Why choose Air over Bynder

An End-to-End Creative Operations System

designed to send team productivity soaring

Air stands apart as the first true system of record for creative operations, centralizing everything from initial content creation through final distribution. Their platform streamlines approval processes, facilitates real-time collaboration, automates workflow tasks, and provides analytics on asset usage – capabilities that go far beyond basic asset storage.

Backed by Strong Growth Investment

designed to send team productivity soaring

Air’s recent $35M Series B and $70M in total funding demonstrates their commitment to innovation and growth in the creative operations space. Unlike Bynder, Air is rapidly expanding its capabilities based on direct customer feedback. They are investing heavily in research and development, building new creative tool integrations, and developing advanced AI features to automate creative workflows.

Rapid Time-to-Value

Bynder typically requires months of complex content migration, metadata restructuring, and extensive user training. In contrast, Air gets teams up and running in hours, not months. Their importers preserve existing organization while adding AI-powered tagging. The intuitive interface requires minimal training, and teams can immediately access powerful search and filtering capabilities without lengthy setup processes.

Building what matters

designed to send team productivity soaring

Air excels at identifying, building, and optimizing the core features that creative teams use most often, rather than building an exhaustive feature set that looks impressive on paper but add complexity in practice. With a strong product direction score on G2 (9.7 compared to Bynder's 9.1) it's clear that users trust Air's feature prioritization.

Simple pricing, same-day success

designed to send team productivity soaring

While Bynder locks customers into complex and pricey enterprise contracts, required onboarding packages, and mandatory support tiers, Air takes a radically different approach: transparent pricing, no forced professional services, and instant self-serve setup that gets teams collaborating in minutes, not months. Bynder boasts about their 125+ person onboarding team – but that's actually a red flag. It signals that their platform is so complex that customers need extensive (and expensive) hand-holding just to get started. Air flips this model on its head by offering transparent, predictable pricing with no hidden fees, free self-serve trials that let teams test the full platform, optional (not mandatory) support packages, and same-day setup. While Air is so intuitive that extensive training isn't often needed, their customer team is always on standby during business hours to assist with any questions.
