Frankie review
A focused workspace for synchronized video review, annotation, and approval.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Frankie is a browser-based platform for synchronized video review and approval. It is designed for film, television, advertising, marketing, and visual-effects teams that need to review footage remotely, mark specific video frames, and capture approval notes. Participants can work through supported web browsers, while mobile access is available across web, iOS, and Android. Guest uploads, fullscreen and presentation modes, and custom branding extend the workflow beyond basic playback and commenting.
The published plans scale primarily by collaboration and storage limits. Frankie BASIC supports 2 reviewers per interactive review, 1 project, 100MB maximum file uploads, and 5GB of storage, with custom branding. Frankie PLUS raises the limits to 5 reviewers, 3 projects, 1GB maximum file uploads, and 50GB of storage, while adding PDF summaries plus zoom and pan. Frankie PRO supports 10 reviewers, 10 projects, no maximum file upload limit, and 500GB of storage, while retaining PDF summaries, zoom, and pan. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Frankie's strongest fit is a review process that depends on synchronized playback, frame-accurate stepping, drawing over video frames, and formal session summaries. Video transcoding supports browser playback, and exported PDF notes and drawings can help preserve review outcomes. The product is narrower than a broader production-management suite: its value centers on interactive video review rather than AI-assisted workflows or open-source extensibility. Teams that need remote approvals and visual feedback should find the feature set well aligned; teams seeking AI features or a free ongoing tier should choose another option. Cospective states that Frankie will continue to be supported and developed following its move into ftrack.
