Versus

Velo vs Workflow.design

Workflow.design is a design feedback and task tool for studios that review uploads and live sites in a desktop browser, with a task board, explicit approvals, and a price per creator seat. Velo turns a website capture into a reviewable release, anchors each thread to a target with a source checksum, and shows how each open pin fares when a new version arrives.

Four steps. An address is pasted into the capture bar. The release is prepared inside its frame. The first pin lands on the heading. Its thread is posted beside the page.

Judged by the job

Six questions a studio asks before it sends a client a review link.
The jobVeloWorkflow.design
What it costs, and per what

Free during the beta. No published paid tiers.

Documented11

$16 a seat a month on yearly billing, $20 monthly. Only people who add creative work need a seat; commenters, guests and clients are free. 60-day money back.

Documented1

What the client does to comment

Opens the link. Reviewers need verified access before they can post; commenting can be allowed or closed per link.

Tested12

On an “Anyone can view and comment” link, opens it and clicks; no account, no email. Invited project guests sign in with Google or email.

Documented67

Whether the link works on a phone

Not stated yet.

Unverified

Mobile browsers can read comments. Workflow.design’s help center says iOS cannot view live sites, images, videos or PDFs, and to switch to a desktop to place comments.

Documented5

Whether approval is explicit

Threads can be resolved, reopened, or closed, with an expected revision so an older view cannot overwrite a newer one. No release-level approval is claimed.

Tested12

Yes. A reviewer approves or requests changes, per version, and the decision is written to the comments tab. Comments stay open after approval.

Documented8

What happens when the site redeploys

The shared release is a snapshot; later source changes do not silently replace it. Velo recaptures on request or from a deploy hook, keeps the draft, and shows how each open pin fares.

Tested12

Workflow.design shows the latest published version of the live site. Each comment keeps a screenshot from the moment it was left. Uploaded files get versions with their own comments.

Documented94

What feedback is anchored to

An element, text run, region, or page target with a source checksum, plus viewport and route.

Tested12

A click position on the embedded page, with browser and screen size recorded and a screenshot attached.

What Velo records that a comment tool does not

Each item below is in the product and covered by tests.

Release v3 beside its recaptured draft v4. Pin 1 stayed on the heading, pin 2 followed the call to action lower, and pin 3 lost the paragraph it pointed at. Publishing is held until both outcomes are recorded.

Version drift

Velo shows how each open pin fares on the new version and keeps the original evidence. A pin that lost its spot stays visible and asks a person to place it again. Nothing resolves a thread automatically.

Deploy hooks

Velo can capture a new version of a website you already review, on request or after a deploy. A new capture is a draft. The version you shared stays current until you publish. Deploy hooks are per document, shown once, stored hashed, and revocable.

Checksummed targets

A thread can point to an element, text, region, or page target with a source checksum. The release, target, conversation, and decision stay legible as a single working record.

Images and PDFs

Images and PDFs version too: upload a new file, see which pins moved, changed, or vanished, then publish.

Which one

Choose Velo if

  • The review has to survive a redeploy: a captured release that later changes do not replace, threads anchored with a source checksum, and a drift summary for every open pin when a new version arrives.
Open workspace

Choose Workflow.design if

  • The studio wants a task board, explicit approvals and Figma plugins in one tool, and reviewers work in a desktop browser.
