What OpenFrame is
OpenFrame is a video review and approval platform for creative professionals and their clients. Reviewers can add timestamped comments, voice notes, and drawings to video frames, then compare two cuts side by side while scrubbing through them together. Live review synchronizes playback for up to 10 participants, but has no voice or video calls and is unavailable for YouTube imports. The service tracks approval status and exports feedback as PDF or CSV. Clients can review through a browser share link without creating an account. Listed integrations include YouTube and Google Drive imports, marker export for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and Telegram notifications, with optional Stripe, Bunny, SMTP, OAuth, and S3-compatible storage integrations. Plans include free self-hosting, Solo at $10 per month, and Studio at $29 per month. Solo includes one editor and 200 GB of storage; Studio includes unlimited editors and 1 TB. Hosted uploads pause when storage is full, while files are retained and no overage is billed. Self-hosting uses Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and MinIO.

Who it suits
OpenFrame suits creative teams that need clients to leave frame-specific feedback and track approvals. Its browser share links support clients who do not want to create accounts, while self-hosting is an option for users managing their own infrastructure.
Verdict
OpenFrame covers frame-level review, cut comparison, approval tracking, and feedback exports. Consider the live-review restrictions and storage terms when choosing between hosted plans and self-hosting.
