From what I ve gathered, there are a few interesting statistics available regarding screenwriting software usage. One key finding is that Final Draft remains the industry standard, especially among professional writers and those working in Hollywood. However, newer tools like Celtx and Fade In are gaining popularity, particularly with independent filmmakers and beginners due to their affordability and additional features, such as collaborative options.

Interestingly, some studies show that while Final Draft is widely used in the professional sphere, beginners and students tend to favor free or cheaper alternatives like Trelby or WriterDuet. The choice of software often depends on budget, collaboration needs, and whether or not the writer plans to work with others in the industry who use a specific tool.

If you are looking for detailed numbers and trends, I found a helpful article that covers screenwriting software statistics. It highlights the market share of various platforms and even delves into trends about how writers choose their tools based on their stage in the career.
