kloudboard vsPageProof
if your work is review-and-approval, pageproof is excellent at it. but the moment you need to track the project, talk to your team, and pay the freelancer who made the edit, you're back to juggling five other tabs. kloudboard is the one workspace that does all of it.
Start free — no card required
IncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedFree forever for 5pageproof is a dedicated proofing tool — its file storage holds proofs/versions, not a general team drive, and it has no kanban, team chat, calendar, or freelancer payments.
a proofing tab, or your whole production pipeline
pageproof is built to do one thing extremely well: route a file through review and get it approved. it has no kanban, no project tracking, no card-health view. so the proof lives in pageproof while the actual schedule, status, and to-dos live in trello, asana or monday — which is exactly why pageproof sells integrations to all three. kloudboard puts the kanban board and the frame-accurate review in the same workspace, so 'in review' is an actual column, not a tab you switch to.
talk where the work lives
pageproof keeps the conversation inside proof comments — there's no real-time team chat, so 'did you see the new cut?' happens in slack, and pageproof integrates with slack precisely because the chatter lives somewhere else. kloudboard has built-in real-time Messages, and even bridges your existing slack, discord and whatsapp into one unified inbox so the whole thread sits next to the project.
pay the freelancer who made the edit
once a proof is approved in pageproof, paying the editor or designer is entirely your problem — there's no payments layer. kloudboard pays freelancers directly through Dots (paypal, venmo, cashapp, ach, crypto, payoneer, international bank) at roughly a flat $1 + a small percentage, so approval and payout happen in the same place.
flat-rate that starts at 10 seats vs. free for your first 5
pageproof's paid plans start at $24.90/user/mo with a 10-seat minimum — about $249/mo before you've added a sixth, seventh or eighth real teammate. kloudboard is free forever for up to 5 members (3 projects, 10GB, 1,000 AI credits/mo), then $20/member/mo when you grow. a small studio of four pays $0 on kloudboard and $249/mo on pageproof.
the numbers behind the content, not just the file
pageproof reviews the asset; it can't tell you how it performed. kloudboard adds native social analytics for youtube, instagram, tiktok, x and facebook, so the same workspace that approved the video also tracks how it did once it shipped — something no dedicated proofing tool offers.
ai that's included, not a separate workflow
both tools ship ai — pageproof Intelligence does ai-powered markup and brand/spec checks on proofs, which is genuinely useful. kloudboard's Kloudie assistant (claude haiku 4.5) is included across the whole workspace and credit-metered: 1,000 credits/mo free, plus 10,000 per seat on Pro, so the ai helps with the board, chat and content too — not only the proof.
What kloudboard gives you that PageProof doesn't
- built-in freelancer payments via Dots (paypal, venmo, cashapp, ach, crypto, payoneer, international bank) — approve and pay in one place
- real-time team chat/Messages, plus bridging of slack, discord and whatsapp into one unified inbox
- kanban board tracking with card-health analytics so review status is part of the project, not a separate tab
- native social analytics for youtube, instagram, tiktok, x and facebook
- free forever for 5 members vs. pageproof's 10-seat, ~$249/mo paid minimum
- calendar with google calendar sync and centralized file Drive in the same workspace
Honest pricing
kloudboard
Free forever for up to 5 members, 3 projects, 10GB and unlimited free guests. Pro is a flat $20/member/mo ($180/yr) — video review, freelancer payments, and a free AI assistant all included.
PageProof
PageProof has a genuinely free Reviewer tier ($0, no login — but reviewers can't upload or own proofs), then paid plans start at $24.90/user/mo for Teams with a 10-seat minimum (~$249/mo), $39.90/user for Teams Plus (~$399/mo, adds SSO and more templates), and custom Enterprise (SCIM, data residency, private comments).
if your only job is review-and-approval, pageproof is hard to beat
pageproof is a specialist and it shows. it supports the broadest range of file types for proofing, has polished tools like smart compare, barcode scanning, gridlines, spell check and digital signing, and — crucially — anyone can review for free with no account, no login, no seat. if your workflow is purely 'send creative out, collect markup, get sign-off' and you don't need project tracking, chat or payments, pageproof's depth in proofing is excellent and worth it. kloudboard's review is frame-accurate and free for guests too, but pageproof's two decades of proofing-specific tooling go deeper on that one job.
Frequently asked questions
Is kloudboard really free?
yes. kloudboard is free forever for up to 5 members, with 3 projects, 10GB of storage and 1,000 AI credits a month, and guests/clients are always $0. pageproof has a free Reviewer tier too, but reviewers can't upload or own proofs — creating proofs starts at $24.90/user/mo with a 10-seat minimum.
Can I migrate from PageProof to kloudboard?
there's no one-click pageproof importer today. kloudboard does offer one-click trello board import, and you can move your active work over manually — proofs become frame-accurate review items, and your project tracking lives on the kanban board. your existing pageproof reviewers map cleanly to kloudboard's free guests.
Does kloudboard integrate with PageProof?
no, there's no direct kloudboard–pageproof integration — and you likely wouldn't need one, since kloudboard already includes frame-accurate video and image review with timestamped and draw-on-frame comments built in, so the proofing lives in the same workspace as the rest of the project.
kloudboard vs PageProof for a small creative studio?
for a studio of around four to five people who also need to track projects, chat, and pay freelancers, kloudboard is usually the better fit and starts at $0 (vs. pageproof's ~$249/mo 10-seat minimum). if you're a larger team whose only need is deep, file-agnostic review-and-approval with free unlimited reviewers, pageproof's specialist proofing is excellent.
Does PageProof have team chat, a kanban board, or freelancer payments?
no. pageproof is a dedicated online proofing tool — it has frame-accurate review, workflows and integrations, but no real-time team chat, no kanban project board, no calendar and no way to pay freelancers. kloudboard includes all of those alongside the review tools.
