# Email Marketing Platform Evaluation
**Purpose:** Select email platform for Scripter launch campaign
**Decision needed:** Month 8, Week 1
**Budget:** ~$100/month (from $200 tools budget)
## Recommendation: ConvertKit
**Why:** Best fit for waitlist + launch campaign

- Within budget (~$79/mo for 10K subscribers)
## Alternatives Considered
| Platform | Price (10K) | Pros | Cons |
|----------|-------------|------|------|
| Mailchimp | ~$50/mo | Free tier, ubiquitous | Spammy reputation |
| HubSpot | ~$800/mo | Full CRM | Overkill, expensive |
| Customer.io | ~$150/mo | Behavioral triggers | Steep learning curve |
## Next Steps
1. Set up ConvertKit account
2. Create welcome sequence (3 emails)
3. Integrate with landing page form

## Email 2: Problem/Solution Education
**Send:** Day 3 after signup
**Subject:** Why we're building Scripter
**Body:**
```
[First Name],
Here's the thing about screenwriting software...
WriterDuet is good. But it's built on tech from 2015.
Final Draft charges $199 for a desktop app with no real-time collaboration.
Celtx went freemium and got absorbed into StudioBinder.
We asked 500+ screenwriters what was broken. Here's what we heard:
**The Problems:**
❌ Slow desktop apps (Electron is heavy)
❌ No AI features (it's 2026!)
❌ Free tiers that cap you at 3 projects
❌ No API or integrations
❌ Video chat costs extra
**The Scripter Solution:**
✅ Tauri desktop apps (native speed, single codebase)
✅ AI that actually helps you write (not just a gimmick)
✅ Unlimited projects on free tier
✅ Open API for integrations
✅ Built-in video chat for collaboration
**Beta Access:**
We're onboarding 500 beta users in Month 9. You're on the list.
Invite friends to move up: [Your Referral Link]

**Subject:** [First Name], X,XXX writers are waiting...
**Body:**
```

Quick update: [X,XXX] screenwriters have joined the Scripter waitlist.
Here's what they're excited about:
**"Finally, a screenwriting tool that doesn't feel like it's from 2015."**
— Beta tester, LA
**"The AI formatting alone saves me 30 minutes per session."**
— Beta tester, NYC
**Beta spots are limited to 500 writers.**

# Scripter Press One-Pager
**For:** Media outreach, investor briefings, partner conversations
**Version:** 1.0 | **Date:** April 2026

## The Problem
Screenwriters are stuck using tools built for a different era:
- **WriterDuet** (2M users) runs on aging Firebase + React tech — slow desktop app, limited free tier (3 projects), no AI
- **Final Draft** charges $199 one-time for desktop-only software with no real-time collaboration
- **Celtx** went freemium, got acquired, lost focus on core writing experience
Writers told us:
> "My desktop app takes 30 seconds to launch. It's 2026."
> "I can't collaborate with my writing partner without paying $12/month each."
> "Why doesn't screenwriting software have AI in 2026?"
