Fantastic app that delivers on its promises exceptionally well. (Updated)
Updated: As I've gotten to use the app more, I'm surprised by how fluid it is and how functional it is for my workflows, as well as how responsive the developer has been with my inquiries and/or feedback. To me, that's a really good sign, and I'm really excited for the future of this app.
I strongly advise anyone who has a video workflow or media workflow, for that matter, who wants to move past the terrible back and forth on different platforms and really centralize everything in one spot. This is by far the best Frame.io alternative you can get. The fact that it's on LTD is a really awesome opportunity.
Earlier review below:
This is an early review for me, but since no one else is reviewing it, I thought it would be appropriate to leave a review based off my initial experience.
So far, sitting with the videos was very seamless and easy. Inviting some freelancers into the workspace worked great, and they picked it up really quickly, which is great. That's gonna make the back and forth with video editing or deliverables much easier for me.
I left some questions in the question area, so I'll definitely revisit that on AppSumo. Videos load really quickly; the annotation is good. I think I could definitely use some keyboard shortcuts, though. Maybe I didn't find it—maybe not—but at least a button to show where the shortcuts are, or if you hover your mouse over it, would be very handy. One thing that I'm not quite certain on is the distinction between the personal and the team's plan, and what updates will accompany that, since that isn't really clear in the copy. For me, I just picked up the tier 2 to start with, but I'll evaluate that over the next 60 days. If you're like me and you looked at the solo plan versus the team plan, you're probably wondering why, if you played with add-on credits, you could get 1TB and 10 people on a team for nearly $100 less than just even starting on the team plan with 10 users and 250 terabytes. I'm not really certain why that is, but for that reason, I started with the team plan. So there's some stuff I'm not totally clear on, but it really does deliver on exactly what it needs to, frame by frame. And the app is clean. Instead of views, I'm really hoping for REST API, MCP-type functionalities because I really want this to talk to all my other apps, especially considering the agentic AI.
One use case for that is, for my AI-audited videos, if it ended up here once it's delivered, so that the editor or myself can manually review it and pass it or not. And so if the API point could create stages or tasks, and how that's done, that'd be great. Another thing I wanted is, when I'm doing bulk production, I'm not completely clear on whether the projects can be used for a ton of videos of the same type or template, or are projects really one-to-one for video? So that's also something I'm still not totally clear on. I know you can have multiple deliverables and such. But yeah, I thought I would mention that.
So overall, if you do any video for your business and you're like me and you've had to do a lot of back and forth and feedback loops, then you should at the very least get the solo plan today and give it a shot yourself. I mean, all these features I asked are super nice to have and I'm going to make sure I use this for years to come, but if you have an immediate use case, this is a no-brainer as much as I've used

Jun 4, 2026Hey MRBEAR!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to write a very first one and such a thoughtful review - and for diving deep enough into the product to ask the kinds of questions that help us think about where Kreatli should go next.
I'm especially happy to hear that the core workflow delivered on its promise: fast video loading, smooth reviews, straightforward collaboration, and an onboarding experience your freelancers were able to pick up quickly. That's exactly what we're aiming for.
A few quick notes:
1. Keyboard shortcuts are a great suggestion. Added to our roadmap!
2. Projects are not limited to a single video. Many teams use a project as a client, campaign, content series, or production container with multiple deliverables inside.
3. The Personal vs Team distinction and pricing structure is something we're actively refining based on feedback - thanks for pointing that out.
I also appreciate your questions on agentic workflows, APIs, MCP, and context-aware video systems. While those aren't currently on our near-term roadmap, I personally believe the industry is moving quickly in that direction. For now, we're focused on making sure the core production workflow is rock-solid before expanding into more advanced automation and intelligence layers.
Thanks again for being an early supporter and for leaving such a balanced review. Reviews like this help future customers understand both what Kreatli does well today and where we're continuing to evolve.
Best,
George, Founder & CEO of Kreatli
