The Frame.io Alternative for Agencies That Also Replaces Your Stack
If you are looking for a Frame.io alternative for agencies, you have probably outgrown a tool built for post-production studios and realised it does nothing for client onboarding, ad reporting, or delivery boards. Agentryx includes Mux-hosted creative review with time-coded video comments and image pin comments — and it is one module inside an operating system your whole agency runs on.
Why agencies start looking for a Frame.io alternative
Frame.io is genuinely good at what it was built for: collaborative video review for film and post-production teams. But lead-gen agencies are not post-production studios. You are managing five, ten, twenty paid-media clients simultaneously. You need creative review, yes — but you also need the client to see their ad performance, approve tasks, sign off on deliverables, and communicate with your team, all in one place. Frame.io gives you exactly one of those things.
The complaints that push agencies out of Frame.io tend to be the same. Per-seat pricing compounds fast as you add clients and client reps. The tool has no concept of a client portal, no delivery boards, no ad data. You end up paying for Frame.io on top of ClickUp, Slack, Looker Studio, and HubSpot — and your clients still do not have a single place to log in. That is the buying trigger for most agencies who land on this page.

Where Frame.io still wins
If your agency does a lot of long-form video production — episodic work, broadcast spots, multi-minute brand films — Frame.io's review tooling is more mature. Its integration with Adobe Premiere and After Effects is native and deeply built. The review interface is faster for pure video workflows with large files and multi-reviewer threads from a post-production perspective. If creative review for video is literally the only problem you need to solve and you do not need anything else, Frame.io is purpose-built in a way Agentryx is not trying to replicate on that narrow axis.
Where Frame.io falls short for lead-gen agencies
Lead-gen agencies are not doing broadcast post-production. You are producing short-form ad creatives, landing page assets, and social content — and you need the client to approve them inside the same portal where they see their ad spend, their pipeline, and their next tasks. Frame.io has no concept of any of that. You are always stitching it into another stack and paying for every seat twice.
How Agentryx fills the gaps Frame.io leaves
The aha moment most agencies describe: a client logs into their branded portal, sees this week's ad creatives ready for review, leaves a time-coded comment on the video, approves the image variant, checks their CPL from the past 7 days, and replies to a message — all without leaving one URL. No one sent them five separate links.
Creative review: Agentryx hosts video through Mux. Clients and team members leave time-coded comments at the exact second. Images get pin comments the same way Figma works. Versions stack so you can see what changed. The client presses Approve or Reject inside their portal and the status updates on the agency side instantly. This covers the core Frame.io use case for the ad creative formats lead-gen agencies actually produce.
White-labelled portal: Every client gets [yourslug].agentryx.io/portal with your agency's logo, name, and brand colours. "Powered by Agentryx" is hidden. Frame.io has no equivalent — review links are Frame.io-branded and completely disconnected from any client relationship context.
Delivery boards: Kanban boards per client per platform. You save your Setup → Production → Review → Live → Optimising template once and deploy it to every new client in seconds. Frame.io has no project management layer at all.
Ad reporting: Connect Meta Ads and Google Ads once at the agency level and every client's spend, leads, CPL, and ROAS update daily with no manual exports. Frame.io has no reporting.
Pricing: Agentryx charges per tier with unlimited team seats. At the Growth tier ($429/month), you cover 10 active clients. Frame.io charges per seat, which means every client rep, closer, and creative you add to a review costs more. For a 10-person agency managing 8 clients, the difference in annual cost is significant.
Who Agentryx is built for
Agentryx is built for lead-generation agencies running paid media — Meta Ads and Google Ads — across multiple clients simultaneously. If you use GoHighLevel, want a white-labelled client experience, and are tired of stitching together five separate tools just to run one client engagement, this is the operating system your team will actually use. It is not for freelancers managing one or two clients, creative agencies whose work is primarily brand and design rather than performance, or organic-only social media agencies with no paid media component.
Questions agencies ask when switching from Frame.io
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every self-serve tier (Starter, Growth, Pro) includes a 7-day free trial. No credit card tricks — you get the full tier for 7 days. If you want to see it before committing to a trial, the demo at agentryx.io/demo walks through the full product.
How much does it cost?
Starter is $149/month (3 active clients, 2,000 AI credits). Growth is $429/month (10 active clients, 7,000 AI credits, white-labelled portal). Pro is $1,199/month (30 active clients, 21,000 AI credits, priority support). Annual billing saves roughly 17% — two months free. There is no overage billing; when you hit your client cap, the product shows an upgrade prompt rather than charging you more.
Does Agentryx actually replace Frame.io's video review, or is it a lite version?
For the video formats lead-gen agencies produce — short-form ad creatives, social content, VSLs — the Mux-hosted review with time-coded comments and version stacking covers everything you need. For long-form post-production on broadcast or film work, Frame.io's Adobe integrations are deeper. If your agency is producing 15–90 second ad creatives for Meta and Google, Agentryx review is sufficient and your client never has to leave their portal to use it.
What happens to my existing Frame.io projects when I switch?
You would upload assets directly into Agentryx going forward. There is no automated import from Frame.io. Most agencies migrate by starting new client projects in Agentryx and letting active Frame.io reviews complete before switching fully. The client onboarding flow in Agentryx creates a workspace and delivery boards automatically, so setup for new clients is fast.
How does the client portal work for creative review specifically?
When your team uploads a creative to a client's workspace, it appears in that client's portal under their review queue. They click the video, see the timeline, and drop a comment at the exact second — or click a pin on an image. They then press Approve or Reject. Your team sees the status change in real time. No separate review link, no Frame.io branding, no extra login.
Can clients generate their own content from the portal?
Yes. You can enable the content engine for a client, and they can generate LinkedIn posts and short-form video scripts from their portal using their own onboarding profile as the voice reference. It is scoped to their content only — they cannot see anything from other clients. This is optional; you can keep content generation internal to your team if you prefer.
Does Agentryx integrate with GoHighLevel?
Yes. GHL is a per-client integration — you connect it during client onboarding. Leads sync into the Sales Floor, where your Closer and SDR dashboards pick them up. Call logging and commission calculation happen inside Agentryx from there. This is one of the core integrations the product is built around.
What is the difference between the Growth and Pro tiers for creative review?
Creative review itself is available on every tier — there is no feature lock on it. The difference is the active client cap (10 on Growth, 30 on Pro), the monthly AI credit pool (7,000 vs 21,000), and priority support on Pro. If you are managing up to 10 clients, Growth covers the full creative review workflow for all of them.
One platform. Creative review, ad reporting, client portal, delivery boards — all in one place.
If you are paying for Frame.io plus ClickUp plus Slack plus Looker Studio, you are spending more than $1,800 a month to do what Agentryx does at $429. The 7-day trial costs nothing to find out whether it fits.
