In their own words
Flatproof
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.
Workflow
Workflow gives designers a place to collect, organize, and act on design feedback. It runs on the web and as an extension. For website reviews, people can open a shared link and leave comments directly on a live page; Workflow attaches an automatically captured screenshot to each comment. It also accepts feedback on PDFs, videos, Figma designs, newsletters, and more than 30 other media types. Review pages keep earlier comments and versions together, and reviewers can approve work without a Workflow account. Voice and video feedback are built in. A one-way Figma sync sends Workflow comments to Figma, while the Pixel Perfect Chrome extension overlays a design image on a live webpage to help spot visual differences. The free plan includes unlimited projects and reviewers, but after 14 days an upgrade is needed to start something new. Standard costs $16 a month per seat on annual billing. Videos have a 100 GB limit; each additional 100 GB costs $5. Workflow says it does not work on single-page applications or apps such as Google Docs.
