Billed by active project
A project counts as active once media is up and reviewers are commenting. Client feedback reopens closed work, project count climbs, and the bill follows — hard to predict month to month.
Editlock vs Dropbox Replay
Flat pricing. Not per active project.
Dropbox Replay charges by active project and leans on Dropbox storage — so a reopened project can start billing again, and you’re renting a whole file-sync platform to get the review tool. Editlock is standalone, with flat storage tiers.
 Editlock | Dropbox Replay | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing basis | Flat storage tiers | Per active project (or Dropbox add-on) |
| Projects | Unlimited | Metered — reopened projects re-bill |
| Storage platform | Standalone — review + storage only | Ties you to Dropbox storage |
| Cost predictability | Fixed monthly by tier | Varies with active-project count |
| Reviewers & clients | Unlimited, free | Free via link |
| Frame-exact comments + drawing | Yes | Yes |
| Version stacking & picture lock | Yes | Versions yes; approval basic |
| Billing | INR-first, all-inclusive | USD, usage-variable |

The per-project surprise
Costs that move when you’re not looking.
You’re renting all of Dropbox
Replay leans on Dropbox storage. If you don’t already live in Dropbox, you’re paying for a full file-sync platform just to reach the review tool.
USD + variable = hard to budget
Dollar pricing that shifts with usage is tough for a small studio to plan around. Editlock is a fixed monthly rupee price by tier.
The Editlock way
Start free → One flat price. Unlimited projects.
Editlock is a standalone review tool — flat storage tiers, unlimited projects, and a bill that doesn’t jump when a client reopens a cut. No Dropbox subscription required, reviewers always free.
FAQ
Dropbox Replay vs Editlock — common questions
How is Dropbox Replay priced?
By active project — a project with uploaded media and reviewers commenting — either as a standalone add-on or bundled into Dropbox team plans with a capped allowance. Reopened projects can count as active again. Editlock is a flat monthly price by storage tier.
Do I need Dropbox to use Editlock?
No. Editlock is standalone — it stores and streams your review copies itself, so you’re not paying for a separate file-sync platform.
Is there a Dropbox Replay alternative with flat pricing?
Yes — Editlock. Flat storage tiers from ₹0 free to ₹4,699/month, unlimited projects, and unlimited free reviewers, so your cost doesn’t swing with active-project count.
Are reviewers free on Editlock?
Always — on every plan. Send a link; clients comment with no account and no seat, the same way Replay’s link reviewers work.
