Plans built around hours, not headcount.
iconik combines user tiers with storage choices. Cutsio plans measure active storage in footage hours and provide separate visual-indexing allowances. A 30-minute project uses 30 minutes of storage allowance regardless of bitrate, and external reviewers can use browser share links.
