Video review software compared: 13 tools and who each one is for

There is no single best tool: the right one depends on your editing app, how many people need a seat, and whether clients or regulators are involved. Here is what each tool costs and does, from its own pages, so you can match it to how you work.

We make post-prod.io, which is listed first. Every other entry is from that tool's own pages, linked under it, read in the month shown. We have not tested or scored them; prices change, so check before you buy.

Tool	Pick it if	Pricing starts
post-prod.io	You want every editor and client in without counting seats, and reviewers who show an edit instead of describing it.	Free: 10 GB, unlimited members. Paid plans opening soon: Creator $19, Studio $49, Agency $129 a month per team
Frame.io	You shoot with Camera to Cloud, live inside Premiere, or need certified enterprise security.	$0, up to 2 member seats, 2 GB storage, 2 projects.
Vimeo review	You want one place to host, share and review, and the finished video lives on Vimeo anyway.	Not listed on the pages we read
Wipster	You want review inside Premiere, Final Cut or After Effects through a panel, or need an SLA.	$9.95 a month billed annually or $11.95 billed monthly, 50 GB.
Krock.io	You want plugins inside your editing app, or storyboards in the same tool.	$0, 1 user, 2 GB, 2 projects, unlimited reviewers.
Filestage	You review many kinds of files, or you work in a regulated industry that needs audit trails.	€0, 2 GB, 10 team members, 1 active project and 5 new files a month.
Google Drive	Feedback is light, one reviewer, one round, and everyone already lives in Google Drive.	Not listed on the pages we read
Dropbox Replay	Your footage already lives in Dropbox and your team is on a Dropbox plan.	An add-on priced per user. The page we read showed £8 per user a month billed annually, or £10 billed monthly, on top of a Dropbox Plus plan or higher.
Ziflow	You need SOC 2 or ISO 27001, SSO, or multi-stage approval workflows across many file types.	Personal: $0. 2 users, 2 GB storage, 1 workflow stage, review history kept for 60 days.
ReviewStudio	You proof many kinds of creative files and want task tracking and project-tool integrations.	Starter: free. 3 active reviews in total, 5 GB storage in total, unlimited guests.
Kollaborate	You want approval chains, or tools that work inside Premiere and Final Cut.	Basic is $7 a month, or $60 a year, with 30 GB. Individual plans have no team members.
MediaSilo	Your clients need SOC 2 or TPN, you want mobile or Apple TV apps, or you need SSO.	A 14-day free trial: up to 3 seats, 50 GB.
iconik	You need to manage a large media library, with review as one part of it.	Usage-based, no commitment. Collaborator $0 a month, Browse User $9, Standard User $65, Power User $120.

How to choose

• Your editing app. Some tools live inside Premiere or Final Cut as a panel; others send notes to your editor as markers.
• Who needs a seat. Per-member pricing gets expensive as a team grows; check whether reviewers and clients count.
• What reviewers can do. Notes on the frame and drawing are common; versions side by side, approvals and suggested edits less so.
• Security and compliance. If clients ask for SOC 2, ISO 27001, TPN or SSO, shortlist the tools that state them.
• What else it is. Some are review tools; others are hosting platforms, media libraries or general proofing tools with video in them.

Questions

What is video review software?

A place to upload a cut and collect feedback on it: notes pinned to the exact frame, drawings on the picture, replies, versions to compare and an approval, usually with share links so clients can review without an account.

Which video review tools have a free plan?

Several list one: Frame.io, Krock.io, Filestage, Ziflow and ReviewStudio among the tools here, and post-prod.io. Limits on members, storage and projects differ a lot; each entry below says what its free plan includes.

Which tools charge per member and which per team?

Most here charge per member or per user (Frame.io, Wipster's Team plan, Krock.io's Pro, ReviewStudio, MediaSilo). Filestage, Ziflow and Kollaborate list flat team prices with a set number of users. post-prod.io is one price per team with unlimited members.

Do reviewers need an account?

On most of these tools, no: clients and reviewers open a share link and comment. Each entry notes how its reviewers get in.
