A StudioBinder alternative for running the company, not the shoot day

These two tools answer different questions, and the fastest way to choose badly is to assume they compete. StudioBinder is best known for the craft of getting a production onto the floor. 360 is built for the business around it — the pipeline of jobs, who is booked when, which relationships bring the work in, and whether the company is covering its overheads. Plenty of companies genuinely need both.

  • Company-level operations rather than shoot-day paperwork
  • Pipeline, roster capacity, CRM and financial reporting in one platform
  • Built for production companies as businesses, not for individual productions

Two different problems, honestly stated

The question worth asking is which problem is currently costing you more. If jobs are slipping because the shoot day is chaotic, that is a production-logistics problem. If jobs are slipping because nobody knows what is in the pipeline, who is free next month, or which client has gone quiet, that is a company-operations problem — and no amount of better call sheets will fix it.

  • Shoot-day logistics and company operations are separate jobs
  • Buying the wrong one leaves the actual bottleneck untouched
  • Many companies end up running one of each, deliberately

What 360 is for

360 holds the layer above the individual production: every project from first request to archive, the roster timeline that answers whether you can take a job on, the relationship graph that shows where the next brief will come from, and a management report measured against your breakeven target. It is the system the producers and the leadership share.

  • Pipeline across every project the company has in play
  • Capacity across directors, producers and freelancers
  • Relationship map and financial reporting for the business itself

Choose StudioBinder if…

  • Your central problem is the shoot day itself — the paperwork, the crew, the schedule on the floor
  • You work project-by-project and do not need a company-wide pipeline view
  • You need production documents your crew already recognises on set

Choose 360 if…

  • You want one board for every project the company has in play, not one production at a time
  • You need to answer "can we take this on, and with whom" from a real roster
  • Your next job depends on relationships you cannot currently see
  • Leadership needs revenue, win rates and breakeven without a month-end spreadsheet

Common questions

Can we use both?
Yes, and some companies should. They sit at different altitudes — one runs the production, the other runs the company that takes the production on.
Does 360 do call sheets and shot lists?
No. Shoot-day documents are deliberately outside what we build. We cover the company layer: pipeline, capacity, relationships and the numbers.
How do we tell which we need first?
Ask where the money is actually leaking. If it is chaos on the day, start there. If it is jobs falling through the pipeline, double-bookings, or a quarter you cannot read until it is over, start with 360.
