Frame.io is the standard for video teams who edit in Premiere Pro and After Effects. Honter covers the rest of an agency’s client work, from decks to display ads, with short-form video as one of eight formats.

Filestage is a capable proofing platform with review stages, due dates and compliance checks. Honter is lighter and far cheaper, and it shows clients the work in context instead of as a flat file.

Ziflow is enterprise-grade proofing, with automated workflows, 1,200+ file types and deep Adobe integrations. Honter is built for smaller teams who need clients to review creative quickly, without a rollout project.

Pastel is a friendly tool for collecting feedback on live websites, and it now handles images, PDFs, emails and video too. Honter shows every format where it will live and adds AI reviewers before the client step.

InVision closed its design collaboration services at the end of 2024. Many teams used it to share designs with clients and collect comments. Honter covers that part of the job, across more formats than InVision did.

Planable is built for social media teams who plan, approve and publish posts in one place. Honter is built for creative review: it shows ads, decks, emails and more in context and gets them signed off, but it doesn’t publish.
