# Rainbrand vs Bynder

> Bynder is a DAM for a company's approved assets, rights and distribution. Rainbrand gives agents the guidance and files each task needs and checks the result.

They do different jobs. Bynder keeps a company's approved assets with their metadata and the rights that say who may download what; its API and MCP server search and read them. Rainbrand gives agents the guidance and a curated set of files for each task, and checks the result.

## Choose Bynder if

- You need a DAM: an archive of approved files, download rights, expiry and distribution.
- People search a large library, including natural-language search when AI Search is on.

## Choose Rainbrand if

- Agents make new work and need guidance with the files. Bynder has no logo or colour endpoint, and its guideline tools need the CX User Community package.
- You want each piece of work checked against the brand.
- You want a published price, from $20 a month, against Bynder's quote.

## Can you use both?

Yes, and Rainbrand's own advice is to keep the DAM for the archive, rights and distribution. Add the current logos and approved images to Rainbrand; it doesn't sync with Bynder, so add new files when they're approved.
