# CineoBoard vs StudioBinder

Canonical URL: https://www.cineoboard.com/vs/studiobinder

StudioBinder manages the shoot: call sheets, schedules and breakdowns. CineoBoard owns the pre-visual stage with local-first boards, shot management, Slack and Teams, an agent API and an in-board assistant.

## Verdict

These two overlap less than the search results suggest. StudioBinder is strongest once the shoot is being organised; CineoBoard is strongest before that, while the board is still changing every day. Many teams run both.

## Feature comparison

## Choose CineoBoard if

- Your bottleneck is boarding and client revisions, not call sheets
- You want fast first-pass frames with consistent characters
- You want the board to work offline and be driven by an API or an agent

## Choose StudioBinder if

- Your bottleneck is scheduling, breakdowns and call sheets
- You need one system for shoot-day paperwork across a large crew

## Different halves of pre-production

StudioBinder's centre of gravity is logistics: who is on set, when, with what. Its storyboard module exists to feed that machine.

CineoBoard's centre of gravity is the picture: what the shot looks like, whether the sequence reads, and whether the client signed off on it. The shot list, timing and animatic all come out of that same document.

## Running both without duplicate work

Because CineoBoard exports CSV shot lists and PDF decks, and exposes the project over an API, feeding a logistics tool is a scheduled job rather than a retyping exercise. An agent such as Codex can push the current shot list downstream every time the board changes.

- CSV shot lists with thumbnails, durations and camera data
- PDF and PPTX board decks for client and crew
- API access to scenes, shots and exports

## The short version

CineoBoard is a local-first storyboarding app called Reframe paired with a cloud workspace for projects, scenes and shot management. Boards render and play back on your own machine, then sync to a shared project layer with Slack and Microsoft Teams notifications, an API and CLI that agentic coding tools such as Codex can drive, and an Intercom-grade CineoBoard Assistant that answers questions, edits and organises work inside the board.

## FAQ

### Do I need to drop StudioBinder to use CineoBoard?

No. Most teams board and review in CineoBoard, then export the shot list into whatever runs their shoot day.
