I think it's hella overpriced. For $75/month you get 2 scripts reviewed. and 10 follow up questions/month. 1 hour delivery
A pro plan w/Claude is $17. you can ask infinite questions - and not just on a screenplay. Reponses are in moments. I gave it one of my scripts and asked it to convert it into novelization format (past tense, quotes, etc) and it did it in an instant.
If you've got the coin it's probably worth it to get SOME sort of feedback, but I'd be highly suspect of any sort of flattery/comparisons/high scores. Like any platform, they want you to keep coming back.
I use Claude.AI to interrogate my scripts and novels to get answers, not affirmations.
For example, you can feed in the Nicholl Scoring Rubric and guide it to give you an evaluation. If you write a good prompt, you'll get something actionable. (If you don't know how to write a good prompt, you can have Claude guide you in the creation of one).
You can take these questions, as a basis for a prompt, sharpen them up and use it to look for weak spots.
But the prompt, and critique are less important than getting pushback. IMHO anything that has you questioning your assumptions and looking at your work with fresh eyes is a tool worth using.
I know a lot of people hate AI, but I'm a technologist by trade, so my opinions are a bit more nuanced. But these tools aren't meant to replace human judgement, but at a minimum you can use them to save your writing group from having to read some half-baked prose that hasn't gone through a sanity check first. DM me if you are looking for a script writing group to join.
It does look like AI - I have worked for. many years at one of the top literary/talent agencies and also another new, big company - and we never use AI for notes/critiques/coverage! But afraid some of these places do :( Toua Her
Coverage is such a make or break moment for a script! It's one of those things where the notes can genuinely elevate your work if you approach it with an open mind rather than defensively. What's been your experience with it so far?

Awful. It's AI. If that's what you want open a free, limited Chat GPT or Claude account. You'll get at least one read.

Agreed to an extent, James Fleming, but there's still nothing like a good human reader who gives actionable and honest yet supportive notes.

Definitely. It's a one hour turnaround. And frickin' expensive.
