Greenlight Coverage

Greenlight Coverage is an AI script coverage service that analyzes screenplays and returns professional-style coverage in minutes, for screenwriters, producers and development executives who cannot wait weeks for readers. It goes beyond a single report: you can question the script afterward, get budget and financial projections, and in some cases submit the project to working producers. That mix of feedback and industry access is what separates it from asking a general chatbot about your script.

What is Greenlight Coverage used for?

Greenlight Coverage is used to judge where a screenplay stands and what to fix before it goes out to the market.

• Getting a coverage report on a feature screenplay or TV pilot within minutes
• Asking follow-up questions about characters, structure or scenes, with context kept across a script or a full season
• Using rewrite, proofreading and polisher tools on specific pages
• Producing a film budget breakdown and financial forecast for a project
• Reviewing audience insights to understand who the film is likely to reach
• Submitting scripts to producers through Greenlight Opportunities or entering The Greenlight List contest

Who Greenlight Coverage is best for

Greenlight Coverage suits working and aspiring screenwriters revising drafts, producers screening submissions, development executives handling high volumes, and film students. It is also offered for book analysis. Writers who only want line editing, or who prefer a single trusted human reader for nuanced creative notes, may not need it.

Greenlight Coverage pricing

As of October 2026, Greenlight Coverage offers a free trial that gives key insights on an uploaded screenplay at no cost. Paid plans billed monthly are Basic at $75 per month for up to two screenplays a month, Essential at $129 per month for up to five, and Pro at $345 per month for up to 15, with faster delivery and more follow-up questions and Greenlight Tokens on higher tiers. Billed annually, the same plans cost $50, $90 and $260 per month. Unused uploads roll over for up to three months, and Greenlight offers a full refund within the first month if you find the notes unhelpful. Check the pricing page for current terms.

Greenlight Coverage limitations

• Each plan caps how many screenplays you can cover per month or year
• Basic includes only a limited number of follow-up questions
• Access to producer opportunities depends on your rank on Basic and Essential
• AI coverage cannot judge market timing or personal taste the way a seasoned executive can

Greenlight Coverage vs alternatives

Sudowrite helps you write and rewrite scenes with AI, which is a different job from evaluating a finished draft. Squibler offers screenplay writing tools with AI drafting help. ChatGPT and Claude can give feedback on an uploaded script for a lower monthly cost, but you have to design your own coverage format and they offer no budgets, scoring history or producer submissions. Greenlight Coverage wins when you want an industry-style coverage package fast, plus production planning and a route to buyers.

Tips for getting started with Greenlight Coverage

Use the free trial on a script that has already received human notes, so you can compare the two. Prepare specific follow-up questions about your weakest act or character, since targeted questions get more useful answers than general ones. If you plan to submit to producers, read how the ranking system works before choosing a plan.
