Jungle Software has been providing film production software since 2002.
We have seen countless companies and individuals come and go in that time trying to compare themselves to us and to provide scheduling and budgeting software to filmmakers. While we encourage healthy competition, in fact, welcome it, here are a few reasons you should consider our software over the competition.
Feature Set
While many of the competition has a nice set of features, no one has as many features as Gorilla. Since we have been around for over 2 decades, we have listened to our customers when it comes to adding new features. We usually release an update each month with either new features, enhancements, and/or bug fixes. We want our software to be the best out there — and it shows.
Tech Support
We are known for our excellent tech support and response time to our customers. You can e-mail us at support@junglesoftware.come, chat us online during business hours, and get this — you can CALL US. Go to our competitor sites and see if they have a phone number you can call. And yes, we are in the located in the United States right outside of Lose Angeles in beautiful Simi Valley, California.
Price
Compare our prices to the competition. We have very competitive prices, especially if you go for the annual subscription where you can save 35%.
Screenplay Integration
Gorilla supports all the major screenplay formats, including Final Draft, Movie Magic Screenwriter, and a PDF script. In fact, Gorilla has more Final Draft-friendly features than any other film scheduling software, including importing Locations and Shots from Final Draft. In fact, if you have a little time and really want to see how well Gorilla integrates with Final Draft compared to the other scheduling programs, watch this video: Final Draft and Gorilla Integration.
No-Tier Pricing!
Many of our competitors offer free versions of their software with very limited, almost non-usable features, and then when they do charge you they have ‘tiered’ pricing. Pay more and you get ‘this feature’. Pay even more and you can actually create a schedule! We don’t do that. If you get Gorilla, ALL FEATURES are available to you. Period.
Training Videos
We have hundreds of hours of FREE easy-to-follow training videos to help both the student and the professional. You will learn from the best — each lesson is not only a step-by-step tutorial, but the lessons have filmmaking tips and will tremendously help you with your production and planning process.

They Go Together…
Scheduling and Budgeting go together. We are the ONLY solution that offers a product that seamlessly combines Scheduling & Budgeting.
Though there are other competitors offering Scheduling and Budgeting solutions, below you can see many of the differences between Gorilla and Movie Magic.
