Questions & answers

Working with Checkbook

Pricing, budgeting and crew access

  • Use Checkbook in one project on the free plan. Paid plans are per workspace and start at €29 a month before tax. People opening a view-only link do not need an account or an additional full seat.

  • Build production budgets, comment on line items, compare versions and share a PDF or link. Checkbook currently does not replace quotation or invoicing software. Development is ongoing.

  • Workspace owners, admins and producers have access to the figures. Access for assistants can be turned off in workspace settings. Project guests cannot access budgets or day rates.

  • No. Recipients can open the callsheet link in a browser without signing up. With personal delivery links, you can track confirmations in the delivery overview.
