude also offers a free tier (up to 10,000 events per month) with core product and marketing analytics. Growth and Enterprise plans require contacting sales, with pricing scaling based on event volume and feature needs. While ScreenplayIQ's pricing is low and fixed for individuals, Amplitude's can become expensive for high-volume event tracking, typical for larger teams. For a solo screenwriter, ScreenplayIQ is affordable; for a startup with limited events, Amplitude's free tier may suffice short-term but may require a paid plan as usage grows.
