Description
Aligno fixes the review cycle. It currently lives across Slack and email, and you spend half the project digging through both for the approval. Send a share link instead. Clients open it, pin comments directly on the design where the problem is, and approve when they're ready. No account needed on the reviewer side.
Four asset types in one place: images, PDFs, video, and live webpages. The live webpage part is what most tools skip. You paste a URL, the page loads inside the review, and clients comment on the actual rendered site rather than a flat screenshot.
When a client approves a version, it locks. The approval becomes a clean record you can point to later instead of digging through Slack threads.
Aligno is built for freelance designers, design agencies, web and marketing studios, and small in-house creative teams. The free plan covers one asset with share-link-only collaboration. Pro is $18 a month flat regardless of team size, with unlimited projects, 100 GB storage, full version history, and email sharing built in. Studio is the agency tier with unlimited storage and dedicated support.
Description
Ascend consolidates five essential workflows that agencies engage in weekly—forms, databases, pages, time tracking, and invoicing—into a single workspace. Rather than relying on multiple platforms like Notion, Tally, Calendly, Toggl, and FreshBooks, you can manage the entire client lifecycle within one unified system that maintains consistent data throughout.
When a client fills out an intake form, the information is directly entered into your database. Each entry is accessible as a comprehensive page containing notes, files, sub-tasks, and a built-in timer for tracking purposes. Hours logged seamlessly contribute to an invoice created from that same entry, eliminating the need for CSV exports or the hassle of copy-pasting between different applications.
This platform caters specifically to independent consultants and small agency studios that charge on an hourly basis or a retainer model. You can begin with a free tier, and then choose between the Solo plan at $19 per month or the Studio plan at $49 per month, both of which come with no additional fees for extra users. Additionally, there’s a 30-day free trial available for paid plans, requiring no credit card for sign-up, allowing you to explore its features risk-free.
