iconik
vs. frame.io
Which media review
& collaboration
solution is right for
you?
Media collaboration platforms come packed with features for creative teamwork, but managing the entire lifecycle of your media requires a solution that goes beyond just tagging and media review.
Frame.io and iconik both provide solid options for media collaboration. Frame.io shines as a post-production review platform, whereas iconik offers a complete workflow, covering every stage of media management from initial collaboration to long-term storage.
Here’s a closer look at how these platforms measure up across the entire media workflow.
Collaboration built for scale
One solution for media asset management and collaboration
When media collaboration and asset management come together in one unified platform, you get more value and fewer disruptions.
Reviewing media outside of where it is managed creates complexity and is a missed opportunity. Tying it all together preserves the historical data of media as it evolves. Imagine a true archive where every media asset has its complete history documented and is easily searchable—wherever it is stored.

There’s no need to pay for two separate tools—you only need iconik.

Unlimited storage,
unlimited freedom
Nothing fills a storage quota like hi-res video files. Give yourself the freedom to use exactly the amount of storage you need.
Connect any storage
Have a storage solution you like? Keep it. Iconik allows every customer to bring their own storage. Whether it’s a preferred cloud storage provider, a local NAS, SAN, or workstation, iconik will manage everything in one place without massive transfers or duplicate files.
In the cloud, on-prem, or something in between
No matter where your storage is, iconik will connect to it and index everything in the cloud. Lightweight proxy files of your videos are automatically pushed to iconik, so your team can search, share, and review media from any device.
Save on costs by simplifying management
Iconik helps cut storage expenses by up to 30% through integration with existing storage solutions. Avoid large transfers and duplicate files—only store what’s essential. Iconik’s smart file management maximizes space and minimizes costs across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid setups.
See everything in one place–without moving it all to one place. That’s the power of iconik.
Pay only for what you use
Rigid plans don’t account for the ebb and flow of team dynamics. With iconik, you only pay for active users, and collaborators are always free. Iconik’s usage-based pricing is designed to flex with your business, so you’re never overpaying for users or storage you don’t use.
And you have unlimited, free collaborators who can:
- Review & approve assets
- Write time-based comments
- Draw annotations on media
- Download proxy or original files
A side-by-side comparison of frame.io and iconik
Both frame.io and iconik offer strong solutions for media collaboration, but their differences emerge in media asset management and scalability.
Frame.io shines in post-production review and integration with editing tools. Iconik goes further, providing a comprehensive media management system that supports large teams and complex workflows across the entire media lifecycle.
Deciding between the two depends on whether your needs are focused on post-production review or full media asset management.
