Why teams look for an Air.inc alternative

Air.inc is a strong Creative Operations platform: version stacking, ad-performance analytics, and a deep set of integrations with Figma, Slack, and Notion. Teams come to Brault for four reasons Air's current plans do not address:

01. No dedicated large-file transfer workflow

Air supports share links and downloads, but it does not appear to offer a dedicated large-file transfer workflow comparable to Brault Transfer. Teams typically pair Air with WeTransfer, Dropbox Transfer, or similar. Brault includes Brault Transfer (BTransfer) on every plan including Free, with branded download pages and per-transfer caps up to 250 GB on the Growth plan.

02. Limited white-label client delivery

Air's public sharing experience is built around Air workspaces and Air share links. Brault is built around white-label client delivery: your logo, colors, custom domain, shared links, transfer pages, and full app experience — included from the Free plan.

03. The $25 to $900 pricing cliff between Starter and Business

Air's published plans jump from Starter at $25/month (600 credits, around 100 GB) to Business from $900/month billed annually (or $1,100 month-to-month according to Air's help center), with 30,000 credits and around 5 TB. That's roughly a 36× jump with no mid-tier. Brault offers four tiers between $0 and $70/month billed annually on the pricing page, with the $70 Growth plan landing at the same 5 TB storage as Air's Business tier.

04. Storage and AI usage compete for the same credit pool on Air

Air uses around 6 credits per GB per month for storage and AI enrichment, plus around 5 credits per AI-generated image and 20 per AI-generated video. Heavy AI use eats into available storage and vice versa. Brault separates storage (flat GB allowance per plan) from AI features (included on paid plans, no per-action cost).

Built for agencies, freelancers, and growing creative teams

Freelancers

A professional-looking home for your work. Send branded transfers, store everything searchable by AI, and put your name on every link your client sees. Brault Lite is $4/month billed annually ($5 month to month) vs Air.inc Starter at $25/month, over 6x cheaper for solo creators who still want the team-grade feature set.

Creative agencies & studios

Brand-customized client portals, dedicated large-file transfers up to 250 GB, and AI search across every project library. Brault Growth at $70/month billed annually ($85 month to month), with 4 users included, covers the same 5 TB ceiling as Air Business, which starts from $900/month billed annually (or $1,100 month-to-month). White-label client delivery is included on every Brault plan.

Growing creative teams

A creative library that scales from a single founder to a team of 20. Brault's mid-tier Pro plan at $12/month billed annually ($15 month to month) delivers 2 TB of flat storage. Air's closest plan, Starter at $25/month, gives around 100 GB shared between storage and AI generation. No procurement call when you grow past the founder phase.

When to choose Brault, when to choose Air.inc

Both platforms serve creative teams. The right fit depends on which capabilities are load-bearing for your workflow today.

What's the main difference between Brault and Air.inc?

Brault and Air.inc are both creative platforms for storing and organizing assets, and both offer natural-language conversational AI search. Brault adds three capabilities Air does not currently match: a dedicated large-file transfer workflow up to 250 GB (Brault Transfer / BTransfer), white-label client delivery across the app, shared links, and transfer pages, and self-serve pricing on every paid tier. Air.inc is strong in its ad-performance analytics and integrations with Figma, Slack, and Notion.

Is Air.inc free?

Yes. Air.inc offers a Free plan at $0/month that includes 120 credits per month (approximately 20 GB of enriched storage), with unlimited seats. Air's paid plans are Starter at $25/month, Business from $900/month billed annually (or $1,100 month-to-month according to Air's help center), with 30,000 credits and around 5 TB, and Enterprise (custom pricing, 60,000+ base credits). Brault also offers a Free plan ($0/month, 2 GB) plus publicly priced paid plans at $4, $12, and $70 per month billed annually ($5, $15, and $85 month to month) on the pricing page. Brault's Free includes Brault Transfer and white-label client delivery, which Air's Free does not.

Is Brault cheaper than Air.inc?

At every paid tier, yes, and the gap widens the larger you scale. Brault prices below are billed annually. Brault Lite ($4/month, 200 GB flat) vs Air Starter ($25/month, around 100 GB shared with AI credits): Brault is over 6× cheaper for around 2× the storage. Brault Pro ($12/month, 2 TB) vs Air Starter ($25/month, around 100 GB): Brault is around 2× cheaper for around 20× the storage. Brault Growth ($70/month, 5 TB, 4 users included) vs Air Business from $900/month billed annually (or $1,100 month-to-month, around 5 TB shared with AI credits): Brault is nearly 13× cheaper at the same storage tier when both are compared on annual billing. Air's pricing jumps from $25 Starter to $900 Business with nothing in between, where Brault offers four tiers between $0 and $70 per month.

Does Brault have AI search like Air's conversational search?

Yes. Brault AI Search supports natural-language conversational queries across 50+ file formats: images, video, audio, documents, design files, returning results by what is inside the file, not just the filename. Both Brault and Air.inc offer conversational AI search. In the context of this comparison, the practical differences are the breadth of formats Brault indexes and the fact that AI features do not compete with storage on Brault (Air's credits are shared between storage and AI generation, so heavy AI use reduces effective storage).

Can Brault replace Air.inc for our agency?

For most agency workflows, yes. Brault covers the same core capabilities: storage, AI search, Libraries, Brault Boards, commenting, access control, and adds a dedicated large-file transfer workflow, white-label client delivery, and a Growth plan at $70/month billed annually ($85 month to month) that includes 4 users and ceilings at 5 TB (the same storage tier as Air's Business plan, which starts from $900/month billed annually or $1,100 month-to-month). Teams that rely on Air's Figma, Slack, Notion, or ad-performance integrations (the last is Enterprise-only on Air) should verify integration parity before migrating.

Does Brault have Kanban Boards like Air?

Yes. Brault Boards are Kanban-style project boards with custom properties (status, person, date, checkbox) attached directly to files. Each card IS a file. You can group by any property and switch views instantly, with real-time multi-user sync. Air.inc also offers boards for creative operations; Brault Boards are file-centric, which means the work and the file live in the same record instead of in linked cards.

Does Air.inc have a dedicated large-file transfer workflow?

Air supports share links and downloads with permissions, so files inside Air can be retrieved by authorized recipients. However, Air does not appear to offer a dedicated large-file transfer workflow comparable to a WeTransfer-style product. Teams using Air typically pair it with WeTransfer, Dropbox Transfer, or similar tools for large file delivery. Brault includes Brault Transfer (BTransfer) on every plan, including Free, with branded download pages, password protection on Lite and above, and expiration windows on Pro and above. Per-transfer caps scale with the plan: Free 5/month at 2 GB, Lite 20/month at 50 GB, Pro unlimited at 50 GB plus 20/month at 100 GB, Growth unlimited at 250 GB.

Can I white-label my client portal with Brault?

Yes. Brault is built around white-label client delivery on every plan, including Free. You can customize the entire interface, shared links, and Brault Transfer download pages with your logo, colors, and custom domain. Air's public sharing experience is built around Air workspaces and Air share links rather than the customer's own brand, so teams that need their brand visible on every client-facing surface tend to choose Brault.
