Everything below is optional and off by default. Elite screenwriters choose what the public sees: headshot, bio, home genre, their slate, and — if they want it — their average Armageddon Score.

Armageddon Coins

Coins buy complete reads and unlock score-only reports you already ran. No subscription needed, and coins never expire.
WHAT A FULL READ COSTS
A half-hour pilot is not the same amount of work as a 400-page novel, so a full read is priced by format and by length. Normal-length work pays the flat price below; only unusually long pages add a coin, one per extra 120 pages.
Television
1 coin · $9.99 · up to 75 pages
Pilots, half-hours and limited-series episodes run short, so they cost one coin.
Feature film
2 coins · $19.98 · up to 140 pages
A feature-length screenplay is two coins for the complete read.
Stage play
2 coins · $19.98 · up to 150 pages
A full-length stage play is two coins for the complete read.
Book / Novel
3 coins · $29.97 · up to 250 pages
A book or novel is three coins — it is by far the longest read Don Chuy does.
Every format is still scored on fifteen categories out of 225 — the categories are just renamed to fit the medium. Elite opens at 205 for feature film and book work, and at 210 for television and stage pages, which are read on a tighter ruler. A limited 60-page read always costs one limited credit, whatever the format.
1 Armageddon Coin
$9.99
One full Don Chuy Assessment, or one unlock of a report you already ran.

10 Red Pen Passes
$12.99
A full pass over a problem act, at less than half the single rate.

Sign up and 2 complete 15-category Don Chuy Assessments are yours immediately — same four-stage pipeline paying members get, whole screenplay, every category, the full rewrite plan. Then 3 extra limited reads that return your overall Armageddon Score plus 3 randomly unlocked categories. An account is all it takes to test a screenplay here.
Create my free accountThe cheap factor
Hollywood charges hundreds. We charge coffee money.
A single professional read costs more than a full year of Scriptageddon. We are not cheaper because we are smaller — we are cheaper because the whole thing was built for screenwriters instead of built to bill them. This is the home base for screenwriters everywhere: 2 full assessments free, $9.99 a script after that, or $4.99 a month for 15 full assessments.

Prices are the services’ own published rates and change without notice. We list them so you can check us honestly, not to knock anyone: several of them do fine work. They simply cost a rewrite’s worth of rent.
What free users always keep
Free accounts get 5 submissions in total: 2 complete premium assessments, then 3 score-only reads that still return your overall Armageddon Score, a rotating 3 of the 15 category results, and general feedback. A one-time assessment can be spent either way: unlock one of those score-only reports in full, or run a brand-new screenplay end to end.

Why Elite is worth chasing
Silver leaf laurel starts at 150.0 and runs to 204.9. Gold leaf laurel and Elite status begin at 205.0 and top out at the full 225. Scoring 205+ puts your pages at the front of the verified industry desk, earns a permanent laurel on the Wall of Fame, gets you a written craft note from the front office, and reserves your spot in every contest we run. It is the one level money cannot open.
