In their own words
Playbook
Playbook is a digital asset management platform for organizing and sharing creative files, including images, video, audio, documents, and 3D models. It supports formats such as JPEG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, MP4, MOV, MP3, PDF, PSD, and AI. Metadata and tagging, approval workflows, version history, guest sharing, and API access are listed capabilities. Playbook is available on the web, iOS, and Android, with a desktop sync app; two-way desktop syncing is restricted to paid plans. Share links can require passwords and have expiration dates, while paid plans add shared-link controls. Security features include encryption at rest, two-factor authentication, backups, and malware scanning. The free plan is free and includes 100GB storage, up to 300 assets, three members, three guests, one publish page, and 1,000 API calls monthly. Pro costs $10 a month when billed yearly, per member, and includes 2TB storage. Plans apply per workspace owned by the account owner.
Unity Version Control
Unity Version Control is an engine-agnostic source control tool for game development teams working with large files and binaries. It supports centralized and distributed workflows with branching and merging, as well as file-based workflows for artists. Smart Locks check that a user has the latest version before allowing a file lock, helping reduce merge conflicts. Teams can use Unity-hosted cloud servers or run the server on their own infrastructure. Desktop clients are available for Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel, and Linux. Named integrations and supported tools include JIRA, Rider, TeamCity, Jenkins, Bamboo, Unreal Engine and Discord. The free tier is free and includes unlimited cloud seats, 25 GB storage per organization per month and 100 GB egress per month; usage beyond included limits is pay-as-you-go. Unity lists on-prem seats at $38 a month. Upload and download communications use SSL, and permissions can be set for repositories, branches and individual items.
