Filestage

Filestage collects feedback on a video, PDF or design in one place, with comments pinned to a timecode or a spot on the page, and an approval step that records who signed off. Reviewers do not need an account, which is what stops a client asking to be sent it in email instead. The free plan carries five new files a month, so it works as a trial that never expires on small jobs.

The free plan carries five new files a month with up to ten team members, which is a real working tier rather than a demo. Above that the jump is steep: $199 a month for unlimited files, and $329 for the tier that adds webhooks and API access. Yearly billing is stated as two months free against monthly. The fourteen-day trial gives everything without limits and then drops to the free plan rather than cutting you off, and educational and non-profit discounts are offered by email.

An agency or in-house team running work past several reviewers who each think their comment was the important one. A solo creator sending a cut to one client will find Frame.io's free tier does the same job for nothing.
