Dropbox Replay vs Frame.io: which should I pick?

Pick Dropbox Replay if you already pay for Dropbox and edit in DaVinci Resolve. Pick Frame.io (by Adobe) if your team uses Premiere and wants one standalone service. Replay costs $10 a user a month, billed yearly, plus a Dropbox plan. Frame.io Pro costs $15 a member a month, billed monthly.

Is Dropbox Replay free?

Partly. Replay works on the free Dropbox Basic plan with limited features. Dropbox does not state those limits on the Replay page. The full add-on costs $10 a user a month, billed yearly, or $12 billed monthly. It needs Dropbox Plus or higher.

What is the best free Dropbox Replay alternative?

Frame.io Free, Filestage Free and Krock.io Free all cost nothing. Frame.io Free gives 2 members and 2 GB. Filestage Free gives 10 team members and 2 GB. Krock.io Free gives 1 user, 2 GB and unlimited reviewers. Flekh has no free plan.

Does Dropbox Replay work with DaVinci Resolve?

Yes. Dropbox lists Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve as a Replay integration. It also lists Premiere, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, LumaFusion and Avid Pro Tools. Among the alternatives here, Flekh and Krock.io also list Resolve integrations.

Who are Dropbox Replay's competitors?

Dropbox Replay's main competitors are Frame.io and Wipster for video review. Vimeo competes for teams that host video. Filestage competes for mixed file approval. Krock.io adds storyboards. Flekh adds tasks and social publishing after approval.
