Built for Review.
Not Just Hosting.
Vimeo's review tools are a feature of a video hosting platform. FileFeedback is a purpose-built creative approval tool — for video, images, and PDFs — with a review workflow at its core.
FileFeedback
Purpose-built for creative review and approval
Review-First Design
Every feature exists to help you collect, organise, and act on feedback.
All File Types
Videos, images, and PDFs reviewed in the same unified workspace.
Version Management
Upload new versions and compare feedback across revisions.
No Hosting Subscription Required
You're paying for review workflows, not video hosting you may not need.
Vimeo Review
Video hosting with review features added on
Hosting-First Platform
Review is a secondary feature built on top of a hosting product.
Video Only
Not designed for reviewing images, PDFs, or static design files.
Subscription Required
Requires an active Vimeo Business or higher plan to access review tools.
Comment Accumulation
Old comments from previous versions can linger and cause confusion.
Why teams switch to FileFeedback
Cleaner feedback threads
Vimeo comments accumulate across versions, making it hard to know which feedback applies to which cut. FileFeedback keeps each version's feedback separate and organised.
Not just video
Review the brand guide, the social stills, and the ad copy in the same tool you use for video. One less platform to manage.
No hosting dependency
FileFeedback is a review tool, not a hosting platform. You're not paying for storage you might not need, or features irrelevant to the approval process.
Common questions
Does FileFeedback support timestamped video comments like Vimeo Review?
Yes. FileFeedback supports frame-accurate, timestamped comments on video files. Reviewers can click any point in the video timeline and leave a precise comment tied to that moment.
Do I still need Vimeo if I use FileFeedback?
FileFeedback handles the review and approval workflow. If you also need public video hosting for a portfolio or marketing site, you might keep Vimeo for that purpose. But for internal review and client approvals, FileFeedback replaces the Vimeo review workflow.
Can reviewers comment without a Vimeo account?
With Vimeo Review, reviewers often need a Vimeo account. With FileFeedback, anyone with the review link can leave comments — no account needed.
How does FileFeedback handle multiple video versions?
Each uploaded version gets its own comment thread, so feedback on v1 and v2 never gets mixed up. You can review all versions on the same thread page with clear version labels.
