## Short answer

- Filestage is a strong proofing tool for files and assets, and some agencies searching here also want QA for the live site in the mix. Five options. One is ours. One is staying put.

## How these were judged

- **Who checks the site.** agents, or a person
- **How the client says yes.** a recorded approval, or a comment
- **Where you review.** the live site, behind logins, or a proxy
- **What stays private.** internal notes the client never sees
- **What gets captured.** screenshots and recordings, automatic or manual
- **What it remembers.** does project ten start smarter than project one
- **How it fits your stack.** boards, statuses, and the tools it syncs with
- **What it costs.** plan posture and per-seat math, dated

## Scorecard

| --- | --- | --- |
| Who checks the site | AI agents scan files, Business plan and up; a person reviews live sites | agents, from your checklist |
| How the client says yes | no account needed; reviewer groups, due dates, reminders, Approve or Request changes; Verified sign-off on higher tiers | a recorded approval: team gate, then client gate |
| Where you review | live URL embed, real time, no saved history; private sites need IP whitelisting, not a reviewer login | live site, behind logins and SSO, no extension |
| What stays private | team-only comments, Starter plan and up | internal-only comments |
| What gets captured | timestamped video and audio annotations; automatic screenshots on website comments; session recordings - | automatic screenshots; screen, video, voice |
| What it remembers | no | Memory, per client |
| How it fits your stack | Jira, Monday, Slack, Teams, Zapier, Make, Adobe apps, Google Drive; two-way ticket sync - | statuses, client gates, kanban; two-way Asana, Monday, ClickUp; Slack |
| What it costs | EUR 0 / EUR 199 / EUR 329 per month, 10 seats included, +5 seat bundles (July 2026) | From the Growth plan. See /pricing. |
