Prelap vs Dropbox Replay
Dropbox Replay is a solid review layer if your team lives in Dropbox. With Prelap, your client records a voice note on the review link instead of WhatsApp, and you get a timestamped revision checklist.
The difference in one paragraph
Every video review tool, even the ones that say 'no login for clients,' still asks your client to work the tool's way: find the comment box, pick the frame, type tidy notes. Prelap asks for the one thing clients already do all day: talk. They open one link, with no account or app, and record a voice note right there instead of sending it in WhatsApp, or type, or draw on the frame. Texts and emails that still arrive elsewhere can be pasted in. Either way, you get a clean, timestamped revision checklist.

Pricing comparison
Replay is an add-on priced per user: $10 per user per month billed annually ($12 monthly) on top of a paid Dropbox plan (Plus or higher). Dropbox Basic accounts get limited free Replay use.

When Dropbox Replay is the better choice
We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. Dropbox Replay is a review and approval add-on for teams whose footage already lives in Dropbox.
- Your raw footage, project files and deliverables already live in Dropbox and you want review inside the same storage.
- You run live, real-time review sessions with several stakeholders watching together.
- You need watermarking and password-protected links for pre-release content.
- You want comments to show up inside Premiere Pro, Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve through Dropbox's own panels.
Replay is a good fit for teams that already pay for Dropbox and whose reviewers will type comments on a review page. Prelap is built for clients who would rather talk: they record a voice note on a zero-login link, and Prelap turns it into an editor-ready checklist, with markers exported to your NLE at the project's frame rate.
Frequently asked questions
Is Prelap a Dropbox Replay alternative?+
Yes, for editors and small studios whose clients would rather talk than type. Replay expects the reviewer to leave typed, frame-accurate comments on a Dropbox review page. In Prelap the client records a voice note on a zero-login link, and AI structures it into a timestamped checklist.
How much does Dropbox Replay cost compared with Prelap?+
Dropbox Replay is a per-user add-on at $10 per user per month billed annually, or $12 monthly, and it requires a paid Dropbox plan such as Plus. Prelap is flat per workspace: Free at $0, Solo at $19 per month and Agency at $79 per month with unlimited seats. Reviewer seats are free on both, but Replay's cost grows with every editor you add.
Do my clients need a Dropbox account to leave feedback?+
With Replay, guest reviewers can comment on a shared project without a Dropbox account, but they still have to open the review page and use its tools. With Prelap there is nothing to open: the client sends a voice note or an email, and you get a checklist. A zero-login review link is available if they prefer to watch and comment in the browser.
Can I get the feedback onto my timeline?+
Both can. Replay shows comments inside Premiere Pro, Final Cut and Resolve through Dropbox's integrations. Prelap exports the whole checklist as timeline markers for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and CapCut, plus a universal EDL, at your project's exact frame rate, with the category and any 'new request' flag carried into each marker.
The feedback loop Dropbox Replaycan't do
Prelap is in early access. Start free, share a link (or just let your client keep texting you), and watch their voice notes become a timestamped checklist. Founding users get in before public launch and help shape the product.
