OpenFrame review
A focused video review workspace with flexible hosting and practical approval tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpenFrame is a video review and approval platform for freelancers, studios, and video teams. It combines browser-based review links with timestamped comments, voice notes, drawings, annotations, version history, side-by-side comparison, approval requests, and feedback exports. Clients can review through share links without creating accounts, making it suited to teams that need a straightforward way to collect and organize feedback across video revisions.
Pricing is split between a hosted cloud plan and self-hosting. Hosted cloud costs $10 per month and includes unlimited collaborators and clients, 200 GB of storage, permissioned share links, comments, voice notes, annotations, version comparison, history, approvals, and PDF and CSV exports. A 7-day free trial is available. The self-hosted option includes the full source code, Docker setup, and deployment on your own infrastructure; releases become Apache 2.0 after two years. This makes the product more adaptable for teams deciding between managed hosting and infrastructure control.
OpenFrame’s strongest fit is a focused review workflow rather than a broad editing ecosystem. YouTube imports, direct uploads, S3-compatible storage, Google OAuth, GitHub OAuth, SMTP, Telegram, Stripe, and Bunny Stream support provide useful surrounding connections, while comment replies, resolution states, tags, and approval tracking help keep feedback organized. Teams that want simple client review, version comparison, and sign-off tools should find the feature set well aligned. Teams requiring verified NLE integrations or more advanced reviewer roles should choose an alternative designed around those needs.
