Benefits

Why teams choose PlayPause

Three reasons, and we will be specific about all three.

Price

$27 a month covers 150 members, 1 TB of storage and unlimited projects, billed per workspace rather than per seat. Tools that charge from $15 per user per month cost more than that at ten people, before anyone has uploaded anything.

More features at every tier

Custom domain, MV1 to MV4 version compare, the Premiere Pro plugin, guest upload with no sign-up, and Playbooks. Things that sit behind an enterprise contract elsewhere are simply in the plan here.

Playbooks, which nobody else has

A Playbook is a document inside PlayPause where editors keep the creative style and direction for one client. Every client gets their own, and any editor on the team can open it, follow it and share it with the others.

One place per client. That simplicity is the point.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions teams actually ask before they switch. Straight answers, no sales fluff. If yours isn't here, the chat bubble gets you a real one.

What file types and codecs are supported?

All the ones real post teams actually use. ProRes, DNxHD and DNxHR, H.264 and H.265 in MP4 or MOV, plus the common RAW proxies. Big files upload without choking, and transfers resume if your connection drops. We build preview proxies for you automatically, so reviewers scrub instantly on any device, even a phone on set.

Which NLE integrations do you support?

Premiere Pro and After Effects get native panels, and other major NLEs get panel support too. Push a cut straight from your timeline, then pull frame-accurate comments back in without retyping a thing. Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zapier catch the notifications so a note never sits unread.

How does Camera-to-Cloud work with my camera/recorder?

You send proxies from set to PlayPause while you are still shooting. Your producer and client start reviewing dailies before the crew even wraps. That dead gap between production and post is where days quietly disappear, so we close it.

Can I restrict access by password, domain, or expiration?

Yes, all of it. Every share link takes a password, an expiry date, domain-locked access, and a watermark. Enterprise adds SSO with SAML, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, and legal holds. You decide who sees a cut and for how long. Not us.

How does pricing work for seats vs. reviewers?

One flat price per workspace. Not per person. Frame.io charges you for every client and freelancer you add, so collaborating literally grows your bill. That is backwards. Invite every reviewer and client your plan allows and pay the same. Paid plans start at $9 a month, and the full numbers live on the pricing page.
