Cage review
A flexible proofing workspace with a useful free tier and low-cost paid entry.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cage is a web-based media collaboration and project workflow platform for freelance creatives, agencies, studios, and in-house teams. It brings proofing, approvals, version control, client sharing, and project organization into one workspace. Reviewers can comment on files without requiring paid seats, while teams can work across video, audio, images, PDFs, and other formats. Web, iOS, and Chrome extension access support a mix of creative and review workflows.
The pricing structure makes Cage approachable for smaller teams. The Free plan costs $0 flat and includes media collaboration features, project management features, and unlimited reviewers. Standard costs $8 per user per month when billed monthly and adds unlimited projects, all integrations, and priority support. Professional costs $14 per user per month and includes the Standard highlights plus project management features. Enterprise adds unlimited people, large storage options, and concierge onboarding. Teams comparing plans should match their needs to reviewer volume, project count, support expectations, and onboarding requirements.
Proofing is the product’s clearest strength. Video annotations can cover multiple time ranges, while approval tracking includes timestamps and version history provides previous-version previews. Reviewer roles, external project sharing, password-protected links, public sharing links, and branded presentations support client-facing review. Integrations include Adobe Photoshop, Adobe XD, Slack, Dropbox, Chrome, and Zapier. Cage fits teams that want proofing and workflow management together; teams seeking only lightweight file comments may not need its broader project features.
