Artwork Flow vs Flatproof

Artwork Flow is AI-powered artwork management software for packaging teams, combining asset storage with review and approval workflows. Proofing includes annotations, comments, version comparison, overprint preview, and barcode and color checks. Customizable rulebooks can inspect labels for incorrect barcodes, missing allergen information, and regulatory requirements. The proofing workflow supports more than 160 file types and can address Part 11 and Annex 11 requirements for 21 CFR through audit logs and electronic signatures. Artwork Flow runs on Android, iOS, and the web and includes version history. The Free plan costs nothing, billed yearly, and allows three users, 2 GB storage, and 20 creative reviews monthly. Professional costs $30 a month, billed per user per month, with up to 10 users and 50 GB storage. Listed security includes ISO 27001:2013 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications.

Flatproof is web-based proofing software for client approvals. It handles images, PDFs, videos, audio, live websites, Figma links, presentations, and other uploaded files. A user can upload or import a proof, share one link, gather comments, manage versions, and record approvals. Clients and reviewers can comment and approve through that link without becoming paid seats. Annotation tools, approval workflow, version history, and guest reviewers are included. AI review inspects selected areas and creates private draft suggestions that the user may turn into feedback. Google Drive and Figma integrations are shown for importing source files or frames. Flatproof has a free plan with 200MB storage and 25MB uploads, plus unlimited creators and reviewers. Solo costs $5 a month with 100GB storage; Studio costs $29 a month with 1TB storage and bring-your-own AI key. The product is in beta, so bugs and interruptions may occur.
