Frooty has three plans as of November 2026: Free ($0) for small teams starting out, Studio ($39/mo, or $380/yr) flat for growing teams and client work, and Custom for larger organizations. The structural difference from most of this market: Frooty bills the workspace, not each human - members are unlimited on paid plans, and reviewers on links are never billed on any plan. Here is exactly what each tier includes, who it fits, and where its boundaries sit.
Free - $0
- 5 GB storage - enough for a few client projects at working-file sizes, not for a 4K archive.
- 2 members - you plus one collaborator.
- Unlimited projects and unlimited reviewers on links.
- 1080p playback on review links, frame-accurate comments and annotations included.
Fits: a solo editor with occasional client rounds, a two-person shop, evaluating the review loop before committing. The Free tier is the full review experience at small scale - not a crippled demo; the limit is storage and seats, not features-on-a-timer.
Studio - $39/month, or $380/year
- 2 TB storage plus 1 TB per member - working-file scale for active client work.
- Unlimited members - producers, editors, social managers, the whole team, no per-seat meter.
- Unlimited reviewers, free forever - clients, stakeholders, legal, the client's client. This is the plan-level promise: nobody watching your work is ever an invoice line.
- Original-resolution playback - reviewers see the real master, not a downgraded proxy (the proxy-vs-original question is unpacked in what is proxy workflow).
- The full product: watermarks, download controls, version compare, editor integrations (Premiere Pro and After Effects panels, the DaVinci Resolve plugin - Studio on macOS, FCPXML delivery for Final Cut), AI shorts clip candidates, captions, and Buffer-connected publishing.
Fits: teams and client-facing operations of any size - which is the point of flat pricing. A five-person studio and a twenty-five-person one pay the same, because the cost driver is storage, not headcount.
Custom
Flexible storage starting from 5 TB, plus organizational requirements - SSO, SLAs, and deployment questions - handled directly. Fits: production companies and enterprises whose storage or compliance needs outgrow the standard plans.

The seat math, worked
Flat pricing is an argument, so here is the arithmetic. A ten-member team running client review rounds:
| Tool (as of Nov 2026) | Plan needed | Monthly cost | Reviewers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frooty | Studio | $39 flat | Unlimited, free |
| Frame.io | Team ($25/member) | $250 | Free via links |
| Wipster | Team ($19.95/user, annual) | $199.50 | Free |
| Ziflow | Standard ($199/mo, 15 users) | $199 flat | Free |
| Filestage | Starter ($199/mo annual) | $199 flat | Unlimited, free |
Frame.io's Pro plan would be cheaper but caps at 5 members, so ten members forces Team. On Frooty, adding an eleventh member changes nothing; on a per-seat tool it adds $15-25/mo. The pattern this table shows - per-seat tools converging near $200/mo at team scale while flat tools hold - is the subject of the per-seat pricing op-ed, and the reviewer-billing question specifically is in video review tools with unlimited reviewers.
What Frooty pricing does not include
Honest boundaries, so nobody is surprised: agent-assisted editing (@auto) and the AI generation studio are in beta - capable but not finished products, and AI features draw on credits rather than an unlimited well. Publishing runs through your Buffer account, so Buffer-side channel limits are Buffer's, not Frooty's. And the Free plan's 1080p playback is a real ceiling - original-resolution playback requires Studio. Every comparison we publish follows the same disclosure rule; the methodology is in best video review tools 2026.

FAQ
Do reviewers ever cost money on Frooty?
No - on every plan, including Free. Reviewers open your link, comment frame-accurately, and never appear as a seat or an invoice line. The only billed relationship is the workspace itself.
What happens if I add a twelfth member to my workspace?
On Studio, nothing happens - members are unlimited and the price stays $39/mo. Storage grows by 1 TB per member as the team grows, which is the only resource that scales with people.
Is the $380/year price per person?
No - $380/year is the whole workspace on Studio: unlimited members, unlimited reviewers, 2 TB plus 1 TB per member. Compare the per-member annual math on per-seat tools at the same team size.
Can I try Studio features before paying?
The Free tier carries the full review experience at 5 GB and 2 members, so the review loop - links, comments, versions, approvals - is testable at $0. Storage-hungry features like original-resolution playback and large archives are the Studio difference.
