Feature
Storiara
Gorilla Scheduling
Cloud Platform
Access anywhere, automatic backups, and real-time collaboration.

Smart Scheduling
Scheduling logic recommends optimal shoot days, locations, and crew priorities.
Stripboards are manual drag-and-drop without smart recommendations.

No smart visual tools; assets must be created in other apps.
Budget & Reports
Budgets, ratecards, and insights update automatically with every scene change.
Requires a separate budgeting tool and manual report assembly.
Call Sheets
Auto-generated with smart data, drill-down notes, and instant delivery.
Call sheets come from add-ons that need extra setup.
Real-Time Collaboration
Crew, producers, and vendors see updates as automation refines schedules.
Collaboration limited to manual file sharing.
Modern Analytics
Automated insights highlight conflicts and recommend solutions.
Analytics require exporting data and manual spreadsheets.
