/frame-io-alternative · review is one stage, not the studio
A great place to review a cut. Not where you run the whole studio.Gaurify OS is a Frame.io alternative for studios that need project management, a client portal, delivery and invoicing around review, not review on its own.
Frame.io is the best-known review tool, and a good one. But review is one step in a project. Around it you still run the tasks, the client portal, delivery and the invoice, usually in three other tools. Gaurify OS is the whole job in one place, review included.
The seam it leaves.
where a studio still pays
Review is one stage. It has no tasks, no deadlines, no client portal you brand as your own, no delivery with an invoice attached, and no payouts to your team. So the version a client approves still has to be matched by hand to the file you send and the invoice you raise, and you pay for the tools that do the rest.

the arithmetic
At five people, Frame.io alone is about $75 a month, and it covers the review step only. Gaurify OS is one flat plan from $99 that covers the whole job, and your next hire adds nothing to it.
Competitor prices are their own public list prices and can change. The live math, with your own team size, is on the pricing page.

If review really is all you need, and the rest of your work already runs somewhere you are happy with, Frame.io is a fine choice and you do not need us. Gaurify OS earns its place the moment you are paying for a tracker, a portal, a delivery tool and an invoicing app around the review, and spending your own hours carrying work between them.
