Start with the task
Do you need to publish content or review files?
Your team may need both. Define the task before choosing the tool.
I need to publish
For calendars and automated social publishing, evaluate a scheduler with approval. Check the supported networks, accounts and formats.
I need to approve
For feedback on artwork, a PDF page or a video moment, evaluate a proofing platform. That is the work Aproova handles.
Five proofing platforms to evaluate

Compare the whole operation
Calculate the cost for your team.
Count the people who create and manage reviews separately from those who only comment or approve. Internal users, reviewers and clients can be different billing units.
Use the same billing period and include required add-ons. Keep currencies explicit: a temporary exchange rate does not make two contracts equivalent.
Aproova Essential includes 5 internal users. For internal review before sharing with clients, consider Flow. Test your actual file sizes, workflow and number of approval stages.
Outside Aproova’s scope
Check these requirements before buying.
If these are essential to your process, evaluate tools that support them.
- Social post schedulingAproova handles review and decisions. Publishing stays in your social media tool.
- Live websites and interactive HTMLAproova does not offer website or HTML5 banner proofing. Verify format support in the platform you are considering.
- Automated prepressVisual review does not replace technical checks for color, separations, bleed or production files.
