Find out why your script isn't hitting (and fix it)

Turn "this feels off" into clear feedback + improvements.

Scrptly script evaluator with a script input and Score & start chat button.

What this helps you do

Turn "this feels off" into clear feedback + improvements.

When to use this

  • You wrote a script but it doesn't feel right
  • Your content isn't performing and you don't know why

How it works

  1. Paste your script
  2. (Optional) choose a creator to score against
  3. Tap "Score and start chat"

What you'll get

  • A score
  • What's working
  • What's not
  • Specific improvements

Then you can:

  • Rewrite to improve the score
  • Rewrite in a creator's style
  • Generate new hooks
  • Ask for custom feedback

What to do next

  • Fix your hook first (biggest impact)
  • Re-score after rewriting
  • Keep iterating until it feels sharp

What 939 scored scripts show

Scrptly has scored 939 scripts. The median script scores 65 out of 100 overall, with a median hook of 6, pacing of 6 and retention of 7, each out of 10.

The most useful number in that set is this one: in 638 of the 939 scripts, so roughly two in three, the hook scored lower than the script did overall. The weakest part of most scripts is the first line, and it is the part the writer is least likely to suspect.

650 of those scripts came back with a rewritten version alongside the score, so the feedback is not only a verdict. You can see the same idea written to hold attention, and compare it line by line with what you wrote.

192 different people have scored a script in Scrptly so far, and the median script they submit runs 795 characters, which is roughly a minute of speech. Only 38 of the 939 scored 80 or above, so a high score is genuinely hard to get. That is the point of scoring before you film rather than after: the draft that would have scored 52 is cheap to fix on the page and expensive to fix once it is shot.
