Frame.io free plan limits at a glance
| Limit | Frame.io Free |
|---|---|
| Price | $0 |
| Members | Up to 2 members |
| Storage | 2GB (+2GB mounted) |
| Projects | 2 |
| Workspaces | 1 |
| Reviewers | Share reviewers need no seat |
| Over the limit | "Project limit exceeded" banner; the account may be locked after a grace period |
What happens when you go over the limits
Frame.io's plan-limits article says an account over the free limits shows a "Project limit exceeded (Free plan only)" banner. If you stay over the limit, the account may be locked after a grace period.
The Free plan allows up to 2 members, so a third member means a paid plan. Share reviewers don't need a seat.
The Adobe Creative Cloud free allowance
Adobe Creative Cloud users who sign up for Frame.io with their Adobe credentials get a bigger free allowance: 100GB of storage and up to 5 projects, according to Adobe's help page. If you already pay for Creative Cloud, check which sign-up you used before you upgrade.
What upgrading from the free plan costs
Monthly list prices before tax on the cheapest paid plan that fits. Pro covers up to 5 members and Team up to 15; above that, Enterprise has custom pricing. Annual billing saves 13%, but Frame.io doesn't show the annual price.
| Seats | Cheapest plan that fits | Per month | Per month, billed annually | How it's calculated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Pro | $30 | Not listed | Pro: 2 × $15 per seat. |
| 3 | Pro | $45 | Not listed | Pro: 3 × $15 per seat. |

When Frame.io's free plan is the better choice
- You want to keep working for free. Frame.io Free gives 2 members 2 projects and 2GB; Kreatli Exploration stops at 1 project and 2 files.
- You already pay for Creative Cloud. Signing up with Adobe credentials raises the free allowance to 100GB and 5 projects.
- You edit in Premiere Pro. Frame.io has a V4 panel for Premiere Pro 25.6 and later; Kreatli has no editing-software panels.
- You need to export comments. Frame.io exports comments to CSV, plain text and PDF; Kreatli doesn't export comments.
If you're past the free plan and review with clients, compare Kreatli's video review software on one real round.
