InteScene as a SetHero alternative
InteScene is an all-in-one SetHero alternative for call sheets and on-set production, generating call sheets and sides from your schedule and breakdown automatically. It includes redaction, watermarked per-recipient PDFs, QR check-in and revision-colour version control, plus crew check-in timesheets, all connected to the breakdown, schedule and budget. Plans start free, paid tiers begin at GBP 12 per month, and every paid plan includes a two-week free trial.
SetHero is a well-known call-sheet and on-set production tool, so an alternative should make the nightly call sheet effortless and keep crew informed. InteScene generates a complete professional call sheet that assembles itself from the day's schedule, contacts, sunrise and sunset, weather forecast, full cast and scene lists, crew by department, locations, nearest hospital and safety notes. Every field is hand-editable and edits survive a refresh, and because the sheet is built from data already entered, it stays current when the schedule shifts rather than being rebuilt in Word each night. The distribution stack is built in: redaction of personal phones, emails and addresses, watermarked per-recipient PDFs for leak-tracing, QR check-in codes, and revision-colour version control with immutable issued snapshots. What sets InteScene apart is that the call sheet is one output of a connected production, not a standalone document. The same schedule and breakdown also produce day sides, DPRs, DOOD grids and more reports, and Daily Dispatch sends each crew member exactly the reports their role needs. On the day, crew check-in turns QR scans into payroll-ready timesheets that split regular, overtime and double-time against each person's contract and feed the budget's payable figure live. The whole app is responsive for phone and tablet, so what you build at the desk is what the crew uses on the floor. Plans start free, paid tiers run from GBP 12 per month with a two-week free trial.

Frequently asked questions
Is InteScene a good SetHero alternative?
InteScene is a good SetHero alternative for teams that want auto-generated call sheets and on-set tooling connected to the rest of the production. Call sheets and sides build themselves from the schedule and breakdown and stay current when plans change, with redaction, watermarked per-recipient PDFs, QR check-in and revision-colour control. Crew check-in then turns attendance into payroll-ready timesheets that feed the budget.
How does InteScene handle call-sheet distribution and privacy?
Each recipient gets a personalised call sheet: personal phones, emails and home addresses are redacted before sending, a name watermark is added for leak-tracing, and a QR check-in code lets people clock in by scanning their own sheet. An 'unmask own contact' option means each person sees only their own details. Re-sending the same day advances the revision colour with a REVISED banner and keeps immutable issued-version snapshots.
Can crew check in on set with InteScene?
Yes. InteScene has a live, set-floor attendance board where the AD checks people in and out with a tap, or crew scan a QR poster or their own call-sheet PDF to clock themselves in with no app and no login. Logged hours flow into timesheets that split each person's time into regular, overtime and double-time, priced against their individual contract, and export to CSV or PDF for payroll while feeding the budget's payable figure live.
How much does InteScene cost?
InteScene offers a Free tier plus Indie at GBP 12 per month, Production at GBP 20 per month and Studio at GBP 25 per month. Call sheets and reports are included from the Indie tier, and crew check-in from the Production tier. Every paid plan includes a two-week free trial, and pricing is also available in USD, EUR, CAD and AUD. Sign up at https://intescene.app/signup.
