Boords: cost, fit and limits
Boords is a storyboarding and scripting web application made by Presentable Software Limited that lets agencies, filmmakers and in-house teams build storyboards and scripts, with AI image credits, a Storyboard Generator and a Script Generator.
What to know first
Boords publishes five paid-or-free tiers with monthly and yearly prices: Free, Solo at $39 per month, Pro at $75, Team at $125 and Agency at $250, each with a monthly AI image allowance that rises from 250 to 3,000. The vendor also names a Boords Agent and an MCP server. It is a visual planning product, so screenplay formatting is not its strength.

Who Boords is best for
Commercial directors and agencies
Team and Agency tiers add permissions, client-hidden comments and up to 30 users, which suits studios that present boards to clients and need internal notes kept private.
Solo filmmakers pitching a concept
Solo gives unlimited storyboards and scripts plus 250 AI images per month for one user, enough to visualize a short film or an ad before funding.
Teams already using AI assistants
The pricing page names an MCP server and a Boords Agent, which fits groups that want an outside assistant to act on boards.
Boords plans and pricing
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 5 active storyboards, 3 active scripts and 8 one-off sample AI image credits, with no credit card required. |
| Solo | $39 per month or $26 per month billed yearly | 1 user, unlimited storyboards and scripts, and 250 AI images per month; the yearly rate is quoted per month, so the annual outlay is $312. |
| Pro | $75 per month or $50 per month billed yearly | Up to 5 users, everything in Solo and 1,000 AI images per month, which makes it the first tier where a small team shares one subscription. |
| Team | $125 per month or $85 per month billed yearly | Up to 10 users, client-hidden comments, project permissions, templates, custom subdomain, two-factor authentication and 2,000 AI images per month. |
| Agency | $250 per month or $165 per month billed yearly | Up to 30 users, priority support, password rotation and 3,000 AI images per month; it is the largest self-serve tier before Enterprise. |

What Boords does
- Storyboard Generator
- Named as an AI tool on the pricing page, it produces storyboards from input material. How closely boards follow a script was not demonstrated in the pages read.
- Script Generator
- A second AI tool creates scripts, so a team can start from a text draft and move to frames. It is a scripts feature rather than a full screenplay-format editor.
- Monthly AI image allowances
- Images are metered per plan, from 250 on Solo to 3,000 on Agency, and the Free plan includes 8 one-off credits, which makes heavy visual work a plan decision.
- Client-safe review
- Team adds client-hidden comments and project-level permissions, and the FAQ says storyboards stay private until the user shares them, so outside reviewers can comment without seeing internal discussion.
- Boords Agent and MCP
- The pricing page names a Boords Agent and an MCP server, but it does not list specific third-party integrations or describe what the agent can do in detail.
How Boords handles your data
The pricing page states that storyboards stay private until the user shares them, according to the FAQ. It does not say whether customer content trains AI models, how long data is kept, where it is hosted or whether any certification applies. Enterprise lists single sign-on through SAML and Team lists two-factor authentication. Because a privacy or trust page was not opened, the vendor's policy was not checked for training or retention.
Where Boords falls short in practice
- Not a screenplay formatter. Scripts are supported, but no industry-format editor with pagination or revision tracking is named, so a feature-length writer should draft elsewhere and bring the result across.
- Image allowances cap volume. A feature-length storyboard can use many frames, and allowances start at 250 images per month on Solo, so large projects push a team toward Pro, Team or Agency.
- Enterprise-only SSO. SAML single sign-on is listed only for Enterprise, which is priced by contacting sales, so mid-size studios with identity requirements cannot see a price on the page read.

Alternatives to Boords
Boords: common questions
Does Boords have a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan allows 5 active storyboards and 3 active scripts, needs no credit card and includes 8 one-off sample AI image credits. Paid plans start at Solo, $39 per month or $26 per month billed yearly, with unlimited storyboards and scripts.
How many AI images does each Boords plan include?
Solo includes 250 AI images per month, Pro 1,000, Team 2,000 and Agency 3,000. The Free plan gives 8 one-off sample credits. Enterprise is sold by contact, and the page read did not state its allowance, so estimate the frames a project needs before choosing a tier.
Can Boords replace a screenwriting program?
Not on its own. Boords has a Script Generator and a scripts feature, but the pricing page names no industry-format editor, pagination or revision colors. Most writers draft in a screenplay editor and bring the script into Boords to plan shots.
Which Boords plan suits agencies working with clients?
Team at $125 per month, or $85 billed yearly, adds client-hidden comments, project-level permissions and a custom subdomain for up to 10 users. Agency at $250 per month, or $165 billed yearly, adds up to 30 users, priority support and password rotation.
Does Boords say whether my content trains AI?
Not on the pricing page we read. It says storyboards stay private until you share them, but it gives no statement about model training, retention or hosting, and Enterprise lists SAML single sign-on only. Ask the vendor directly before uploading client or unproduced material.
