Cutvey plans: Solo $49, Pro $99 and Studio $199 a month, or $29, $59 and $119 a month billed yearly. Every plan has every stage of the job. Plans differ by people, projects, storage and limits.
Plutio Pro is half the price of Cutvey Pro and allows far more people. If your work fits it, that is a real saving.
Where Plutio is strong
Breadth for the money. Proposals, contracts with e-signature, invoices, time tracking, tasks and a client portal sit in one app, with a lot of room to shape it to your process. It suits an agency or freelancer whose jobs are mostly the same shape, and its time tracking turns into invoice lines. Its reviews are public on Capterra, G2 and Trustpilot, and the company shows them openly.
The gap for video
Plutio's own page for video producers treats a shoot day as a task with a call time, a location and a crew list, and a rough cut as a status: the client approves or asks for changes in the portal. For large footage, that page suggests many producers use a transfer service such as Frame.io or Dropbox alongside it. It lists crew costs as line items. It does not mention call sheets by name.
That is a fair way to run a video job in a general tool. Cutvey goes further where the work happens. Crew have rates and availability, and a booking flags a clash. The call sheet is a real sheet with the forecast, sunrise and sunset and the nearest hospital. A note sits on the frame, with drop-frame timecode from the file's own start, and the client compares versions in the same room.

The test of a general tool
General tools are honest about what they are. Plutio's page for video producers suggests running a shoot day as a task and a review as a status, and for a one-person brand film that holds up well enough.
Try it on a harder job. Three shoot days in two cities, six crew, one of them on a hold. A call time changes on day two, and only the camera team needs to know. The client's agency reviews v1 and the brand reviews v2, and someone asks which version legal approved. Crew invoices come in with overtime on one of them, and a W-9 is missing.
You can build all of that in a flexible tool with enough custom fields and enough patience. Someone will have to maintain it, and that someone is usually you. In Cutvey those are already things it knows about: a hold is different from a booking, a call sheet tracks each person, a version keeps its own approval record, and a crew invoice carries its document.
If your jobs never get that hard, you should not pay for the difference.
When to choose Plutio
- You do video and other client work, and want one general tool for all of it.
- Your jobs are one person with no crew to book.
- You have nine active clients or fewer, and $19 a month covers it.
- You want a big team on a small bill.
Where Cutvey falls short
It costs more on the first two plans. At the top, Plutio Max and Cutvey Studio are both $199 a month, and billed yearly Studio is $1,428 against Max's $1,990. It is less flexible, because it has a shape: phases, crew, cuts, deliveries. A marketing agency would be fighting it. Solo is one person, and Pro is five before you add seats. There are no public reviews of it yet.
Switching from Plutio
Clients and leads move by CSV, up to 2,000 rows a file, and open invoices and active projects have their own imports. A full check runs before anything saves. Import a CSV.
Frequently asked
Is Plutio good for videographers?
For a solo videographer with simple jobs, yes. Once you hire crew or clients start asking which version they approved, you will be building those parts yourself.
Does Cutvey do time tracking?
Yes: timers, entries by project, and mileage, all on the job's money page.
