SyncSketch
What SyncSketch is
SyncSketch is a visual collaboration platform for reviewing images, video, 360-degree content, and 3D models. Teams can review through shared links in real time or asynchronously, including offline. Drawing and annotation tools support frame-accurate feedback, while the 3D viewer handles static and animated assets with shading, textures, and UV maps. Features include time-coded comments, approval workflows, version comparison, and custom reviewer roles. Integrations named by the maker include Unity, Maya, and ShotGrid; a documented API supports connections with other apps. Its integration index also lists Jira, SAML identity providers, and customer AWS S3 storage. The free Light plan is restricted to non-commercial use and allows five seats, 1 GB storage, 2 GB monthly uploads, and two projects. Indie costs $12 a month and allows up to 15 seats, 50 GB storage, 100 GB monthly uploads, and unlimited projects. Free 14-day trials are available; the selected subscription begins afterward unless canceled. The maker describes SOC 2 compliance, 256-bit encryption, and alignment with ISO 27001 standards.
