What $99/month actually gets you: Stockpress vs. Filecamp vs. Air

TL;DR

Stockpress’s $99/month Essential plan includes 200 GB of storage plus AI-powered tagging, facial recognition, and file versioning, as well as several other features, such as Smart Collections and two-factor authentication, that Filecamp doesn’t publicly offer at any tier. To match storage in Stockpress on Filecamp, using Filecamp’s own published add-on rate ($45/month for 100 GB) would cost $134/month, still without facial recognition or file versioning. To match Stockpress’s feature depth, Air requires its Business plan at $900/month, roughly 9 times Stockpress’s price. Filecamp and Air do have lower entry-level plans targeted at individual creators and users, but those entry plans are a fraction of what Stockpress includes for $99/month.

What $99/Month Actually Includes

Stockpress’s Essential plan — the first paid tier, at $99/month — includes 200 GB of storage with unlimited users, plus a feature set that most competitors gate behind much higher tiers: facial recognition, AI-powered tagging, custom branding, file versioning, file annotations, custom download sizes, and tag categories. AI tagging is even included on the free plan. None of this is locked behind a sales call or an enterprise quote — it’s the standard starting tier.

That combination of storage and feature depth at the entry-level price is the right baseline for comparing what Filecamp and Air actually offer at a similar cost.

Storage: Where the Comparison Breaks Down Fast

Filecamp

Filecamp’s three plans top out at 100 GB on its most expensive listed tier, Professional, at $89/month:

To match the 200 GB included in Stockpress’s $99/month plan, a Filecamp customer would need to add 100 GB on top of Professional. Filecamp publishes exact rates for this: an extra 100 GB costs $45/month, bringing the total to $134/month — 35% more than Stockpress for the same storage, on a plan that still doesn’t include facial recognition, file versioning, Smart Collections, Tag Categories, or two-factor authentication. At higher volumes the gap widens further: Filecamp’s own pricing page lists an extra 10 TB at $2,000/month (on top of the $89 base, for roughly $2,089/month total). Stockpress’s equivalent, at $1,885/month, is actually its top-tier Premium plan — Filecamp has no plan beyond Professional at any price, while Stockpress’s Premium adds everything from its Pro tier (AI video tagging, duplicate file detection, expiration dates, file watermarking, guest upload pages, Adobe integrations, and much more) plus reporting, custom pages, IPTC/EXIF metadata mapping, Single Sign-On, and dedicated onboarding support — none of which Filecamp publishes at any tier.

Air

Air prices storage differently: instead of gigabytes, its plans run on monthly credits that fund storage, AI tagging, and AI generation from the same shared pool. Air’s own published rates show why that matters: storage alone runs about 1 credit per GB per month, but storage with AI enrichment turned on runs about 6 credits per GB per month — a 6x swing depending on how much AI tagging a workspace actually uses, before even factoring in image and video generation, which draw from the same pool at roughly 5 and 20 credits each. That makes total usable storage a moving target rather than a fixed number.

For a team running an active library with AI tagging turned on, the plan that matches Stockpress’s Essential tier is Air’s Business plan, at $900/month for 30,000 credits. Run the math on Air’s own published rates and that ceiling works out to roughly 5 TB of AI-enriched storage (or up to ~30 TB if AI enrichment is turned off entirely) — a real number, but one that shifts based on how a team actually uses the AI features included in the plan. Stockpress’s $99/month Essential plan, by contrast, includes a fixed 200 GB with AI tagging already turned on, at no extra cost and no need to model credit consumption to know what you’re getting.

If 5 TB is the number that matters for your team, the more direct comparison is Stockpress’s Premium plan, which offers a 5 TB tier at a fixed monthly price that doesn’t change based on how much AI tagging or editing gets used. Premium also includes two features Air reserves for its Enterprise plan rather than Business: Single Sign-On and reporting/analytics. See current Premium pricing for the exact rate at 5 TB.

Side-by-Side: Price, Storage, and Users at Comparable Tiers

Why the Sticker Price Alone Tells a Different Story

Filecamp’s Basic plan ($29/month) and Air’s Starter plan ($25/month) are both cheaper than Stockpress’s $99/month Essential plan, and some price comparisons stop there. Taken at face value, that makes Stockpress look like the more expensive option. It’s also comparing a 20 GB, tagging-free plan and a 600-credit shared-pool plan against a 200 GB plan with AI tagging, facial recognition, and versioning included — not the same product tier. Once storage and features are matched, Stockpress is the cheaper option in both directions: about 26% less than an equivalent Filecamp setup, and a fraction of the cost of Air’s comparable tier.

How Stockpress Prices Differently

Stockpress charges by storage, not by seat, and every plan — including Free — comes with unlimited users. AI tagging, facial recognition, and versioning are included starting at the entry tier rather than gated behind enterprise pricing, and storage capacity is dedicated rather than shared with AI feature usage the way Air’s credits work. Teams can start on the Free plan, move to Essential at $99/month as their library grows past 3 GB, and scale up through Pro and Premium without switching platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Stockpress more expensive than Filecamp?

Filecamp’s cheapest plan ($29/month) is less expensive than Stockpress’s cheapest paid plan ($99/month), but it includes a tenth of the storage and none of Stockpress’s facial recognition or versioning features (Filecamp’s AI tagging only starts at its $59/month Advanced plan). Matching Stockpress’s 200 GB on Filecamp, using its own published add-on pricing, costs $134/month — 35% more than Stockpress for the same storage.

Is Stockpress more expensive than Air?

Air’s Starter plan ($25/month) is cheaper than Stockpress, but its 600 monthly credits are shared across storage and AI usage. Air’s Business plan, the tier with comparable capacity and features, costs $900/month — roughly 9 times more than Stockpress’s Essential plan.

Does Filecamp offer a free plan?

No. Filecamp offers a time-limited free trial but no permanent free tier. Stockpress offers a free plan with 3 GB of storage and unlimited users, with no credit card required.

How does Air’s credit system affect pricing?

Air’s credits fund storage, AI tagging, and AI generation from one shared monthly pool that resets and doesn’t roll over. By Air’s own published rates, storage alone costs about 1 credit per GB per month, but storage with AI enrichment turned on costs about 6 credits per GB per month — meaning the same 30,000-credit Business plan can hold anywhere from roughly 5 TB to 30 TB depending on how much AI tagging and generation a team actually uses. Stockpress prices storage and AI features separately, so using AI tagging doesn’t reduce available storage.

What does Stockpress include that Filecamp doesn’t offer at any price?

Based on Filecamp’s published feature list, its AI-powered auto-tagging only starts at the $59/month Advanced plan, and it doesn’t publish facial recognition or file versioning at any tier — along with several other features Stockpress includes at $99/month, like Smart Collections and Tag Categories. Stockpress includes AI tagging starting on its free plan, with facial recognition and versioning added by the Essential tier.
