COMPARISON

SceneNote vs Frame.io

An honest comparison, plan for plan: Free against Free, Pro against Pro. What each costs, and which suits your work.

LAST CHECKED 30 SEP 2026
THE SHORT ANSWER

SceneNote is the simpler, cheaper way to get video feedback from clients. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or upload a file, and your reviewers only type a name. Pro is $9 a month, 40% less than Frame.io Pro. Frame.io is built for a different job: production teams managing a shared footage library, with a paid seat for each person.

WHICH TO CHOOSE

Should I use SceneNote or Frame.io?

They’re built for different jobs. Here’s who each one suits.

SCENENOTE
Choose SceneNote if…
  • You want freedom with your media: upload the file, or share a link where it already lives on YouTube (unlisted is fine) or Vimeo.
  • You don’t want your clients making an account: they type just a name and start leaving notes.
  • You work on your own and want one flat price, not a price per member.
  • You want voice notes, polls and a to-do list made from the feedback.
  • You want the notes on your timeline: markers in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, or DAW labels for sound.
  • You review stills too: thumbnails, grades and titles in image sets, sorted into folders, with a vote on the favourite.

FRAME.IO
Choose Frame.io if…
  • Your production team needs a shared library for all its footage, not just the cuts you send for review.
  • Several people on your side need their own logins and permissions.
  • You need terabytes of storage in one place: Pro includes 2 TB.
  • You shoot with Camera to Cloud, or review in their iPad or Apple TV app.
  • Your company needs SSO, DRM or forensic watermarking (Enterprise plan).
SOURCES AND HOW WE CHECKEDLast checked 30 September 2026
We make SceneNote, so read this knowing that. We’ve tried to be fair: every Frame.io fact on this page comes from Frame.io’s own pages, and where we couldn’t confirm something, we left it out or said so.
SceneNote’s own plans: see /pro. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we’ll fix it.

Paste a link and you have a project in seconds. Send it to your client, and they’re leaving notes a moment later.
