Hi,\u000a\u000a1. How is your tool different Volley (a previous Appsumo deal) and Markup Hero (a current Appsumo deal). What are the overlapping features and differences, since all three seem similar to me. \u000a\u000a2. What do you mean by video encoding minutes, what are these? How will I use them?\u000a\u000a3. Can I add and remove members and guests on need basis, since I work mainly with freelancers.\u000a\u000a4. Can I upload all types of files to collaborate?\u000a\u000a5. Where are you based and how long have you been in business? Can\u0027t you add pictor contests pro version with this deal? Can your pictor contests be used for getting other files instead of only images?\u000a\u000aThanks

Hi Sumo\u002Dling,\u000a\u000aThank you for the questions. \u000a\u002D Unfortunately I don\u0027t have any personal experience with Volley or Markup Hero. Volley seems to be focused on asynchronous video conversations. Markup Hero has powerful annotation features for still images. Picter Workspace offers you time\u002Dbased annotations on videos and markup functions for stills. \u000a\u000a\u002D The video encoding minutes in your plan are only relevant if you upload video content. If you upload a video to Picter it needs to be encoded for the web preview and annotation features to work. Depending on how long the video file is that you upload, the video length gets counted against your monthly encoding minutes.\u000a\u000a\u002D Yes, you can add and remove Workspace members on a need basis.\u000a\u000a\u002D Yes, you can upload all file types to collaborate up to 5GB file size. Visual annotation works only on supported video and image file types (Visually supported image file types: JPG, TIF, PNG, GIF, PDF. Video formats with web preview: MOV, MP4, MPG, M4V and M2TS)\u000a\u000a\u002D Picter is based in Germany and founded in 2017. Picter Contests is a separate application and is not included in this deal. For now Picter contests is meant for image files with additional support for PDFs and URLs. \u000aThe Picter account to submit to our photo contests is completely free though in case that is what you are looking for.\u000a\u000aBest wishes,\u000aSebastian

As someone who uses both Markup Hero and Picter, I can tell you these tools are very different and do compliment each other. Markup HERO has replaced SnagIt for me and I use it regularly to capture screens and other assets \u002D Markup Hero reaches its limit for me with client and team collaboration and annotations. Markup Hero\u0027s interface is great for pen annotations of quick edits that can be changed on the screen\u003B while Picter\u0027s interface works great when you have more than 3 people collaborating. It also allows for more detailed descriptions of requested changes for my contractors. The way it manages Collections and permissions for guest is great for clients and contractors alike. As for Volley \u002D I did purchase that as well, but the annotation functions were limited because I couldn\u0027t do pen annotations \u002D I needed something that allowed me to be more expressive in adjustments I want made \u002D these are features Picter does much better than Volley.
