PageProof is built for your agency ops team. Drafty's built for your client.
If you're a freelance designer sharing a proposal or brand doc with one client, you don't need AI-powered markup queues or a $249/month plan. You need your client to open a link, point at the exact line, and leave a note — no email invitation, no account auto-created, no steps between them and the comment.
The feedback you're getting today
Scattered across iMessage and Slack — every note a guess at which version, which element.
Every message here is a comment that belonged on the artifact. In Drafty they tap the exact spot and the note pins there — threaded, on one link that's always the current version. No “which one,” no screenshots, no “FINAL.html.”

How it works
Push the doc and share the link
Drop your proposal, brief, or design export into Drafty. It becomes a page anyone can open in any browser — no invitation email, no account created on their end, nothing to click through first.
They point at the exact spot
Your client hovers any element — a heading, a paragraph, a section of the layout — clicks, and pins a note right to it. No screenshots, no "the bit on page two."
The edit ships on the same link
Claude reads the pinned comments in your terminal, makes the change, and pushes a new version to the same URL. No new proof to create, no new invitation to send.
Why people switch
- PageProof starts at $249/month — built for teams of 10, not solo client work
- PageProof invites reviewers by email and auto-creates an account — one more step before they can comment
- Creating a new version in PageProof means uploading a new proof and re-sending an invitation
- Free guest commenting on a public link — Your client comments today, no plan required on either side
- True public link — opens in any browser, no invitation — The client taps the link in iMessage and they're already looking at the artifact
- Versioned revisions on the same URL — The same link the client bookmarked shows the updated version — no resend, no confusion
Who it's for
Send the brand doc link directly in iMessage. The client pins a note on the exact line — no PageProof invitation, no inbox friction.
Share the proposal as a link. The client marks up the exact paragraph and the thread lives on the doc — not buried in a proof queue.
Drop the spec doc in a thread. Early reviewers comment without an account — no invitation to wait for, no approval system to navigate.
Questions
- Does my client need a PageProof account to leave feedback?
- PageProof invites reviewers by email and auto-creates an account for them when they click through — so technically no signup, but there's still an email step and an auto-generated account before they can comment. Drafty uses a true public link: your client opens it and comments as a guest, nothing created for them.
- Is PageProof too expensive for freelancers?
- PageProof's entry plan is $249/month (or $2,499/year), built for teams with multiple reviewers and multi-stage approval workflows. For a solo designer sharing work with one or two clients, that's significant overhead. Drafty is free to start with no card required.
- What does PageProof do better than Drafty?
- PageProof is genuinely stronger for agency-scale creative operations: AI-powered markup that suggests annotations on your files, a smart compare mode that highlights diffs between proof versions, multi-stage approval routing, and deep Adobe Creative Cloud integration. If you run a creative department reviewing 50+ proofs a month, PageProof is purpose-built for that.
- Can I collect feedback on a PDF without the client installing anything?
- Yes. In Drafty, upload the PDF, share the link, and the client pins comments on the exact spot — no install, no extension, no invitation email. They open the link and they're already in the review.
- Does Drafty have approval workflows like PageProof?
- Not today. Drafty is for the one-to-one designer-to-client handoff — one link, anchored comments, and Claude shipping the fix on the same URL. If you need multi-stage routing with automated reviewer handoffs and compliance audit trails, PageProof is the right tool.
- What happens when I update the design — do I resend the link?
- No. In Drafty, the same link shows the latest version. Your client can refresh and see the change without you resending anything or creating a new proof. In PageProof, uploading a new version creates a new proof that typically requires a new invitation.
