Editlock vs Frame.io

Frame-exact feedback. Priced in rupees, not per seat.

Frame.io is the category leader, now owned by Adobe — and for big studios living in Premiere with terabytes of footage, it is genuinely worth it. But it bills per seat in dollars. Editlock is the same core review workflow, priced on storage in INR, with members included by tier.

Where Frame.io fits — and doesn’t

A powerful tool, metered by the seat.

Per seat, in dollars

Pro is $15 per seat each month, Team $25. A three-editor team on Pro is $45/month (~₹3,900) before a single extra byte of storage — and the meter climbs with every account you add.

Built for Adobe-scale teams

Terabytes of included storage, Premiere/After Effects panels and Camera to Cloud are real advantages — if you’re a studio that needs them. For a freelancer or small shop, it’s a lot of platform (and price) to get the review.

USD pricing for a rupee business

Per-seat dollars are hard to budget when you invoice clients in rupees. Editlock is INR-first and all-inclusive, with a fixed monthly price by tier.

The Editlock way

Keep the review. Drop the per-seat dollars.

Editlock gives you frame-exact comments, drawings, versions and picture lock with unlimited free reviewers — billed on storage in rupees, not per editor in USD. If you genuinely need 2TB+ and deep Adobe integration, Frame.io may still be your tool; if you mostly need clean client review at a small-studio price, Editlock is the cheaper, simpler fit.

FAQ

Frame.io vs Editlock — common questions

How much does Frame.io cost?

Frame.io has a free plan (2GB, 2 members), then Pro at $15 per seat per month (up to 5 seats, ~2TB) and Team at $25 per seat per month (up to 15 seats, ~3TB), with custom Enterprise pricing. It bills per seat in USD. Editlock starts free, then ₹599/month, and never charges per seat.

Is Editlock cheaper than Frame.io?

For most freelancers and small studios, yes — Editlock is billed on storage in INR with members included by tier, so a growing team doesn’t grow your bill. The honest caveat: Frame.io includes far more storage (2TB+) and deep Adobe integration, so if you need those, compare on total value, not just the headline price.

Are reviewers free on Frame.io?

Yes — external clients review via share links with no account, the same as Editlock. Neither charges per reviewer. The difference is team members: Frame.io bills those per seat in USD, while Editlock includes members by tier.

Does Editlock integrate with Premiere Pro like Frame.io?

No — Editlock doesn’t have in-app Premiere or After Effects panels or Camera to Cloud. You export your cut and upload it for review. If a native Adobe panel is essential to your workflow, that’s a genuine reason to stay on Frame.io.

What’s the best Frame.io alternative for editors in India?

Editlock is built for exactly that: video review and approval priced in rupees, all-inclusive, from a free 2GB plan up to ₹4,699/month, with unlimited free reviewers and clients on every plan.
