Wipster: cost, fit and limits
Wipster is an online video review and approval tool made by WIP APP Limited, a New Zealand company, that lets creative teams upload video, images, PDFs and audio, collect frame-accurate comments and run multi-step approvals, with panels inside Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere.
What to know first
Wipster sells Light at $9.95 a month billed annually for individuals, Team at $19.95 per user per month billed annually and a custom Enterprise tier. There is no free plan, only a trial without a credit card whose length is not stated. The navigation names WipAI Automated Media Review, and the page does not describe it. Pricing is in dollars on the page read.

Who Wipster is best for
Freelance video editors
Light costs $9.95 a month billed annually, with about 50 GB, HD playback and unlimited sharing and projects, which suits an individual sending cuts to clients.
Video teams in editing software
The Wipster Review Panel inside Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere lets editors navigate comment timecodes and check off tasks without leaving the timeline.
Agencies needing approval trails
Multi-step approval workflows record who approved what and when, which helps when a client disputes whether a version was signed off.

What Wipster does
- Frame-accurate comments
- Comments pin to a specific frame or spot with timestamps and appear to other reviewers in real time, and reviewers do not need an account.
- Version comparison
- Any two versions can sit side by side so reviewers see what changed between rounds, which cuts repeated notes about edits that were already made.
- Staged approvals
- Approval workflows run in several stages with an audit trail, and feedback resolves as tasks, ending in a recorded stakeholder sign-off. Reviewers then see each decision in order.
- Editor panels
- The Review Panel sits inside Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere so editors read comments against the timeline and mark each task done in place.
How Wipster handles your data
The privacy policy does not address AI model training, and the terms grant a license to develop the services, so whether customer media is used that way is unconfirmed. Personal data is deleted when no longer needed and no legal obligation applies, and it may remain on backup systems for up to 90 days after deletion. No hosting region is specified, and data may be transferred to New Zealand and the United States. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are not mentioned in the policy, which points to a Security section of the website that we did not open.
Where Wipster falls short in practice
- No free plan. Only a trial is offered, and its length is not stated, so a buyer cannot plan an evaluation window without asking the vendor directly. Ask for the trial length first.
- Storage is tight below Enterprise. Light holds about 50 GB and Team starts at 250 GB with paid add-ons, which video teams with raw cuts may exceed within a few months.
- AI is only a name. WipAI Automated Media Review appears in navigation without a description, so its function and accuracy cannot be judged from the pages we read. Ask for a live demonstration.

Wipster: common questions
Does Wipster have a free plan?
No. The pricing page lists Light, Team and Enterprise and offers a free trial without a credit card, with the length not stated. Light is the cheapest paid tier at $9.95 a month billed annually, or $11.95 billed monthly. Ask which features the trial includes.
What does Wipster Team cost?
Team is $19.95 per user per month billed annually or $25 per user per month billed monthly. It starts at 250 GB of storage with paid add-ons and includes closed captions, adjustable playback speed, custom branding and team-only comments, with no user limit.
Is there a Wipster plugin for Premiere?
Yes. The vendor lists a Wipster Review Panel inside Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere, which lets editors navigate comment timecodes and check off tasks. The pages did not say whether the panel needs a paid plan, so confirm during the trial.
What is WipAI Automated Media Review?
WipAI appears in the product navigation, and the page we read gave no description of what it does. Ask the vendor which checks it runs, which file types it covers and whether it uses customer media for model training. It may also help to ask whether it is included in Team.
Can reviewers comment without an account?
Yes. The vendor says reviewers do not need an account to leave comments on uploaded video, images, PDFs or audio, and files have no size limit. Comments pin to a frame or a spot and other reviewers see them in real time.
