Trying to use Frame.io as a sort of DAM?
Frame.io is genuinely great at what it was built for: video review, approvals, and keeping feedback close to the timeline.
But when teams try to use it as a wider “source of truth” for brand and campaign assets, the cracks usually show up fast.
Meet Stockpress — a Frame.io alternative when what you actually need is Digital Asset Management for your whole content library. Unlimited users, simple setup, and the stuff your marketing, creative, and content teams rely on every day.
Compare features
All the DAM, without the workarounds.
| Feature | Stockpress | Frame.io |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model that works for “invite everyone” | Unlimited users and admins in every tier | Per-member pricing with seat limits (plan dependent) |
| Built for a long-term asset library (not just projects) | Yes. Organize for reuse across campaigns, channels, and years | Best when organized around projects and review workflows |
| Works for all asset types | Yes. Images, video, design files, docs, audio, and more | Strongest for video review and production workflows |
| Tags, metadata, and finding things fast | Flexible tags + custom metadata + AI tagging + visual search | Metadata + Collections designed around workflow and review |
| “Approved and current” version control | Version control + duplicate detection to reduce wrong-file moments | Versioning exists, but governance across a wider asset library is harder |
| Share externally without losing control | Updatable share links, permissions, expiration dates, and share templates | Strong sharing for review, presentations, and approvals |
| Make assets self-serve for non-creative teams | Yes. Simple for marketing, sales, execs, partners, and agencies | Possible, but many teams keep extra systems alongside it |
| Branded portals and “front doors” to your content | Custom pages + branded workspaces | Branded presentations for review and sharing |
| Guest uploads and partner collection | Guest upload links to collect files into the right place | Primarily built around reviewers and collaborators |
| Integrations beyond the edit suite | Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Adobe, Slack, and more | Very strong for production and Adobe video workflows |
How teams get more out of using Stockpress
The challenges
- We started with Frame.io for video review… and now it’s where everyone goes looking for everything.
- We can’t confidently answer “is this the latest approved file?” without checking three places and two people.
- We need a real content library for reuse, not just a home for active projects.
- We want to bring the whole team in, but per-user pricing makes that awkward quickly.
How Stockpress can help
- One place for your full content library (video, images, docs, design files), organized for reuse.
- Version control + duplicate detection helps reduce “wrong file, wrong place, wrong time” moments.
- AI tagging, flexible metadata, and visual search help people find what they need without asking creative.
- Unlimited users means you can invite everyone who touches content, including partners.
Choose Stockpress over Frame.io if you…
- Need a DAM that supports video and everything around it (brand, campaigns, templates, product, social, web).
- Want one reliable source of truth for “approved and current” assets.
- Are building a library for reuse, not just managing review cycles.
- Want to invite the whole team without thinking about seat limits.
- Like the strengths of Frame.io for review, but want a proper DAM for managing everything else.
It’s a different job. Frame.io is brilliant for review and approvals. Stockpress is built for managing and using assets at scale.
