Shade Inc.

Shade Inc. alternative for white-label file sharing

Shade is a professional media platform built for creative teams — AI file search, real-time streaming via ShadeFS, frame-accurate review, and branded client collections. It is serious infrastructure for production workflows. But it is priced per seat at $25 per month, delivery links sit on shade.inc rather than a domain you own, and there is no file payment gate. Here is what agencies use when branded delivery at their own domain with flat pricing is the requirement.

Frequently asked questions

Sharebrand is a white-label file sharing platform built for client-facing businesses. It delivers files through your own custom domain with your logo and branding on every link. Clients never see Sharebrand's name. Unlike Shade, which is a full media production platform priced per seat, Sharebrand is built specifically for the branded client delivery moment at flat team pricing. Plans start at $29 per month for up to five team members.

Shade's client collections and share links are hosted on shade.inc. There is no documented option to route client delivery through a domain you own. Sharebrand delivers every link at a fully owned custom domain on every plan from $29 per month — the link your client receives shows your domain, not Sharebrand's.

No. Shade has no file payment gate on any plan. Sharebrand includes a built-in file payment gate on every plan — you set a price and clients pay before downloading.

A five-person team on Shade Growth is $125 per month. Sharebrand Starter covers five team seats at $29 per month. If the primary use case is branded client file delivery, Sharebrand is less than a quarter of the cost. If the team also needs ShadeFS streaming, AI search, and frame-accurate review, Shade's per-seat price reflects capabilities Sharebrand does not offer.

Shade client collections let you curate deliverables into branded presentations with your logo, custom background, and messaging. Recipients access collections via a link with configurable permissions, password protection, and expiry dates. The link sits on shade.inc. It is a capable delivery feature for teams already using Shade's production infrastructure. For teams whose primary need is branded delivery at their own domain, Sharebrand addresses that specifically.

Yes. Many production agencies use Shade for the production workflow — AI search, real-time file streaming, review and approval — and Sharebrand for the final client delivery step at their own domain. The two products cover different phases of the creative workflow and do not conflict.

Yes. All Sharebrand plans include a 14-day free trial with full Pro access. No credit card required. You can set up your custom domain, add your branding, and send your first branded client link before paying anything.
