Krock.io vs ShortPlay Studio

Krock.io is video review software and a creative collaboration platform for teams working with media. Reviewers can leave text comments, drawings, attachments, and time-coded feedback on video, images, audio, PDFs, and multi-page PDFs. It can generate storyboards from text and includes project templates, workspaces, workload Gantt charts, and a calendar view. Listed integrations include Adobe Creative Cloud, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Slack, calendar sync, and webhooks. It is available on the web, macOS, Windows, and as an extension. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one user, 2 GB storage, one workspace, two projects, 50 AI Tokens, and unlimited reviewers. Pro costs $10 a month per user, while Unlimited costs $400 a month with 100 users included. All plans include standard customer support; the team says it aims to respond within 1–2 business days. Krock.io says media files are stored on Amazon S3 and core application servers run on DigitalOcean IaaS. It also says individual accounts can use two-factor authentication and that user content is not used to teach AI models.

ShortPlay Studio is a web-based workflow for turning scripts or scene outlines into shot-by-shot visual plans and review-ready video drafts. It separates scripts into scenes and shots, identifies characters and locations, and supports reusable characters, locations, scenes, and props for continuity. Storyboard rows can record camera shots, movement, visual content, dialogue, sound, duration, and prompts. Approved storyboard beats can become vertical shot frames, then continue into video generation and composition for a draft. The product focuses on 9:16 vertical frames for short drama and positions itself before final video generation. Users can export storyboard frames, reusable references, or a video draft for approval. Script import, shot sequencing, frame generation, shot annotations, and team collaboration are supported. Intended audiences include short drama teams, agencies and pitch teams, directors and producers, and content and training teams. The Free plan costs nothing and includes two credits. Basic costs $30, paid once for 70 credits; Pro costs $60, paid once for 150 credits and priority support.
