Which one suits you.

Filestage may suit you better if

  • Your approvals pass through several departments in order, with due dates and reminders.
  • You review websites, HTML, designs or Office documents as well as video.
  • You work in a regulated field and need audit logs or approvals signed with a password.
  • You cut in Premiere Pro and want your client’s comments as markers there.

DropYourFiles may suit you better if

  • Your studio is one to a few people, and a plan priced for ten seats is more than you need. Solo is $20 a month.
  • You deliver photos and film to the same client and want them on one page.
  • You want your client’s approval to take the watermark off and open the full-size downloads, on the same link.
  • You cut in Final Cut Pro and want your client’s notes as to-do markers.
