Plot is free for your first three projects and you can work with one collaborator. Plot was created by Adrian Thompson, who drew on his previous experience creating animated videos to design a quicker way to organize and revise storyboards. Toon Boom currently offers a 21-day trial of the program that allows you to explore the full program before committing to the hefty $38 monthly subscription price. Storyboard Pro is used by studios worldwide and it is a robust program that allows you to do all of your work in one program - from thumbnails to camera angles. Most also give you the option to save the project as a PDF that can be printed or shared digitally.

Many of the programs offer similar features like drag and drop editing, drawing, feedback and other collaboration tools. However, there are several programs that offer free, limited versions that will give you a taste of how the program works before you commit to purchasing it.

There’s an old saying that goes, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Well, there’s no such thing as totally free storyboarding software.
