If you look to the right of the big fat 'free trial' button on the site, it says 'Not ready for an online workspace? Get the free Celtx desktop software.' However, I don't think they're updating it anymore, as it's called 'legacy desktop software' elsewhere on the site. Celtx is still free, the subscription prices you see are for their cloud collaboration service.

Otherwise, there is a ton of free/donation programs available. At 15.00 it would even be better and if they make constant updates, would make the payment worthwhile.

Theres no cost for Celtx, like free beer, and you can do whatever you want with it, within. The very best thing about Celtx is that its free There are two definitions of free that people throw aroundfree beer and free speech. However, the price they are asking is decent, not amazing, but decent. Unless youre still running an Apple II from 1980, chances are Celtx has you covered. The workspace is sleek and uncluttered, with helpful tips to make the experience as painless as possible. You can then choose which type of project you'd like to open, plus upload an existing script. It's been my experience that when dealing with programs about movie/novel writing, the ones that work on donation are superior to the programs that demand payment up front for theirs. When you first sign up to Celtx, you're asked to input your industry, experience, and team size. You do not need to pay to write, never let anyone tell you otherwise. For cover design there is Gimp(Free too) as well. Both are free and perform amazingly well. I still have the free version on two of my laptops and on this desktop PC.įor whatever Celtx won't cover, OpenOffice does. I've used Celtx for years, not sure when they started asking for payment. One could potentially forgive Celtx since the desktop client has and is still given out for free.
