Air

Overview

Air is a digital asset management tool for teams handling images, videos, GIFs, PDFs and presentations. Its metadata, approvals, version history and guest sharing make it a considered option for teams that need to organize and review creative assets together.

The plan range is unusually wide: a free tier offers 120 monthly credits, while Business costs $1,100 per month for 30,000 credits. The right fit depends on matching that credit allowance to your needs and budget.

Key features

Air supports images, videos, GIFs, PDFs and presentations, giving teams a single place to manage several common creative formats. Metadata and tagging can help keep a growing asset library organized; approval workflows and version history support review and revision; guest sharing lets people outside the workspace participate.

API access is included, which may suit teams that need programmatic access. The listed platform is API, so Air is a less straightforward fit for buyers seeking a named desktop or mobile app.

Pricing

Air uses a freemium model, with paid plans from $25 per month. Its plans vary sharply in monthly credits and recovery periods, so the headline price alone is not enough to judge which tier fits.

• Free: free, billed $0 per year, with 120 credits per month and unlimited users. It is a no-cost starting point for teams that can work within a small credit allowance.
• Starter: $25 a month, billed $25 per month, with 600 credits per month and unlimited workspace and board users. This is the paid entry tier for teams that need more credits without a stated user cap.
• Business: $1,100 a month, billed $1,100 per month, with 30,000 credits per month, unlimited workspace and board users, and 90 days of deletion recovery. The jump from Starter is substantial; it makes sense only when the much larger credit allocation and recovery period justify the cost.
• Enterprise: Custom pricing, with 60,000 credits per month, unlimited users and 180 days of deletion recovery. The higher allocation and longer recovery window suit larger needs, but buyers must request pricing to assess the commitment.

The lower tiers have smaller monthly credit allowances, while Business and Enterprise add deletion recovery. Choose based on the credits and recovery period your team needs, not simply the unlimited-user wording shared across plans.

Platforms

Air lists API as its platform. That supports teams looking for API access, but the listed platform coverage does not make it a clear choice for users who require a particular desktop, mobile or web client.

Who it's for

Air is best suited to teams that manage mixed creative assets and need tagging, structured approvals, version history or guest sharing. The free and Starter tiers provide room to begin with unlimited users, but their credit caps may constrain heavier use. Teams considering Business should be confident that 30,000 monthly credits and 90-day deletion recovery warrant $1,100 per month.

It is less compelling for buyers whose priority is a low-cost, high-capacity plan: the free tier is capped at 120 credits monthly, and the next tier at 600. Organizations that need named app platforms beyond API access should also weigh that limitation.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Supports images, videos, GIFs, PDFs and presentations, so teams can manage several asset formats together.
• Pros: Metadata and tagging, approval workflows, version history and guest sharing address organization and collaboration needs.
• Pros: Unlimited users on Free and unlimited workspace and board users on Starter make the entry tiers less dependent on seat-count budgeting.
• Cons: The Free and Starter plans provide only 120 and 600 credits per month respectively, which may be limiting for teams with greater usage.
• Cons: Business costs $1,100 a month, a steep increase over Starter that needs to be justified by its 30,000 credits and 90-day deletion recovery.
• Cons: API is the sole listed platform, which may not suit teams looking for a named client platform.

Verdict

Choose Air if your team needs asset handling across several creative formats, with tagging, approvals, version history and guest sharing in the same tool. Its unlimited-user entry plans are appealing, but their credit caps are modest; the $1,100-per-month Business tier is a major commitment. Look elsewhere if you need more generous entry-level capacity, a specific non-API platform, or cannot justify that Business price.
