Final Draft features for a fraction of the price
Screenwriting app Final Draft rules the entertainment world, and claims to be used in 95% of lm and TV productions. It’s very good, but it’s also expensive: $249, or $129 if you qualify for an educational discount. Highland 2 promises to deliver the Final Draft features you need for a fifth of the price, and with some flourishes of its own.
It’s important to differentiate screenwriting, which is a process, from script formatting. You can write and format a script in any writing app – Game of Thrones was written in WordStar 4.0 running on MS-DOS, for example – and many apps have templates that take care of the formatting for you.
