Final Draft 9 review on TopTenReviews.com
This is not because Final Draft is dramatically better than the rest of the best screenwriting software, but because it is ubiquitous. It's the one constant across the entire movie-making world. Any writer, producer, director, agent or other professional who deals with screenplays is intimately familiar with both the Final Draft software and the files it creates. This is what "industry standard" means.
But simple ubiquity doesn't make Final Draft the best screenwriting software. Nor does its widespread use earn it our TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award. Final Draft earns these distinctions because it is simple, powerful and effective screenwriting software that is accessible to beginners and a valuable tool for professionals.
