Filmustage is a cloud tool known for AI-assisted screenplay breakdown, scheduling and budgeting. It's a solid solution, billed per user. Soldum offers the same AI approach, with an integrated budget derived from the breakdown and per-account billing that includes your whole team.
The point isn't to knock Filmustage, but to show what an end-to-end, budget-included tool changes.
- Automatic AI breakdown, like Filmustage.
- Budget derived directly from the breakdown, with standard grids and closing lines.
- Shooting schedule generated and recalculated automatically from the breakdown.
- AI assistant (app + WhatsApp), billed per account with your team included.
What Filmustage does well
Filmustage popularized AI screenplay breakdown in a modern cloud interface, with scheduling, budgeting and collaboration. It's an international reference, particularly suited to productions working in English.
What Soldum adds
Soldum also breaks down the screenplay with AI, but ties the budget and the shooting schedule directly to the breakdown, so they recalculate when the project evolves. An AI assistant is available in the app and on WhatsApp, and the subscription is billed per account rather than per seat, so inviting your team costs nothing extra.
Everything in one place, whole team included
Breakdown, budget, shooting schedule, casting and call sheets in a single tool, with an AI assistant accessible from the app and WhatsApp. The subscription is billed per account, with the whole team included on Studio, and starts with a 7-day free trial to judge the breakdown along with the rest of the project management.

Frequently asked questions
Does Soldum do AI breakdown like Filmustage?

Yes. You import your screenplay (PDF, Final Draft…) and the AI extracts scenes, sets, characters, extras, costumes, props and effects, then derives the budget and the shooting schedule.
What's the real difference with Filmustage?
+
Soldum ties the budget and shooting schedule directly to the breakdown (and recalculates them as the project changes) and bills per account rather than per user, so inviting your team costs nothing extra.
Is a subscription required?
+
Soldum runs on a monthly or annual subscription (25% off yearly), billed per account rather than per user. A 7-day free trial lets you test the breakdown, then the budget and schedule that follow from it.
