What file types are supported?

Images (JPG and PNG) and PDFs at launch — including multi-page PDFs. More formats come after, based on what beta workspaces ask for.

What happens after I ask for an invite?

One email, straight away, carrying your invite link and your early-access pricing. The link opens your own workspace — no card, no call. No newsletter, no drip sequence, no "just checking in."

Yes — the review page above is the real product, and beta workspaces run real customer proofs on it today. It's a private beta: the invite goes to the address you enter, and it only works with that address.

What if I need more users later?

Nothing — every paid plan includes unlimited people in the workspace. Your team can grow without your bill growing, and clients never count as users.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — 3 active projects, free for good. Approved projects don't count against that: finishing a job frees its slot, and your approval history stays. Enough to run real client work, not a crippled trial.

proofavo.com/r/x7k2 — what your client sees

The Proofavo review page a client sees: Version 2 of a poster proof with a note pinned on the artwork, the previous round's requests in the sidebar, and a Request changes button — no login

Sound familiar?

Feedback scattered everywhere

Round 3 comments arrive by email, round 4 by WhatsApp, the approval by phone. Good luck proving what was signed off.

Clients won't make accounts

Every "please register to view" email is a day of delay — or a client who gives up and replies with a marked-up screenshot.

Priced for agencies, not you

Proofing tools charge per seat with 5-user minimums. A two-person studio ends up paying for a 200-person workflow.

How it works

Upload, get a link

Drop in images or PDFs. Proofavo gives you one share link per project — send it however you already talk to your client.

The shop's view of a new proof: the share link ready to copy, the note the studio wrote for the reviewer, and the version listed as current

Two labels on the shop's own view of the proof: Opened 26m ago, and Email delivered

And you can see it landed

The proof tells you when the email was delivered and when your client last opened it. A quiet week stops being a guess — you know whether to chase or to wait.

Client comments on the file

They click the link and pin comments right on the design. No account, no password, no app to install.

The client's view: two notes pinned straight onto the poster, one on the dates and one on the show times, with the artwork's own toolbar underneath

One click to approve

They hit Approve, you get a timestamped PDF approval record for that exact version. No more "that's not what I signed off on."

The approved proof: a green banner naming who approved which version and when, with the approval record ready to download

Flat pricing. No per-seat tax. Your client never registers.

Pricing, up front

No waitlist mystery — this is what it will cost. The first 50 on the waitlist lock in 50% off these prices, for as long as they stay subscribed.

Sign up during the beta and you can put your workspace on Professional free until 26 Jan 2027, 00:00 UTC — one button in your billing settings, no card, and only if you want it. After that the plan you pick below applies, and nothing you have made is lost either way.

Looking for a free tool with unlimited everything? Proofavo probably isn't for you — and that's fine.

Questions you'd ask before giving us your email

No. They open your link, comment and approve as a guest. Their name is recorded on the version they approve — that's it.

Before you decide

How Proofavo compares with the tools you may already be paying for, and how the approval loop works in the trades that send proofs every week — including who should stay where they are.

Compare

Honest comparisons, including who should not switch. Competitor prices and complaints are dated and sourced from public reviews, not invented.

By trade

How the approval loop works in the businesses that send proofs every week — print, sign, wrap, and the studios that serve them.

Guides

Practical write-ups on running an approval round without losing the thread: templates, checklists, and the version mistakes that cost a reprint.
