A Frame.io alternative built for solo editors, not enterprise post houses.
Frame.io is built, and priced, for post-production teams. Collabricate gives you the same frame-accurate review workflow at a rate that makes sense for one editor.
frame-accurate comments, unlimited client reviewers, no enterprise pricing
Frame.io works great. If you're a studio.
Frame.io's enterprise pricing and seat-based plans make sense for large post houses, not for a solo editor billing one client at a time.
Collabricate keeps the part that actually matters for freelancers, frame-accurate comments, versioning, and approvals, without the enterprise overhead.

Frequently asked questions
What's a cheaper alternative to Frame.io for solo editors?
Collabricate covers the core of what freelance editors actually use Frame.io for, timestamp comments, version comparison, and client approvals, at a flat rate built for solo editors and small teams, not enterprise post-production houses.
How do I get frame-accurate timestamp comments on my videos?
Upload a version, share the review link, and every comment a client leaves is pinned to the exact frame they clicked. You open the project and jump straight to the moment they meant, instead of guessing which “0:42” they're talking about.
How is Collabricate different from GoVisually or Filestage?
GoVisually and Filestage are built for broader creative review, documents, images, and design files. Collabricate is video-first: the whole workflow, from upload to versioning to delivery, is built around a video timeline.
Can clients leave feedback without creating an account?
Yes. You send a review link, the client opens it in their browser, and they can comment, reply, and approve without signing up for anything.
Stop translating vague feedback into edits.
Get client comments pinned to the exact frame, versions that track themselves, and one link your clients will actually use.
