Budgeting, planning and cost control in one platform
Most production companies run a stack: a scheduling tool here, a budgeting spreadsheet there, accounting somewhere else. Tubes connects budgets, planning and actual costs in one workspace, with approvals and reporting on top, and links to the accounting system you already use.
This directory is meant to help you choose well, whichever tools you pick. If you want to see how Tubes compares in practice, ask for a demo.
It is published by Tubes, which is itself listed. To keep it fair we only record what each vendor publishes on its own site, quote pricing as published or mark it "Not published", and link to the vendor rather than describing products in our own words.
Because the vendor does not publish one. We do not estimate prices; "Quote on request" or "Not published" is what the vendor's site says.
Use the "Suggest it" form with the vendor's link. Vendors are welcome to submit their own product; we verify against the vendor site before listing.
Budgeting, planning and cost control in one platform, connected to the tools you keep.
