Best fit for Frooty: Teams whose bottleneck is client feedback rounds - not video hosting.
Vimeo Review is convenient if you already host on Vimeo: timecoded comments and approval basics are bundled. But pricing is per-seat hosting ($12-$75/mo), so growing review teams overpay for storage they don't need. Frooty is review-first and reviewers are free.
Review tools ship inside Vimeo paid plans: Starter $12/mo, Standard $25/mo, Advanced $75/mo (annual billing, plus tax). Verify on vimeo.com/upgrade-plan - per-seat costs scale fast past 5 users.
Stay on Vimeo if ad-free 4K hosting and webinars are the job. Switch to Frooty if client review cycles are the bottleneck: unlimited reviewers, side-by-side versions, documented approvals and pay-to-release delivery - without hosting-seat overhead.
