Monday.com Alternative for Design Agencies
Design agencies rely on visual collaboration, client feedback loops, and creative asset management — areas where Monday.com falls short. You need a platform that handles design revision workflows, visual proofing, and creative brief management alongside invoicing and client communication. AgencyPro was designed for exactly this.
Why Design Agencies Struggle with Monday.com
Monday.com has no built-in design proofing or visual feedback tools, forcing design teams to rely on Figma comments plus email chains
Managing revision rounds across 20+ active design projects becomes a maze of board updates and status changes
Clients can't easily review and approve design concepts without getting access to your entire Monday.com workspace
Tracking billable design hours per project phase (concept, design, revisions) requires manual time entry and formula columns
Why Design Agencies Switch to AgencyPro
Visual Proofing & Client Approvals
Upload design files and share them directly with clients for feedback and approval. Clients can leave comments on specific designs, approve final versions, and request revisions — all within their branded portal. No more email chains with "see attached v7_final_FINAL.pdf."
Creative Project Templates
Set up templates for logo design, brand identity, website design, packaging, and other common design projects with pre-defined phases, milestones, and checklists. Spin up new design projects in seconds with the right structure already in place.
Design-Specific Time & Budget Tracking
Track billable hours per design phase — research, concepting, design, revisions, production. Monitor project budgets in real-time and alert designers when projects are approaching their hour caps so scope creep doesn't eat your margins.
File Sharing & Asset Management
Share design files, mockups, and brand assets with clients through a secure portal. Keep all versions organized by project, maintain clear revision histories, and let clients download final deliverables from their own dashboard.
Key Features for Design Agencies
Design Brief Management
Create structured design briefs with mood boards, brand guidelines, and project requirements that clients can review and approve before work begins.
Revision Tracking
Track the number of revision rounds per project, automatically enforce revision limits in contracts, and log time spent on revisions separately.
File Version Control
Upload multiple versions of design files with clear version numbering. Clients always see the latest version, and your team can reference any previous iteration.
White-Label Client Portal
Brand the entire client experience with your agency's logo, colors, and custom domain. Clients interact with your brand, not a generic project management tool.
Scope & Budget Alerts
Set project hour limits and budgets, receive automatic alerts when you're approaching limits, and prevent scope creep before it impacts profitability.
Integrated Invoicing
Generate invoices based on design milestones, completed phases, or tracked hours. Send professional invoices and accept payments without switching tools.
“What has made my experience with AgencyPro great is how thoughtfully the whole platform is put together. It replaces the patchwork of tools we used to rely on with one cohesive system.”
