Description
KitSlate serves as a web-based production management platform tailored for film and video studios, independent contractors, and production teams. The subscription-based toolkit integrates job inquiries and bookings with various records including crew and client information, equipment inventory, pricing lists, call sheets, contracts, quotes, invoices, expenses, and payroll for crew members. Teams have the ability to dispatch call sheets for individual confirmation, generate price quotes based on equipment and crew rates, convert approved quotes into invoices with links for online payments, and monitor receipts for specific jobs. The Media Center allows for file playback directly in the browser along with timecode comments; premium subscriptions enhance this with tools for reviewing camera files, managing audio tracks, precise frame controls, and generating transcripts. Transfer capabilities range from 5 GB per transfer on the free account to 500 GB on the Solo plan and up to 1 TB for the Studio and higher tiers. Additionally, free accounts come with a public profile and access to a marketplace for used gear; however, production management functionalities are reserved for paid plans, which are currently being offered by invitation only. Overall, KitSlate aims to streamline the complexities of production management in the film industry.
Description
Optivation brings the five jobs agencies run every week into one workspace: forms, databases, pages, time tracking and invoicing. You run the whole client lifecycle in one system, working from the same data at every step, not across five separate tools.
When a client fills in your intake form, their answers land straight in your database as a record. Each record opens into a full page, where the notes, files and sub-tasks for that client sit alongside a built-in timer. The hours you log there go onto an invoice generated from that same record, so the work and the billing stay in one place from first contact to payment.
The same records show up however you need them: a table for scanning, a board for tracking progress, a calendar for deadlines. Clients can book time with you through a booking page in the same workspace, and pages can be shared with a client when they need to see where things are at. AI Advisor opens against any record and draws out a summary and the action items, so a long brief turns into a list you can work from.
Optivation is made for independent consultants and small agency studios who bill hourly or on retainer. You can start on the free plan and move up when you need to. Solo is $19 a month. Studio is $49 a month and covers up to 3 seats, with each extra seat at $19 a month. Paid plans include a 30-day free trial, so you can set up a real client and run it end to end before you decide.
