· SUPERFLOW VS PASTEL · THE AI QA REVIEWER FOR AGENCIES
Pastel is a feedback tool. Superflow is a feedback tool + a team.
The team is AI agents, built from your QA checklist. They check every site change and pin what they find. Your team decides. Your client approves from a link.
If your agency reviews client sites in Pastel, this page is for you.
ship sites effortlesly
The collaborative platform for modern web teams.
Who checks the site
Pastel was built before AI could check a site.
Verdict
A canvas is a record of what a person already caught. That's the part Superflow removes.
Superflow
Superflow- Agents run your checklist. Every change, desktop and mobile.
- Findings land as pinned comments, rationale attached.
Pastel
Pastel- A person finds every issue, then pins a comment on the canvas.
- No AI features found on the vendor site.

How the client says yes
Feedback is easy to collect. A yes is harder.
Verdict
Both have a recorded yes, not just a comment thread. The gate itself is even.
Superflow
- Multi-step review flows: agents check, your team gates, then the client.
- Your client opens a link and taps Approve. No account, no login, no app, from their phone.
Pastel
- Guests comment with no account and no login, unlimited on every plan.
- A real approval gate, even: the Finish Review button lets anyone approve or request changes, tied to a canvas version.

Where you review
Half of client work lives behind a password.
Verdict
Both review the live site. Pastel routes it through a proxy; Superflow lives on the page itself. Behind logins, both work, said plainly.
Superflow
- Superflow lives on the site itself: passwords, Okta, SSO, no extension needed, guests included.
- Findings tagged by device.
Pastel
- Both review the live site, even: Pastel serves it through its own proxy in a canvas, not a snapshot. It auto-updates when the site changes.
- Private and password-protected sites work by logging in through Browse mode. No extension needed.
(verified July 2026)
What stays private
Your team needs somewhere to disagree.
Verdict
Both give your team a place to disagree before the client sees a settled answer. Call it even.
Superflow
- Internal-only notes your team sees and the client never does.
- The debate stays private; the client sees one settled answer.
Pastel
- Private, team-only comments, even: listed from the Free plan up.
(verified July 2026)
What gets captured
Both tools pin. The difference is what gets attached without asking.
Verdict
Auto-capture is even; both attach proof without asking. Superflow records the reviewer's screen, voice, and video from the toolbar; Pastel reviews video you upload, and recording your own screen there is not yet verified.
Superflow
- Element and text pins, area comments.
- A screenshot attaches to every comment automatically.
- Recordings: screen, video, voice, from the toolbar.
Pastel
- An automatic screenshot attaches to every comment too, even, plus browser type and screen size. OS in captured metadata: not yet verified.
- Video Canvases add timestamped comments on uploaded video files.
- Screen or session recording of a reviewer's own screen: not yet verified.
(verified July 2026 except where noted)
What it remembers
Boards hold tasks. They don't accumulate a client.
Verdict
The tenth project should not start like the first, and the approval shouldn't reset either.
Superflow
- Brand rules and past decisions, learned once, fed to the agents next project.
Pastel
- No memory concept in product. Each canvas starts blank, and approvals reset on every new version.

How it fits your stack
The fix still has to ship.
Verdict
Pastel's exports are real but one-way and gated to its Team plan. Superflow syncs two-way from the plan you're already on.
Superflow
- Custom statuses, client gates, kanban.
- Two-way Asana, Monday, ClickUp. Slack built in.
Pastel
- Export comments to Trello, Monday.com, Asana, Jira, a custom webhook, or Zapier, gated to the Team plan ($119/mo).
- Each export carries text, metadata, screenshot, and a link back. Two-way status sync: not yet verified; the export itself is one-way.

Switching
Switching is an afternoon, not a migration.
- One snippet on any site; one click on Webflow, WordPress, or GTM.
- Paste the checklist you already have; agents assemble from it.
- Open Pastel canvases finish in Pastel. No dedicated importer from Pastel found; nothing migrates on day one.
The honest close
What Pastel gets right.
Pastel earned its place. No install on your live site, no extension, no code snippet: paste a URL and share one link. The canvas stays current on its own; it is not a stale copy. The Finish Review gate is real, and every plan gets unlimited guest reviewers, free.
If a careful human pass on a live site, plus a simple approve or request-changes sign-off, works for your studio, Pastel is a fast, low-friction fit. Stay.
