## Dimension by dimension

| Dimension | Superflow | Pastel | Verdict |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Who checks the site | Agents run your checklist. Every change, desktop and mobile. Findings land as pinned comments, rationale attached. | A person finds every issue, then pins a comment on the canvas. No AI features found on the vendor site. (checked July 2026) | A canvas is a record of what a person already caught. That's the part Superflow removes. |
| How the client says yes | 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. | 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. (verified July 2026) | Both have a recorded yes, not just a comment thread. The gate itself is even. |
| Where you review | Superflow lives on the site itself: passwords, Okta, SSO, no extension needed, guests included. Findings tagged by device. | 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) | Both review the live site. Pastel routes it through a proxy; Superflow lives on the page itself. Behind logins, both work, said plainly. |
| What stays private | Internal-only notes your team sees and the client never does. The debate stays private; the client sees one settled answer. | Private, team-only comments, even: listed from the Free plan up. (verified July 2026) | Both give your team a place to disagree before the client sees a settled answer. Call it even. |
| What gets captured | Element and text pins, area comments. A screenshot attaches to every comment automatically. Recordings: screen, video, voice, from the toolbar. | 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) | 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. |
| What it remembers | Brand rules and past decisions, learned once, fed to the agents next project. | No memory concept in product. Each canvas starts blank, and approvals reset on every new version. (checked July 2026) | The tenth project should not start like the first, and the approval shouldn't reset either. |
| How it fits your stack | Custom statuses, client gates, kanban. Two-way Asana, Monday, ClickUp. Slack built in. | 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. (verified July 2026) | 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. |

## Questions and answers

### Is Superflow just Pastel with AI on top?

No. Pastel's canvas files what a person found; Superflow's agents do the finding. A person makes every call.

### Do the agents replace my reviewers?

No. Agents run the first pass. Your team, then your client, signs off.

### What happens to our Pastel canvases?

Finish them in Pastel. Start new work in Superflow. Nothing migrates on day one.

### Will our clients have to learn a new tool?

No. They get a link and an Approve button. No account, no login, no app, from their phone.

### We export from Pastel to Trello or Asana.

Superflow syncs two-way with Asana, Monday, and ClickUp, plus webhooks and a REST API. Pastel's exports are one-way and gated to its Team plan; if you need status to flow back automatically, weigh that.

### What does it cost?

From the Growth plan. See /pricing.

Teams leave contextual feedback on live sites, staging environments, PDFs, images, videos, and Lottie animations, and comments sync two-way with Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Slack, Webflow, and Google Tag Manager.
