The Frame.io alternative built for video agencies
Frame.io is a brilliant review tool for editors. Ozone is the whole agency operating system that review lives inside — a branded client portal, a production pipeline, time, plans, and approvals, all in one place.
Most agencies don't just need video review — they need to look professional to clients, run projects, manage revisions and budgets, and get sign-off from non-technical clients. That's the part Frame.io was never built to do — and exactly what Ozone is for.

Choose Ozone when
You're running an agency
- You want a branded, professional client experience — not a share link
- You're juggling many clients and need a pipeline, not just a player
- You want time, budgets, revisions, and profitability in one place
- You want to replace Notion + a portal + a review tool with one system
- Non-technical clients need a dead-simple way to review and approve
Frame.io still leads when
You're deep in post
- You need Camera to Cloud — footage from the camera to the cloud on set
- You need terabytes of managed media hosting in one place
- Your editors live in Premiere or Final Cut and want native integration
- You need Hollywood-grade frame-accurate review, DRM, or forensic watermarking
Good news: you don't have to choose. Keep Frame.io for the playback your editors love and embed it right inside Ozone's branded portal — Ozone plays any link, including Frame.io, YouTube, Vimeo, or Drive.
Pricing that fits an agency
One studio price, not per seat
Frame.io charges per user ($15–$25/month each), so your bill climbs with every editor. Ozone is one flat plan for your whole studio with your clients included — add reviewers and projects without watching the meter.
Questions
Ozone vs Frame.io — FAQ
Is Ozone a Frame.io alternative?
Yes — but with a wider scope. Frame.io is a video review-and-approval tool. Ozone is a Frame.io alternative built for video agencies that need the whole client relationship in one place: a branded client portal, a production pipeline, client requests, review and approvals, time tracking, plans and credits, and a finished-video gallery.
What's the difference between Ozone and Frame.io?
Frame.io specializes in frame-accurate video review, Camera to Cloud, and managed media hosting for post-production teams. Ozone is the agency's operating system around the work — clients request and review in a portal branded as your studio, while your team runs the pipeline, tracks time, manages plans and revisions, and delivers. In short: Frame.io is a power tool; Ozone is the whole workshop.
Can I use Ozone and Frame.io together?
Yes, and many studios do. Ozone's review screen plays a pasted link, so you can keep Frame.io (or YouTube, Vimeo, or Google Drive) for the actual playback and embed it inside Ozone's branded client portal — getting Ozone's pipeline, approvals, time, and plans without giving up the review tool your editors already like.
Is Ozone cheaper than Frame.io?
They price differently. Frame.io charges per user seat ($15–$25 per user per month on its Pro and Team plans). Ozone is priced as a flat plan for your whole studio with all of your clients included, so cost doesn't climb with every editor or reviewer you add. Book a demo for current Ozone pricing.
Does Ozone replace Frame.io for video review?
For agency-and-client review, yes: clients leave in-context, threaded feedback with @mentions, request revisions (tracked against the plan), and approvers sign off — optionally with two-step approval. For frame-accurate, on-set, Adobe-native review (Camera to Cloud, terabytes of hosting, Premiere/Final Cut integration), Frame.io still leads, which is why some teams run both.
What's the best Frame.io alternative for a video agency?
If you mainly need a client-facing system — a branded portal, project pipeline, requests, approvals, time and budgets, and delivery — rather than just a review player, Ozone is purpose-built for that. If you only need frame-accurate review and managed hosting for editors, Frame.io itself is hard to beat.
