Considered Both Products	Frame.io MR Mike Roth Video Content Creator Chose Frame.io We use Vimeo for hosting videos on our portfolio page, and for that, Vimeo is superior. However for multiple stakeholders reviewing a video to give notes, frame.io seemed to be superior and more intuitive. Incentivized Helpful? AS Alyssa Schmidt Video Editor Chose Frame.io Frame.io is better when being compared to the google drive as a platform just because of the usability. Frame.io has a more simple design format, that makes organizing projects and file structures much more readily available when doing a quick search. The ability to review and … Incentivized Helpful? PK Peter Kappes Sr. Video Production and Digital Media Manager Chose Frame.io The other platforms are not digital asset management tools. Frame.io is entirely different and works perfect for our digital assets Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Frame.io We have not evaluated any competitors of Frame.io. Are there any? Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Frame.io We previously used Wipster to edit our films but switched to Frame.io when we needed a more robust system that allowed for user permissions, more types of edits (text & drawing), and an archive option for finished films. We are a year into the switch and are happy with the … Incentivized Helpful? JM Joel McAfee Producer Chose Frame.io Frame is easily the most efficient video review service of the options i've tried. Wipster is a close second, followed by Vimeo. Trello is listed only b/c it can be tailored for whatever need you have - though I recognize it isn't a true video review system. Wipster's drawbacks … Incentivized Helpful? HH Hilary Hobbs Video Specialist Chose Frame.io We used to use Dropbox as our main point of uploading and holding videos, but it was such a hassle because our edits came separately. It was almost just used as storage, and we had to have a separate email(s) with all of the edits coming from different departments. With … Incentivized Helpful? CH Chris Hecox Business Owner Chose Frame.io I last used Wipster around 4-5 months ago, but I felt downtrodden by both their business practices and interface. Wipster sprung a new pricing model on users. This pricing model made no sense, was extremely pricey for no reason, and felt like a punch in the gut by a new and … Incentivized Helpful?	WeTransfer PC Patricia Calleja Creative Copywriter Chose WeTransfer I did not choose to use Image Relay, the client did. I really like Image Relay and the fact that you can organize files in different folders, but not the fact that you have to create an account, have access to all the files and folders, and remind passwords. With WeTransfer … Incentivized Helpful? Doug Harrison Director of Client Services Chose WeTransfer WeTransfer doesn't require storage. You just send the files and you're done! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose WeTransfer Dropbox is too complex and unreliable to use. I have had many headaches with files not downloading properly, going missing or not opening. I have to spend a lot of time to figure out what I need to do. And just as you think you have everything under control, you set up a nice … Incentivized Helpful? Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Chose WeTransfer While Dropbox is more robust with storage and ways to share, it's often cumbersome to send files, especially with clients that don't use Dropbox. WeTransfer sends my clients a link that results in an immediate download - no fuss, no having to log in. The process is much easier, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose WeTransfer Both solutions work fairly seamlessly. But we prefer Dropbox because we can more easily track our files across devices and across the organization. They are equal when it comes to sending files, but receiving files is where some friction points/frustration points arise. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Anderson Audio Engineer/ Editor Chose WeTransfer WeTransfer is much faster and cuts out a lot of the extra steps of the other services we've used. It can automatically email the recipient when the file upload is done, cutting out a step. Incentivized Helpful? Ann M. Frank Digital Asset Management and Art Buyer Chose WeTransfer We actually use both other platforms because we may be required to by our clients or vendors. I find We Transfer easier to use especially remotely - quicker to upload and send. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Hecox Business Owner Chose WeTransfer Dropbox is a terrible and slow service, so WeTransfer is the far better option between the two. Google Drive isn't as professional as WeTransfer (in my opinion) so using WeTransfer might be the better option. Incentivized Helpful? Daryl Wise Jr. Founder/Owner Chose WeTransfer The listed alternative are also very good but we have specifically used WeTransfer for it's simple and straight to the point file hosting.

