Nivlo vs Frame.io in 2026: video review tool or asset library for the whole team

The short answer: Frame.io is the specialist for video review: frame-accurate comments, on-screen annotations and a workflow built for editors and post-production. Nivlo is the shared home for all of a company’s assets (photos, videos, presentations and documents) and the people who send and receive them. If your team edits video every day, Frame.io is the natural tool. If video is one of many asset types you receive, organise and deliver, Nivlo covers more of the work at a flat price.

Built for different people

Frame.io is centred on the moment of review. The editor uploads a cut, the client or director leaves comments on exact frames, draws on the image, the editor exports a new version. For a production house or a post-production department, that loop is the whole job.

Nivlo is centred on the asset library and the people around it. A marketing team, an agency or an event organiser receives files from photographers and suppliers, organises them by project, discusses them and sends selections to clients, sponsors and press. Video is an important part, but not the only one.

Price for a growing team

Frame.io charges for every member who works in the account, and Pro stops at 5 members. A team of 8 on Frame.io Team pays 8 × $25 = $200 a month, before tax.

Nivlo Professional costs €150 a month for any number of users, and Business costs €350 for 10 TB. If many people work with your assets (marketing, sales, partner agencies), a flat price stays predictable.

When Frame.io is the better choice

• Your team edits video and review is the core of the work.
• You need frame-accurate comments, ranges and on-screen annotations.
• Most of your files are video, and few people need full access.

When Nivlo is the better choice

• You work with photos, videos, presentations and documents, not just cuts in progress.
• You receive files from photographers, agencies and suppliers through upload links.
• You deliver selections to clients and press and want control over each link: password, expiry, web version or original, email domain restriction on Business.
• You want files stored in the EU and a price that doesn’t grow with the number of people.
