Considered Both Products	Frontify Verified User Anonymous Chose Frontify We've invested time building our own hosted interface, and recently begun exploring Figma for design system management too. The benefit of Frontify is it's easy public access. The downfall is integration with other systems required in the UX, Design, Product Management, and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Frontify Frontify's pricing is much more competitive. Incentivized Helpful? Shelle Pourmanafzadehardabili Principal Chose Frontify OpenBrand.com is not quite as visually appealing as Frontify, but it would be worth investigating if you are looking for brand management. I frequently use them in combination with each other and have a more appealing pricing structure. Incentivized Helpful? Stefanie Cash Digital Marketing Manager Chose Frontify I'm not sure of other software that is too similar Frontify. We chose Frontify because of prior usage at other organizations. Frontify is easy to use and allows for the central management of brand assets and guidelines. Incentivized Helpful?	Marq Helen Siwak President Chose Marq I tried to use Canva as a more affordable option early on but found that the platform didn't really work well with text and creating cohesive design was difficult because of the way the page layouts were. Every page was separate and it wasn't easy to scroll to find errors in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Marq I think if we had found Canva first we would have probably chosen it as our platform. We had already invested a lot of time and energy into developing multiple templates and branding standards in LucidPress. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Frontify	Marq
Likelihood to Recommend	Simple and straightforward to understand, usable without much introduction, even for users without much prior knowledge. Helps us enormously, the image database saves us so much time and nerves. Before, we always had to search for a picture for a very long time, now it's super fast thanks to keywords. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It’s a good platform to provide a hub for locked down template management. If you are needing a service for managing branded assets and users across multiple teams or departments this can be a good fit. However if you are looking for an online design software you may be better served by other platforms Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	It manages the visual aspects of a brand very well. It is easy to use and update. It converts the colors from hex to rgb and cmyk seamlessly. It has a nice user interface. Incentivized Shelle Pourmanafzadehardabili Principal Read full review	User management Easy to create and edit templates Able to install an approval layer to govern use Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	I believe having an agency option would be great so that one could manage and build multiple brands for multiple clients. Having sections for voice and personality would be great. The ability to export a brand document to a .PDF to share with partners. Incentivized Shelle Pourmanafzadehardabili Principal Read full review	Automated page numbering would be amazing Scroll button should be darker to find it easier More template options Incentivized Helen Siwak, EcoLuxLuv Comms President Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Frontify is very easy to use and makes updating information a breeze. Frontify acts a central location to house assets and information for easy sharing. You can plug and play information and even white label the guide if desired Incentivized Stefanie Cash Digital Marketing Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	We've invested time building our own hosted interface, and recently begun exploring Figma for design system management too. The benefit of Frontify is it's easy public access. The downfall is integration with other systems required in the UX, Design, Product Management, and Development processes - something Figma supports well. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I tried to use Canva as a more affordable option early on but found that the platform didn't really work well with text and creating cohesive design was difficult because of the way the page layouts were.

Return on Investment	For a highly visual brand with a small team, I believe the time saved and the tools offered would make the plus plan attractive. I do not know that I would recommend the larger plans to my clients. Incentivized Shelle Pourmanafzadehardabili Principal Read full review	I am able to save over $10K per issue by doing the design and layout myself. I am able to save at least 2-3 weeks per issue by doing the design and layout myself. I don't need to employ a team to compile each issue, I do it all myself.
