What is the best Air.inc alternative?

It depends on what you use Air (air.inc) for. If you use it for review and approval of video, Flekh, Frame.io and Filestage fit. If you need a full asset library with AI search, none of the tools on this page replace that.

Who are Air.inc's competitors?

For creative review, Air competes with Frame.io, Dropbox Replay, Filestage and Flekh. For hosting finished video, Vimeo competes. We did not review DAM-only tools on this page, so this list does not cover Air's library features.

Air vs Frame.io: which is better for video teams?

Frame.io is better for frame-accurate video review inside Premiere. Air is better for storing and finding many assets with AI tagging. Frame.io Pro costs $15 a member a month, billed monthly. Air Starter costs $125 a month, billed monthly, for up to 5 users.

Yes, Air has a free plan. It allows up to 3 users, 10 GB of storage and 100 credits a month. Air says no credit card is needed. Paid plans start with Starter at $1,200 a year, billed yearly, or $125 billed monthly.

Can Flekh replace Air as a DAM?

No. Flekh is not a digital asset management tool. It has no asset library, AI tagging of past files or brand portals. Flekh replaces only the review, approval and publishing part of Air's job.

Key takeaways

Air (air.inc) is a DAM. Flekh, Frame.io and Filestage are review tools, not asset libraries.
Air Starter now costs $100 a month, billed yearly. In August 2026, Air's own blog said $25.
Air does not publish to social. Of the tools here, Flekh and Vimeo do.

How we chose: tools that do the same job as Air. We checked each price on the vendor's own page on Oct 28, 2026. Flekh is our product, and we list its weak points too.
