Sprout
On public price lists in 2026, Filecamp’s Basic plan at $29/month with unlimited users is the usual floor. “Cheapest” is not the same as “best.” Cheap often means less AI, less storage, or a simpler tool, and that’s fine if the job is small.
No single product wins every row. For catalog product media, try Sprout.
What “unlimited users” really means
You can invite the team, freelancers, and partners without buying seats. You still pay for storage, sometimes downloads or credits, and higher feature tiers. Unlimited users is not unlimited everything.
Public floor and next rungs (verify before you buy)
Drawn from vendor pricing pages and Filecamp’s August 2026 comparison of 16 DAM tools:
| Tool | Public start | Users | What the low price usually includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filecamp | $29/mo (20 GB Basic) | Unlimited | Branded file hub, sharing; Advanced $59 / Pro $89 for more storage and features |
| Air | Free; paid from ~$25/mo | Unlimited | Creative library; usage via credits (watch the bill) |
| Stockpress | Free (small storage); paid $99/mo Essential (200 GB) | Unlimited | Simple DAM; AI tagging on plans |
| Razuna | Free 500 GB (user limits); paid $99/mo (1 TB, unlimited users) | Unlimited on paid | Storage-led pricing |
| Brandkit | From ~$99/mo (Filecamp survey) | Unlimited | Brand portal and library angle |
| Dash | From ~$109/mo (£79) | Unlimited | All features; pay more for storage and downloads |
| Pics.io | From ~$100/mo Solo | Seat-based at low tiers | Not an unlimited-user floor story |
| Canto / Bynder / Brandfolder | Custom quote | Varies | Not cheap-unlimited shopping |
Filecamp also sells add-on storage (published add-ons from tens of dollars per month for extra GB; see their pricing page). Dash’s bill climbs with storage and monthly downloads. Air’s credits make light use cheap and heavy AI or storage less predictable.
What you trade for a low sticker
At about $29–$50, expect a solid place to store and share files, custom branding, and unlimited logins. Don’t expect enterprise rights suites or top-tier AI video search.
At about $99–$110, expect more storage, more DAM-like search and tagging, ecommerce features (Dash), or simpler AI (Stockpress). Still self-serve.
Quote-only tools are a different purchase. You’re buying onboarding and a sales process, not a $29 experiment.
“Cheap” vs “cheap for my job”
- Client portals and branded sharing on a budget: Filecamp is hard to beat on published entry price.
- Try before paying: Stockpress or Air free tiers.
- Ecommerce with everything unlocked: Dash. It is not the cheapest, and the menu is clear.
- Keep files on Drive: Pics.io. Unlimited users is not the headline.
- Product photos by SKU: Sprout. That is a different job than the cheapest file hub. The peers above often win on raw price and brand sharing. Sprout is for catalog product media. Try it.
Costs people forget
- Storage overages after the included GB.
- Credits and downloads (Air, Dash).
- AI add-ons (Pics.io AI Kit is a known pattern).
- Time to migrate and clean old folders.
- Training if the UI fights your team.
Ask what you pay at 50 GB with 15 people touching files. Unlimited-user tools often win that story.
FAQ
Is Filecamp the cheapest DAM?
Among widely published self-serve plans with unlimited users, $29/mo Basic is the common floor (Filecamp pricing page; their Aug 2026 survey). Free tiers (Stockpress, Air, Razuna free) can be cheaper at tiny scale.
Why don’t Canto and Bynder show prices?
They sell mid-size company and enterprise packages. Expect demos and quotes. See our SMB-qualified alternatives guides.
Does Sprout undercut Filecamp?

Next step
If unlimited users plus the lowest published bill is the goal, trial Filecamp and glance at Stockpress’s free tier. If the goal is every product’s photos in one place, skip the race to $29 and try Sprout at usesprout.app.
