Best Video Review Software (2026)

Eight video review tools compared on file types, guest review, approvals, editing-software integrations and what a 5-person team pays each month.

Article summary

Video review software lets your team and clients leave timecoded comments on a cut and mark which version is approved. We compared eight tools on what they review, how guests get in, how approvals work and what 5 seats cost, using pricing from each vendor's own site. Kreatli is our product; the fairness section says when to pick something else.

Quick picks

Kreatli: Creative teams that review video, images, PDFs and audio with clients and run tasks in the same place.
Frame.io: Video editors in Adobe tools who want review inside Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Filestage: Marketing teams and agencies proofing many formats, including live websites, on a flat price.
Ziflow: Larger review teams that want many seats included in one flat annual price.
Wipster: Video teams that want editing-software panels and multi-step approvals.
Dropbox Replay: Teams already paying for Dropbox Plus or higher that want review without another app.
PageProof: Teams that want unlimited users, storage and reviewers for one flat monthly price.
GoVisually: Teams reviewing design files and artwork, including CPG brands that need its compliance suite.

How we compared video review software

Each tool is described with the same five criteria, using the vendor's own pages:

File types: video only, or also images, PDFs, audio and documents.
Guest review: whether clients can comment without an account or a paid seat.
Approvals: statuses, sign-off steps, due dates or reminders.
Editing-software integrations: panels for Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, After Effects or DaVinci Resolve.
Pricing: per seat or flat, the free plan, and the monthly cost for a 5-person team on the cheapest listed plan that reviews video.

When Kreatli is not the right choice

Pick another tool when one of these matters more than mixed-media client review:

You want review inside your editing software. Kreatli has no Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve panels. Frame.io, Wipster and Dropbox Replay do.
You need to export comments. Kreatli doesn't export comments. Frame.io exports CSV and plain text for editing software and prints comments to PDF.
You proof live websites or HTML. Kreatli has no website proofing; Filestage does.
You need frame-by-frame stepping. Kreatli comments are timecoded, but there is no frame stepping.
Your team is larger than 10 and you want a listed price. Kreatli above 10 members is Enterprise with custom pricing. PageProof has unlimited users on a flat price, and Wipster Team has no user limit.
Everything already lives in Dropbox. If you're on Dropbox Plus or higher, the Replay add-on keeps review next to your files.

If none of these apply, compare Kreatli's video review software on one real client round.

FAQ: video review software

What is the best video review software?

It depends on your workflow. Frame.io suits editors who want review inside Adobe tools, Filestage suits teams proofing many formats including websites, Wipster suits teams that want editing-software panels and multi-step approvals, and Dropbox Replay suits teams already on Dropbox. Kreatli suits creative teams that review video, images, PDFs and audio with clients and want tasks and deliverables in the same project.

Which video review software is cheapest for a team of 5?

Based on each vendor's listed prices (checked Oct 21, 2026), the monthly cost for 5 seats on a plan that reviews video is: Frame.io $75 (Pro), Wipster $125 (Team), Kreatli $145 (Team), GoVisually $165 (Pro), Ziflow $199 (Standard), PageProof $249 (Team), Filestage €199 (Starter, billed in EUR). Ziflow's price is billed annually. Dropbox Replay is left out because its US price wasn't confirmed on its US pricing page.

Can clients review videos without creating an account?

Yes, in most of these tools. Kreatli guests comment from a link with just their name, Frame.io share reviewers comment without an account, Filestage and Wipster offer unlimited reviewers without accounts, and Dropbox Replay reviewers don’t need a Dropbox account. Ziflow lists unlimited reviewers, but its Secure Guest Reviewing feature is Enterprise only.

Which video review tools integrate with Premiere Pro?

Frame.io (V4 panel for Premiere Pro 25.6 and later), Filestage, Wipster and Dropbox Replay all list Premiere Pro integrations. Kreatli has no editing-software panels; you upload exports and share a review link.

Does Kreatli have a free plan?

Kreatli's Exploration mode is free: 1 project, 2 files, no credit card. Paid plans start with a 7-day trial: Creator is $14 per user per month for up to 3 members, and Team is $29 per user per month for up to 10 members.
