When Ziflow is the better choice
If work passes through several stages of internal and external review, or you have 15 or more people involved, Ziflow is made for that. Its free plan may also suit one or two people with light needs.
When ClientOkay is the better choice
If your review has one step, your client saying yes or asking for changes, you don't need workflow stages. You need the link, the round count, the reminders and the record.
What ClientOkay does
- One link per request. Your client approves or requests changes on their phone, with no account.
- Revision rounds counted against what you agreed, on your page and on theirs.
- Reminders 48 hours before the due date, 24 hours before, and when it's due.
- Optional auto-approve 24 hours after the due date, only if your client was told.
- A dated activity log that exports as a sign-off PDF.
