If you've priced out Frame.io recently, you've probably hit the same wall everyone does: a pricing page that shows per-seat numbers but makes it genuinely hard to tell what your actual team, at your actual size, will pay per month or per year. Add Adobe's Creative Cloud bundling into the mix, which sounds like "Frame.io is free with Adobe" until you read the fine print, and most teams end up guessing.
This page lays out Frame.io's current plans with real numbers, walks through exactly what 5-, 10-, and 25-person teams pay per year, and explains what's actually included when Frame.io comes bundled with Adobe Creative Cloud (and what isn't). Then, if you want to see how the numbers change with Krock.io, there's a calculator below that runs the comparison live.
Here's every current Frame.io plan, with per-seat pricing, storage, and what's gated to each tier. These are Frame.io's own published numbers as of September 2026 — check Frame.io's pricing page directly if you need to confirm the current rate before signing a contract, since SaaS pricing changes without much notice.
| Plan | Price per user/month | Seats included | Storage | What’s gated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Up to 2 members | 2 GB + 2 GB Mounted Storage | Camera to Cloud and transcription/captions included; no custom branding, no 4K playback |
| Pro | $15/month (billed monthly), or roughly $13/month per seat if billed annually (13% discount) | Up to 5 members | 2 TB included + 2 TB per additional member; 250 GB Mounted Storage | Custom-branded shares, passphrase protection, link expiration, comment attachments, one watermark template, 4K UHD playback, disabling downloads/comments |
| Team (Frame.io’s “most popular” tier) | $25/month (billed monthly), or roughly $21.75/month per seat billed annually | Up to 15 members | 3 TB included + 2 TB per additional member; 500 GB Mounted Storage | Restricted projects/folders, internal-only comments, HDR playback, unlimited watermark templates |
| Enterprise | Custom, contact sales | Custom | Custom + 2 TB Mounted Storage | Forensic and session-based watermarking, DRM, Storage Connect, dedicated account manager, SLA, priority support |
Two things worth knowing before you pick a plan: the seat counts above are hard caps, not soft recommendations, and there’s no self-serve option once you’re past 15 seats. That matters more than it sounds like — see the 25-seat example below.
This is the part most pricing roundups skip, and it’s the actual reason “frame.io pricing” search interest has climbed in 2026: Adobe owns Frame.io (acquired in 2021), and Creative Cloud subscribers keep hearing that Frame.io is “included.” It is, but only up to a point most teams hit fast.
If you’re on a full Creative Cloud All Apps plan, an individual Premiere Pro or After Effects subscription, or a student/teacher All Apps plan, you get a Frame.io tier with:
That’s a genuinely useful free tier for a solo editor or a two-person team. But the moment you add a third team member, or a project needs more than 100 GB, Adobe’s own documentation is explicit: you move to a Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan “billed separately.” Creative Cloud doesn’t subsidize that upgrade — you’re paying for Premiere Pro and Frame.io Pro or Team as two separate line items. For a 5-person editing team, that’s a full Creative Cloud All Apps subscription plus $75 to $900 a year in Frame.io Pro fees on top, not instead of.
If your team already lives in Adobe’s ecosystem for editing, that stacking cost is worth knowing before you assume Frame.io comes free with the tools you already pay for.
These are the numbers Frame.io’s calculator makes you dig for. Here’s the math done for you, using Frame.io’s published rates above.
A 5-person team fits exactly at Frame.io Pro’s seat cap.
Ten seats blow past Pro’s 5-member cap. You’re forced onto Team, even if you don’t need any Team-only feature.
This is where Frame.io’s pricing stops being a number at all. Team caps out at 15 members, so a 25-person team can’t self-serve a plan — you’re required to contact sales for a custom Enterprise quote. There’s no published rate to compare against; you’re negotiating from zero information.
The pattern across all three sizes: Frame.io’s cost isn’t linear. It steps up hard at 6 seats (forced off Pro) and again at 16 seats (forced into a sales conversation). Budgeting for “$15 or $25 per user” only works if your team stays under one of those two caps.
The numbers above cover the most common team sizes, but if yours falls somewhere in between, the calculator below runs the same comparison live: Frame.io, Krock.io, Wipster, Ziflow, and Filestage, adjustable by team size and storage need, monthly or annual billing.
Partially. Creative Cloud All Apps subscribers, individual Premiere Pro or After Effects subscribers, and student/teacher All Apps plans get a Frame.io tier with 100 GB of storage, 2 team members, and 5 projects at no extra cost. Add a third team member or exceed 100 GB, and you move to a separately billed Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan — Creative Cloud doesn’t cover that upgrade.
Yes. Adobe acquired Frame.io in 2021 and has integrated it into the Creative Cloud ecosystem, including direct access from Premiere Pro and After Effects. Frame.io still sells its Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans separately from a Creative Cloud subscription.
Frame.io’s paid plans start at $15 per user/month for Pro (up to 5 members) and $25 per user/month for Team (up to 15 members), both billed monthly, with roughly 13% off if you pay annually. Enterprise pricing is custom and requires contacting sales. The Free plan covers up to 2 members at no cost.
Frame.io offers a free trial on its paid plans. You’ll need to enter billing information to start one, but you won’t be charged unless you keep the plan active past the trial period. The separate Free plan (2 members, 2 GB storage) doesn’t require a trial or a credit card at all.
If per-seat pricing that jumps at 6 and 16 users doesn’t fit how your team is actually growing, Krock.io runs on a simpler model: $10/user/month on Pro with no seat cap forcing an upgrade, unlimited reviewers on every plan including Free, and a flat-fee Unlimited plan once a studio outgrows per-seat pricing altogether.
