Krock.io Review
A review-and-approval platform with a built-in AI storyboard tool — a budget Frame.io alternative.
Try Krock.io →Bottom line
Krock.io is primarily a media review-and-collaboration platform — time-coded comments, version comparison and unlimited reviewers on every plan, including free — with an AI-powered storyboard and animatic tool built in as one feature among many. If your priority is fast, cheap team feedback on storyboards and cuts, it is a strong budget option; if you need a dedicated generative storyboard engine, it is not the focus.
Quick facts
Who it’s for
Best for
- Animation studios, video production companies and agencies who want storyboard-through-final-approval in one platform
- Teams that need unlimited reviewers, time-coded comments and version comparison on a budget
- Anyone who wants to turn AI-generated storyboards into team-reviewable assets with no-account shareable links
Not for
- Anyone who wants a dedicated, generation-first storyboard tool — the AI storyboard feature sits inside a broader review platform, not the other way around
- Teams that need serious task-tracking or Gantt-style project management, which G2 reviewers call basic
- Large-file-heavy workflows on slow connections, since big uploads are reported to be slow
Pros and cons
Pros
- Unlimited reviewers on every plan, including the free tier
- Time-coded comments and version comparison (overlay and auto-compare) across video, images and PDFs
- Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro integration, plus DaVinci, FCP and Slack support
- Krock reports 80,000+ professionals using it, with cited figures of 59% less review time, 30% fewer versions and 56% faster completion; G2 reviewers praise ease of use and real-time feedback
Cons
- The storyboard/AI tool is one feature within a review platform, not a dedicated generator
- Task-tracking and Gantt-style features are basic, per G2 reviews
- Large file uploads are reported to be slow, and the mobile view is weak for charts and tables
- Support is described as “good but not that advanced” by at least one reviewer
Krock’s free tier includes unlimited reviewers and 50 AI tokens, enough to test the storyboard and review workflow on a small project.

Our verdict
Krock.io is, at its core, a media review-and-collaboration platform in the mold of Frame.io, Wipster, Ziflow and Filestage, and it positions itself explicitly as the budget alternative to that group. Time-coded comments, overlay and auto-compare version comparison, and unlimited reviewers on every plan — including the free one — are the actual product; the AI-powered “Board” storyboard and animatic tool sits inside that platform as one feature rather than the headline act. Krock cites figures of 59% less review time, 30% fewer versions and 56% faster completion, and reports 80,000+ professionals using the platform.
G2 reviewers consistently praise the ease of use, real-time feedback and version control, and one reviewer specifically describes using it to turn “AI-generated storyboards I use for planning” into team-reviewable assets — a workflow that fits Krock’s strength well: bring your storyboard from elsewhere, or generate a simple one with the 50 free AI tokens, then let the whole team comment and approve. Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro integration, along with DaVinci, Final Cut Pro and Slack support, make it easy to slot into an existing pipeline.
The honest caveat is that this is not a dedicated storyboard generator. G2 reviews describe the task-tracking and Gantt-style features as basic, large file uploads as slow, and support as “good but not that advanced.” If generation quality and volume matter more to you than review workflow, Katalist or Boords are worth comparing; if review and approval across a whole team is the actual bottleneck, Krock’s price point is hard to beat.
