A quick summary
We’re biased, but honest: For some of you, Filestage will be the better option. What we’re trying to demonstrate is when Picflow is a better fit in terms of features, use cases, and pricing.
Both Filestage and Picflow help creative teams share and review visual content, but they have different strengths. Filestage focuses on structured approval workflows – it’s ideal when you require multiple review stages and involvement from cross-department stakeholders (from designers to legal reviewers).
Picflow, on the other hand, is tailored to individual creative professionals and small teams who need a simple, visually appealing way to present work to clients for feedback. Picflow excels in client proofing galleries for photos and videos, offering ease of use and affordability to creatives such as photographers and videographers. In short, choose Filestage if your workflow requires advanced review coordination and full control over the approval process; choose Picflow if you prioritize an easy client gallery experience and straightforward image and video proofing.
We hope your search for a better Filestage alternative ends here.
