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
Filestage is the online proofing and content approval software for marketing teams and agencies that need content signed off fast, while keeping everything on brand and compliant. It brings online proofing and content governance together: every file, reviewer, comment, and approval decision sits in one place, with a record of who approved what and when. The result is fewer review rounds, fewer errors reaching the market, and approvals that marketing, brand, and legal teams can stand behind.
Teams use Filestage to replace email threads, annotated PDFs, and approval spreadsheets, to check content against brand guidelines and internal and external policies, and to keep a clear audit trail as content volume grows.
Key features:
Unlimited reviewers – Invite colleagues, clients, and partners to review; external reviewers don't need a Filestage account.
Custom review workflows – Build multi-step approval workflows with sequential or parallel reviewer groups, due dates, reminders, checklists, and custom decision options, then automate repeat steps and reuse them as templates.
Online proofing for any file – Comment directly on designs, images, video, audio, PDFs, documents, live websites, and interactive HTML, with time-coded feedback on video.
Review Agents – Automated pre-checks for spelling and grammar, forbidden terms, QR codes and barcodes, file specifications, and team-defined rules run before reviewers are notified. People always make the final decision.
Version control – Compare versions, or any two files, side by side.
Full audit trail – Every comment and decision is timestamped, attributed, and tied to the exact file version, with exportable PDF review reports.
