What does your software cost you a month?
A small video studio buying the usual tool for each job would pay about $210 a month across seven tools. One of them, OffShoot, is a license you buy once, spread here over a year. Change any row to what you pay, and we compare it with a Cutvey plan and tell you plainly what you would still keep. No email needed.
List prices checked November 2026 on each seller's own pricing page.
Every row is yours to change. Your card statement has the real figures, and a plan you do not have should be cleared.
How we count
The filled rows are one stack with no overlap: seven tools a small studio would pay for to cover the jobs one Cutvey plan does. That is where our tool count comes from. Each figure is a list price read from the seller's own pricing page in November 2026, with the plan named beside it. Where a tool charges by the person, as HoneyBook, StudioBinder and Frame.io do, we priced two people. Dropbox Plus and QuickBooks Simple Start are one-person plans, so a second person on either would cost more than we show.
HoneyBook already does proposals, contracts, invoices, scheduling and forms, so a separate proposal app or form builder stays empty unless you pay for one. HoneyBook and StudioBinder both track tasks, so a project board such as monday.com or Notion would cover the same job twice. Intuit lists mileage tracking with QuickBooks Simple Start, so MileIQ would too. StudioBinder has lookbooks, so Milanote would too. Slack, Sortly and Toggl have free plans that suit a small studio. And most studios never rent their gear out, so Booqable is not part of the usual stack. Those rows start empty, each with its list price on an Add button, so you can count the ones you really pay for. A stack that counted every job twice would look bigger, and it would be wrong.
Two figures are not plain monthly prices. HoneyBook shows its plans billed yearly. OffShoot is a one-time purchase: its license is perpetual and comes with a year of updates, so we spread the $169 over 12 months to set it beside the others. After the first year that row drops away unless you buy updates, and the same stack comes to about $196 a month across six subscriptions. We compare against Pro at its monthly price, the higher of the two, and a yearly Pro plan is $59 a month.
What Cutvey would not replace in that stack
- Frame.io's Camera to Cloud and editing panels. If footage has to reach your editor from set, keep it for that.
- Dropbox as a backup. Cutvey replaces the delivery link. It is not an archive or a backup, so keep your masters somewhere of your own.
- QuickBooks or Xero when your accountant wants it. Cutvey can send invoices and payments to QuickBooks Online or Xero, one way. Books covers simple and double-entry bookkeeping, without payroll. See Cutvey and QuickBooks.
- MileIQ on an Android phone. Cutvey's drive tracking is in its iPhone app, for seats that manage finances. Cutvey and MileIQ.
- Booqable's online booking page. Cutvey rents gear out on Pro and up, from a quote you build. It has no storefront where renters book by themselves. Cutvey and Booqable.
- Notion for your company's writing. Cutvey has documents on each project and no company wiki. Cutvey and Notion.
- StudioBinder on a long scripted schedule. Cutvey's breakdown and stripboard suit commercial and documentary work. A feature with a long board may still want a dedicated scheduler.
Plan limits still apply. A Solo plan includes one person, ten active projects and 100 GB of storage, so check that a plan fits before you cancel anything. The plan table has every limit.
