The structural difference

Frame.io's price scales with people. Ours scales with nothing you have to think about: tiers differ by storage allowance and project count, and reviewers are unlimited on every plan. That is not generosity, it is cost structure. Our infrastructure bills us by video minutes stored and delivered. A reviewer watching a cut costs us fractions of a cent, so charging you $25 a month for that person would be margin theater. Frame.io's per-member model is a pricing choice, and it is the single most complained-about thing in this product category.

The 4K question, plainly

Neither product streams you full-resolution 4K on the plans most teams buy. Frame.io gates full-res playback to Enterprise; Pro and Team watch proxies. ReviewTube streams review proxies up to 1080p and keeps your original master untouched and downloadable on every plan. If true 4K-stream review is a hard requirement and the Enterprise budget exists, Frame.io wins that line. For everyone else the honest comparison is proxy vs proxy, and then the bill.

Who should pick Frame.io

  • Teams whose review loop lives inside Premiere Pro or After Effects panels.
  • Productions shooting Camera to Cloud.
  • Enterprise buyers who need 4K review streams, DRM and SSO today.

Who should pick ReviewTube

  • Creators, brands and agencies reviewing exports with clients and freelancers.
  • Teams past 5 people watching the per-member bill climb.
  • Anyone who wants reviewers to just click a link and comment, no accounts.
  • Anyone who wants their masters owned, not rented.
