Pibox

Pibox is a collaboration and production-management platform for teams working with audio and video files. Its core workflow covers review and approvals — time-stamped comments placed on an audio waveform or on video, public or private comment visibility, threaded discussion of edits, and version chains that link successive files so reviewers can compare revisions — combined with lossless upload so teams work on original-quality media.

Around that review layer the product adds a cloud file system with flexible folder structures, support for all common file types plus video, images, documents and 3D models, and unlimited link sharing; project management views with filters, customizable columns and a feedback mode; a metadata layer built on a configurable form builder with field-level visibility rules and export to Excel or via API; delivery tools for building metadata-enriched, collaboratively edited playlists for external sharing; and team and private chat with mentions and notifications. An iOS mobile app supports listening, commenting and project management on the go, and a desktop plugin brings the platform into the digital audio workstation: it supports Pro Tools via AAX and Cubase and Nuendo via VST3 on macOS and Windows, automatically versions bounced mixes into a Pibox project, generates a single browser share link that requires no account from reviewers, and returns reviewer notes to the session as Pro Tools Memory Locations or as marker CSV/MIDI in Cubase and Nuendo.

For enterprises, Pibox supports multiple teams under one organization with separated access, APIs and custom integrations, SAML SSO through providers such as Okta, OneLogin and Azure, and ISO 27001 certification with private-by-default files, expiring or revocable share links and role-based access. The company also positions itself as AI-agnostic, offering to connect customers' chosen AI models into configurable workflows.

Founding story

CEO Ivan Talaichuk has said he built Pibox to solve his own problem: he disliked switching between multiple applications to work on creative content, finding it scattered his focus, and set out to connect everything in one place. After the initial launch, he has said, combining chat with files caused the product to evolve and mix further solutions internally. The company was founded in 2018 by Ivan together with his brother Pavlo Talaichuk.

Business model

Pibox sells its platform as a SaaS subscription with a freemium entry point. A free tier covers two users, two projects and 1 GB of storage with unlimited guest commenters; the Pro tier is $10 per user per month ($9 billed annually) with 100 GB of storage; the Team tier is $20 per user per month ($18 annually) with 1 TB of storage and features such as private chats, custom file statuses and share-link expiry; and a custom-priced Enterprise tier adds priority support, an SLA, API consultation, multi-team organizations, dashboards, ISO 27001 compliance controls and SAML SSO. Additional storage is sold in 250 GB blocks at $15 per month. Guest reviewers are free and unlimited, and paid plans offer 14-day trials and a 10% annual-payment discount.

Recurring per-seat subscription revenue across Free, Pro, Team and custom Enterprise tiers, billed monthly or annually (10% annual discount), with paid add-on storage in 250 GB increments at $15 per month and invoiced/direct-debit billing available for enterprise customers. The DAW plugin is included with a Pibox account rather than sold separately.

Traction

The company reports more than 1 million files finalised on the platform and an 86% reduction in production time (described in press coverage as an 86% increase in team efficiency). Its customer roster includes Universal Music Publishing Group, Sony Music Publishing, Epidemic Sound, Universal Production Music and Bleeding Fingers, and the company described itself in January 2025 as already operating a stable commercial solution. An investor-network profile lists the company at seven employees with a full product ready.

Latest developments

In November 2024 Pibox disclosed $1.2 million in funding from Presto Ventures, Globalive Capital, Startup Wise Guys and others, plus backing from Google for Startups aimed at adding AI-rich features. A January 2025 company post described the round as including new angel investors and existing supporters and set out the roadmap: US market scaling, AI-agnostic integrations, new sharing features, deeper customization, a "Pibox Labs" open API gateway for AI partners, advanced data reporting, redesigned mobile platforms, a "smart people" feature for subcontractor collaboration, and hiring. The company has since shipped a DAW plugin for Pro Tools, Cubase and Nuendo and continues to publish company news and guides into 2026.
