About Approval Studio

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.

ruttl is the fastest way for product, marketing, sales and support teams to collect visual feedback, collaborate, and manage ideas through tools like website feedback, bug tracking and mobile app feedback. Users can leave comments directly on live websites/apps and make real time edits so they can give precise change values to the developers. Currently, to review and track bugs on websites and mobile apps, people often resort to traditional methods such as taking screenshots, creating lengthy email threads, or having time-consuming meetings with developers. These methods can be frustrating and often lead to miscommunications and delays in the entire process. That's why we built ruttl! With its powerful features, users can now easily edit content, replace images, and make design changes to web elements while seamlessly sharing all kinds of changes that need to be implemented by developers. With over 15000+ users, ruttl has transformed the visual feedback process.

yeses.io
yeses.io
yeses.io runs the approval loop for design, content and product work. You send a file, a page or a decision for review once. Reviewers open an individual link - no account, no signup, no password - and give one of two answers: approve, or request changes. If a reviewer goes quiet, yeses.io follows up on its own: a reminder every two business days, up to three times per review. Approval flows can run in multiple stages, with a custom response window per stage. What comes back is a record rather than a thread: every decision is attached to a person, a timestamp and a specific version, and an approval given against a file that has since changed is flagged as stale. Comments pin to the thing being discussed. Slack notifications are on paid plans. Reviewers are unlimited on every plan, including the free one.

    "Perfect review tool with many cool features"

    Posted 2021-11-16

    Pros: I pretty much enjoyed how flexible and versatile Approval Studio is. One of the features that we use daily is four comparison modes. The differences between 2 artwork versions are found automatically, and we don't need to go from one asset to another constantly. What else made Approval Studio stand out for us was multi-language interface as we work with many foreign clients, and we also use live discussions a lot. Also, their customer support service has always been helpful.

    Cons: Even though they have Adobe & Slack integrations, it would be great to have more. For example, it would help to have integrated cloud storages like Google Drive, Dropbox instead of just adding links to project references.

    Overall: In general, we are pleased with how Approval Studio added to our design workflow. Now we spend less time on emails & messengers, and more on actual work. Highly recommend!
