Comparison
FNSHD vs Iconik
Iconik is a cloud MAM: hybrid on-prem and cloud storage connections, AI metadata, automation and usage-based per-role billing. FNSHD is not a MAM — it's the review and approval step, priced so a small team can run it forever without a sales call.

Choose FNSHD if…
- You want a predictable flat bill, not consumption credits.
- Your library is this quarter's projects, not a decade-deep archive.
- Nobody on your team wants to administer a MAM.
- Your clients need a link, not a login to a media catalogue.
- $10/member/mo beats $65/mo for someone who mainly leaves notes.
Choose Iconik if…
- You need a searchable catalogue with AI metadata across everything you own.
- You want to connect existing S3, Azure, GCS or on-prem storage.
- You archive to LTO or run automated transcode and proxy pipelines.
- Frame-accurate mastering review on a desktop player is a requirement.
- You want to pay less for view-only users through granular roles.
We'd rather tell you this up front than have you churn in month two.
