In order to offset the high ongoing cost of development, we are forced to price our product as a specialized solution. We don’t have the luxury of making up dev cost over a mass distribution model. Because we don’t build general purpose business solutions our market is of a particular size. Our software a very feature rich product, but one that serves a specialized user. We’ve earned that reputation one loyal writer at a time. It’s said that if you are serious about screenwriting, you use Final Draft. To this day, our primary focus is on the working writer. Final Draft is a Hollywood based company that was started at the grass roots level by real screenwriters. Also, please understand that we are small company serving a niche market.

While random crashes can happen in any software, I’m not aware of anyone who is experiencing a consistent crashing of Final Draft. We have a dedicated live support team and a QA department who’s sole purpose is to ensure the integrity of our applications. In my world a “crash” is a priority ticket.
