Saturation

Financial operating system for production teams

Visit Saturation

Saturation is a cloud-based production finance platform for film, television and commercial productions. It brings budgeting, actuals, purchase orders, receipts, expense cards, approvals and cost reports into one workspace, helping teams keep the financial picture current from the first budget through final reporting. It supports collaboration across projects and workspaces, with access controls that can limit collaborators to specific budget sections.

Core capabilities include collaborative budgeting with line items, rates, fringes and actuals; industry-standard templates for feature film, TV, commercial and other formats; universal imports from Movie Magic, Showbiz, Hot Budget, Excel and other table exports; and a public API and MCP server for connecting external tools and AI assistants. Integrations cover banking, accounting, payroll, automation and collaboration, including QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Wrapbook, Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, Asana, Airtable, Zapier and Plaid. Expense management includes virtual and physical cards, receipt capture, bill pay and transaction categorization, with role-based approval routing and audit trails.

Saturation is aimed at independent producers, freelancers, production companies, studios and networks. It offers a free Creator plan for one active project and one seat, paid Pro and Team editions with additional projects, seats, storage and integrations, and an Enterprise edition priced on seats, entities and required controls. Paid plans include a 14-day free trial.
