lawn vs
Wipster

Two video review tools
walk into a bar.
One costs less. That's the whole joke.

Wipster is a solid tool with real approval workflows and a proper feature set. lawn is smaller, cheaper, and open source. We do less for less money, and that's the whole pitch.

DO THE
MATH.

Wipster charges per user. lawn charges $5 per month total. Not per user. Just $5. The math gets increasingly silly as your team grows.

THE OPEN SOURCE THING

You can literally read our code.

lawn is fully open source. Every line. The elegant parts and the parts where we left a TODO from three months ago. No black box. No trust required. Just code you can read, fork, and judge silently.

HONEST
ADVICE.

Wipster is genuinely good software built by people who care about video review. We just think there's room for something simpler. Here are the facts.

Use Wipster if...

  • --You need built-in approval workflows with multiple review stages, status tracking, and the whole production pipeline
  • --You're an established media team that's already invested in a full review ecosystem and switching costs are real
  • --You want deep review stages with version comparisons, granular permissions, and structured feedback rounds
  • --Per-user pricing is fine because your budget is already approved and nobody's counting

Seriously, Wipster is good. If this is you, go use it. We'll be here if you change your mind later.

Use lawn if...

  • --You're a small team or agency that just needs to share cuts and collect feedback without a 45-minute onboarding
  • --You hate per-seat pricing with a passion that concerns your friends and family
  • --You want clients to review with just a link, no account creation, no "please check your email" nonsense
  • --You value open source and want to know exactly what software you're trusting with your work

We do less than Wipster. Proudly. Upload, share, comment. Go home. That's 90% of what anyone actually needs.
