Why creative agencies need a dedicated Ziflow alternative
Ziflow is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and comprehensive online proofing platforms available today. Built for massive enterprise compliance teams and Fortune 500 marketing departments, it offers complex automated routing, strict compliance controls, and deep Active Directory integrations.
However, if you run a fast-moving creative agency, a branding studio, or a freelance development business, all of those enterprise features are just extra weight that slows you down. When searching for a Ziflow alternative, most creative professionals are looking for agility. They don't want to spend three weeks onboarding their clients onto a new software platform just to get a logo approved.
The cost of enterprise software bloat
Enterprise tools are priced for enterprises. Ziflow's pricing and feature set reflect its focus on massive corporate hierarchies where an asset must pass through legal, compliance, and multi-tiered marketing approvals before going live.
Because TryApprove focuses exclusively on the agency-client relationship, we completely bypass this bloat. Your clients don't need automated multi-department workflow routing—they just need to see the latest version of their website or brand guidelines and hit "Approve" so you can get paid. By using TryApprove, you send them a magic link to a clean, highly visual, agency-branded portal.
Unmatched Client Experience
Enterprise tools feel like enterprise tools. They are utilitarian and often sterile. TryApprove is designed to make your creative work look stunning. Our interface fades into the background, showcasing your deliverables front and center. Furthermore, our passwordless magic link system ensures that your executives and client stakeholders never have to remember a password or create an account to view your work.
Transparent, Flat-Rate Pricing
Unlike enterprise tools that require you to "Contact Sales" for custom pricing based on user seats or storage limits, TryApprove is built for the agency business model. We offer a totally free tier for solo freelancers just getting started, and a flat-rate Pro plan for agencies that need custom domain white-labeling and unlimited client portals. No hidden fees.