User Testimonials
	Frame.io	WeTransfer
Likelihood to Recommend	By far Frame is the best video review service out there mainly due to how easy it is to introduce to new users, including on the client side. There is not much instruction required in order to share and edit with a client and ask them to start providing feedback - the system is designed to invite users to give notes and that alone is worth the money. Incentivized JM Joel McAfee Producer Read full review	I would definitely recommend WeTransfer - especially the paid version. I feel like all of the shortcomings with the free service (file size limit & content deletion after 7 days) are all fixed when you upgrade your account, and the service is not very expensive. It only costs $12/monthly or $120/annually. WeTransfer makes it so easy to send files, and the additional features such as creating a link to your content & password protection are great. Very straightforward & easy to use. Incentivized Aubrey Miles Finance Administrator Read full review
Pros	Frame.io easily collects edits submitted by internal or external team members. Frame.io allows our internal team to keep track of edits on films and have internal communication regarding edits and still keep everything within the platform. Frame.io allows our links to films to be tracked and expire if need be. The upload speeds to frame and from Frame to Vimeo or Dropbox are fast!

Cons	There have been a couple of times that the review links I have sent have not worked, and it crashed sitewide. I think Frame.io is still working out some kinks, but when I have a tight deadline it's frustrating getting blamed for a broken link when it's Frame.io's website having a meltdown. I would like to be able to export all the timecoded edits directly to my timeline instead of having to reference the website or extension in Premiere. There may already be a way to have this done, but I haven't seen it or it hasn't been properly explained. It's a mild inconvenience to automatically be signed up to get an email for every single edit that has taken place in my video. I know this is a reach, but there isn't much to complain about when it comes to Frame.io. I had to manually go in and opt out of the hundreds of emails I was getting sent for someone just leaving comments on my upload. Incentivized Hilary Hobbs Video Specialist Read full review	The price for Pro is a bit high. A way for free users to save an address book. The offline app isn't as robust as the web client. Incentivized Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Read full review
Usability	I've used other video review systems, Frame was the only one I didn't question how they allowed you to review - I just started reviewing. It's that simple. It's easy to set up projects, invite collaborators, and then provide a final cut for download. It's naturally built for the kind of work that TV/Film & video production companies do. Incentivized JM Joel McAfee Producer Read full review	It's smooth, simple, no problems for sending large files. Receiving files is more complicated and has some friction points to be worked out.

Performance	No answers on this topic	WeTransfer is extremely reliable 99% of the time. There has been twice in 4 years that their service was unavailable due to server outage for several hours. Incentivized Michael Anderson Audio Engineer/ Editor Read full review
Support Rating	I've only reached out to Frame.io a few times but they responded quickly and offered achievable solutions. The fact that I haven't had to reach out to them more is proof that the platform is easy to use, reliable, and can run on its own. The only issues we have had were related to uploading issues on our end. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I've only reached out to WeTransfer support once, but they were prompt, courteous, and answered my question. I assume that future interactions would be the same, I'm looking forward to being a long term customer. Incentivized Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	We use Vimeo for hosting videos on our portfolio page, and for that, Vimeo is superior. However for multiple stakeholders reviewing a video to give notes, frame.io seemed to be superior and more intuitive. Incentivized Mike Roth Video Content Creator Read full review	I did not choose to use Image Relay, the client did. I really like Image Relay and the fact that you can organize files in different folders, but not the fact that you have to create an account, have access to all the files and folders, and remind passwords. With WeTransfer skipping all these requirements, it is way easier and faster. Incentivized PC Patricia Calleja Creative Copywriter Read full review
Return on Investment	Frame.io has cut review time in half for us. When compared to the olden days of email threads for video review, I'll never want to go back. This is a huge time saver. Frame.io gives a high sense of professionalism. I've had multiple clients express their delight with the application. It helps our feedback process, but also keeps our clients happy. Incentivized Chris Hecox Business Owner Read full review	I can work faster since it's easy to use and reliable. Some other file transfer platforms have failed me and are too complex to manage. I keep my clients happy - never have they had any issues with a transfer. It is not an exclusive use platform, so I can use it with everyone - even new clients.
