MediaValet vs Brandfolder
Which DAM delivers more?
When evaluating digital asset management (DAM) platforms, Brandfolder and MediaValet often come up as leading contenders. Both deliver strong asset organization and brand enablement features, but when it comes to scalability, ROI, security, and advanced capabilities like video, MediaValet pulls ahead.
Here’s how the two platforms compare.
Why do customers choose MediaValet over Brandfolder?
MediaValet delivers better ROI, better brand guidelines, better support, and better analytics. See for yourself:
Video Management That Goes Beyond Basics
MediaValet excels in video support with AI-powered tagging, automatic transcription, and video trimming tools that empower creative teams to reuse and repurpose content faster. Brandfolder’s video capabilities remain more limited, making MediaValet the better fit for organizations heavily invested in video.
Much Faster ROI
According to G2, MediaValet customers see a return on investment in an average of 11 months, compared to 18 months with Brandfolder. That’s nearly 40% faster payback, helping organizations unlock value sooner and reduce time-to-impact.
Pricing Transparency and Scalability
Brandfolder’s pricing can climb as teams scale. MediaValet offers predictable, scalable pricing with unlimited users included, making it easier for organizations to grow adoption without ballooning costs.
MediaValet offers:
Stronger Brand Consistency at Scale
Brandfolder helps teams manage assets, but MediaValet takes brand consistency further with embedded brand guidelines, Experience Portals, and templating tools that ensure every campaign, partner, and region stays on-brand. As organizations grow, this level of control and flexibility is critical to maintaining a unified identity.

Frequently asked questions
MediaValet leads in video with AI-powered tagging, transcription, and built-in clipping tools that save time and improve asset reuse. Brandfolder supports video storage but lacks the same core video features. Expect to pay more for features like advanced editing and AI-driven functionality.
In short; MediaValet’s enterprise-grade security goes beyond Brandfolder’s setup.
MediaValet is built on Microsoft Azure; the most secure, scalable, and globally trusted cloud infrastructure available.
-SOC 2 Type II compliance, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and FERPA readiness

For organizations where data integrity, access control, and compliance aren’t just nice-to-haves — they’re non-negotiable — MediaValet provides peace of mind at scale.
MediaValet includes unlimited users at no extra cost, making it easier for large or growing organizations to scale without increasing license costs. Brandfolder charges per user, which can make scaling more expensive.
According to G2, MediaValet customers achieve ROI in an average of 11 months, compared to 18 months for Brandfolder. This means organizations see value from MediaValet significantly faster.
MediaValet’s transparent pricing model with unlimited users helps organizations manage costs as they scale. Brandfolder’s per-user pricing can quickly increase total cost of ownership as adoption grows across an enterprise.
