Top Rated Wipster Alternatives
There are many features of Wipster that we've come to rely upon. What's been particularly good is that, as we've added more and more videos over the years, Wipster has developed new tools to make it even better. What is particularly useful now is that for clients with multiple projects associated with them, you can organise and group them into different folders, rather than just having projects pile up sequentially. All in all, it's a platform we couldn't live without, and because it's never let us down, we don't have much interest in any competitor products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only issue we sometimes have is with clients still choosing to watch the video in Wipster and then write down their comments in an email... I guess there will always be some that prefer doing things the old way. That said, we rely on Wipster so much that we still input that feedback back into Wipster ourselves to accurately keep track of amends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the easy login interface that Wipster implements for reviewers. It is easy to review the video without signing up for the software. And I also like how you can check a box indicating you edited that particular spot in the video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be nice if Wipster could add a " Add a Thumbnail" button in the options bar at the overview screen. I didn't notice you could add or change the thumbnail until you reviewed the video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy for me as a power user to go into our different project folders and review comments left on our videos. It's super easy to share video projects with clients and allow them to download directly from the link, as needed. Their newer interface when sharing multiple videos through a single link has also improved and helped us track our edits better when sharing multi-video projects for client review (instead of using individual links). The allowance for guest accounts is really nice, too. We have our external partners directly upload videos into their own specific folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When sharing multiple links, it can get tricky to keep everything straight. It's also kind of annoying when you click on videos within a folder that the video you click on most recently populates to the top of the folder. I do kind of wish moving videos between folders in the side-bar was a little easier (i.e. drag and drop). Overall, easy to use and we don't have a lot of problems with it.

I love that it is easy to jump through my timeline and look at comments. Wipster makes it super easy to share content with clients and get feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that I can't reorganize my folders in my dock, I'd love to be able to hide old content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wipster enables our clients to leave feedback directly on WIP videos, marking their comment at the exact timecode and location of their click. It makes it quicker for both parties to identify where changes are needed compared to when they manually type out feedback in an email or try to supply their own screenshots. I like that you can generate multiple unique URLs to a given video and disable them independently if needed. You can also choose whether to share with a finish commenting button, an approval button, or with no comment/approval functionality at all if its the final version and they just need a download link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They might need better tutorials or more intuitive UI, because some clients don't understand how to use Wipster properly. In particular, the finish commenting button is rarely used correctly. It's meant to notify us that a given commenter has left all the feedback they intend to leave, but most don't use it at all (perhaps out of fear they will be locked out of commenting even if they discover another issue), and some think the button is required to save their comments.
The discontinuing of the unlimited user plan that we were grandfathered into could have been better communicated to us too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple to use. The ability to tag comments right into/onto the video makes it easy to provide specific feedback to someone without watching the video together on the same device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Storage space is throttled depending on the paid plan, but as a freemium product, it's hard to be too bothered by that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like the most about Wipster is that I can pick the exact time or spot on a video where I want to comment. It is effortless to use and very straightforward to share and bring people feedback on your projects. I mostly use Wipster to review my student's projects and give them instant and precise feedback; it works even better than giving comments in person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only issue I found is when two comments are too close in time, and you want to open them. When this happens, you can only open one, and the other is practically impossible to view. This can be confusing when you want to comment to separate aspects in the same time code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We love that it is so intuitive for your clients, they never have issues using it and all comments are consolidated in one spot. Before it use to always be super long emails with timecodes that we needed to interpret! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I dislike is that we didn't have it sooner :-) Otherwise, the platform is great, it always works as expected. I also love the new payment system allowing us to pay more when we need it more, and less when we aren't doing animations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wipster is a very handy app for a visual studio like ours. We use Wipster daily to get feedback on storyboards, style frames and videos we are creating for our clients. Wipster allows our clients to open a video or storyboard and make comments and feedback exactly where the input is relevant. In-app comments and discussions can be made by all team members and stakeholders working on the video or storyboard. Wipster is an invaluable app for the day-to-day running of our studio and has been an instrumental tool in helping create the productions that make our clients happy. Another great feature is that we linked Wipster to our studio's Slack account. Whenever a client or team member makes a comment or an update to the production we are notified on Slack - which has proven to be very useful too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To be honest there is not much we dislike about Wipster. Everything works as it should and it is a very user-friendly app to use. The only issue we have had in the past is some login issues for some of our clients wanting to review work - but these are nornmally sorted out within a few hours max.

It's an easy way to share and collaborate on a video with freelancers on UpWork. I love being able to leave notes/feedback on the video at specific time markers and on specific areas of the video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's nothing that I dislike. I'm just noticing that along with my written notes, I'm sometimes creating feedback videos to talk through explanations or show visuals of what I want. So I think if there were a way to just add audio feedback so I can talk through what I want at a specific spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best things about Wipster are the timecode-specific comments and how easy it is to share with my clients. One link can work for everyone. The tools are intuitive so I don't need to explain anything. It helps my clients make specific, action-oriented notes with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I only wish that the interface could run a little faster! The load times can drag on review pages. Also sometimes the notes get long and clutter the frame. Maybe an easier way to manage long notes with several replies? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
