Frame.io

A review tool, pointed at a collection problem.

Frame.io is excellent and post-production teams are right to use it. It is built for the end of the process, though: a cut that needs comments, versions and approval. Getting raw photos off a dozen phones at a tasting, and knowing what is in them, is the other end.

Being fair about it

For review and approval, nothing here competes.

Frame-accurate comments, version stacks, an approval trail. If you are running an edit past a client, use Frame.io. We do not do any of that and are not trying to.

Price may not even be your objection.

Published plans run $15 per user per month on Pro and $25 on Team, checked 21 August 2026. It is also included at no extra cost with a Creative Cloud All Apps, Premiere Pro or After Effects subscription, which many teams reading this already have. So price may not be your objection at all. The shape is.

Side by side

The differences that actually change your week.

	Frame.io	Team Capture
Built for	Reviewing and approving a cut	Collecting everything the team takes, and on Team, filing it
Who uses it	Editors and clients	Everyone working the event
The unit	An asset and its versions	An event, and everything the team sent
After a file lands	Comments, versions and approval	On Team, the AI labels what is in it, so it can be found by describing it
Pricing	Per user, per month	Flat per workspace, never per person
Casual contributors	Another seat each	Included in the plan
Capture on a phone	Not the point of the product	The whole point of the product

Where it stops working

The people taking photos are not the people reviewing.

Most of your contributors will open the app for ninety seconds a month. Giving each of them a review seat is paying for a tool they will never open.

You want the pile before you want opinions on it.

Approval matters once the material exists and somebody knows what is in it. The step that fails at an event is earlier than that.

The two happily coexist.

Collect here, cut elsewhere, review in Frame.io. Nothing about this asks you to stop using it.

Which one you want

Frame.io starts after the step that breaks.

If your problem is getting a client to sign off on an edit, use Frame.io. If your problem is that four hundred photos were taken at the launch, you received eleven, and nobody can find the good ones, that happens weeks before Frame.io is involved.
