Drop Day: The Production Budget Builder 🏗️ (Drop #3) + finally, a 10-Day Free Trial 💝
Two drops, one day. Try it all for free.
It's here 🧱
The Production Budget Builder is live! Along with a 10-day free trial of Pro. 🔆
We built this because Excel hell is real and full of errors & broken links that take forever to fix.
Spending 4 hours on a budget that should take 15 minutes. Forgetting line items. Starting over when it crashes.

literally moi, in the google spreadsheet before building this tool…
What this new tool does 🛠️

Savable templates with 200+ potential line items

Clean PDFs that don't look like Excel slop ⬇️

Built from experience running high-end commercial productions
The same tools we currently use at our studio and production company, FLOWERS, on six-figure productions
Prompts for costs everyone forgets (so you’re not in the red later)

The math, again
Most creatives undercharge by 15-30%. Not because they want to—because they're guessing at rates, forgetting line items, or simply don’t know they exist.
One properly priced job pays for a year of Pro and then some. That's the point.
Try it out
