About
Approval Studio is purpose-built online proofing software for creative teams managing artwork and packaging design approval. Invite external reviewers via a shareable link with no account needed on their end.
Review artwork with precision using 5 annotation shapes, live in-tool discussions, a built-in barcode reader, color separation, and 4 version comparison modes. Get all the tools that matter when a label error costs more than a revision round.
Manage your team's efficiency with Approval Studio's project management layer. Assign and track tasks, organize projects and assets, store reference documents alongside assets, and get a full timestamped audit trail on every action across every project.
Integrate with the tools that support your design review process: Adobe Creative Cloud, Shopify, Slack, and Zapier. Build custom approval workflows with API access and native MCP support.

About
HoldFast is a video review and presentation platform built for small video teams. Upload a cut and share a review link: clients leave timecoded comments, draw directly on the frame, compare versions, and approve, all without creating an account. Publish branded showreels and presentation pages, and see exactly who watched, how far they got, and which company they came from. Presentation decks can be gated with a password and watermarked with each viewer's name. Activity can be pushed to webhooks (Zapier compatible), Airtable, Notion, and HubSpot, and a public API is available. Audience testing puts two cuts in front of a paid panel and returns a plain-language report. Video is delivered with adaptive streaming, with 4K and HDR on paid plans. A free plan is available alongside flat-rate Pro and Team plans.
