TillyBoard vs Krock.io
Video review and collaboration platform for creative teams, with an AI storyboard and animatic tool and project management. This page sets out what Krock.io is built for and what TillyBoard is built for, without claiming anything about features we cannot evidence.
What Krock.io is for
Video review and collaboration platform for creative teams, with an AI storyboard and animatic tool and project management.
Agencies and production companies that review videos, images and PDFs with clients and storyboard in the same tool.
Review platforms solve the feedback loop after the shoot. They are not a substitute for planning but its counterpart — and they get more valuable the more precisely it was agreed beforehand what is being signed off.
Where Krock.io is strong
A comparison that only lists your own upsides is not one. This is what speaks for Krock.io:
- Review of video, images, audio and PDF with version comparison and 4K playback
- AI storyboard with PDF and CSV export in the same tool as the review
- Integrations with Adobe Creative Cloud, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro
Where the limits are
And these are the points where teams run into limits in practice — not as a flaw, but as a consequence of the design:
- No shot list, shooting schedule or call sheet module on its home and pricing pages
- The free plan is limited to 1 user, 2 GB and 2 projects
Where TillyBoard takes a different route
Krock.io covers storyboard and review; TillyBoard adds the shoot in between — shot list, schedule, call sheet and packing list.
TillyBoard turns a brief into a shoot-ready package: shot list, storyboard, schedule and call sheet that stay connected. Change the creative direction and the affected shots are flagged rather than quietly left behind.
Which tool when
In short: Agencies and production companies that review videos, images and PDFs with clients and storyboard in the same tool. If your bottleneck is instead getting from a brief to a plan that holds, that is where TillyBoard starts.
The useful question before switching is not which tool does more, but where the process stalls today. Three bottlenecks come up again and again in production teams, and they call for different tools:
- The plan comes together too slowly: days pass between the brief and a shoot-ready shot list, with the client already chasing.
- The paperwork drifts apart: shot list, schedule and call sheet live in three files, and after the second change none of them agrees with the others.
- Distribution eats the time: the plan is done, but every version has to be sent to twenty people by hand and chased up.
What to check before switching
Storyboards export as PDF or CSV — a usable starting point for the TillyBoard shot list.
Switching tools mid-production almost always costs more than it saves on that job. The sensible moment is between two projects, with a pilot small enough to run twice if it comes to that. Check first whether the export formats match what post and accounting expect — migrations fail there more often than on features.
Frequently asked
Is TillyBoard a replacement for Krock.io?
That depends on what you use Krock.io for. Krock.io covers storyboard and review; TillyBoard adds the shoot in between — shot list, schedule, call sheet and packing list.
Can both be used together?
Usually yes. TillyBoard exports shot lists, schedules and call sheets as PDF and the schedule also as CSV; the Enterprise plan adds a REST API. Downstream systems can carry on from there.
