A 2-Week Trial to Experience the System

No Upfront Payment. No Annual Commitment.

Step 1

You're paired with a dedicated Creative Director who becomes your single point of contact throughout the trial. Your Creative Director oversees strategy, project execution, and quality, while coordinating the right mix of designers, marketers, and specialists behind the scenes.

Instead of managing tasks or freelancers yourself, you get hands-on creative leadership that keeps work moving fast and aligned with your brand and goals.

Step 2

Your Creative Director assembles and manages a flexible team from Designity’s vetted, US-based creative community, so you’re not limited to one role or skill set.

Whether you need design, copywriting, video, web, or marketing support, your team adapts as priorities change, without re-hiring, re-scoping, or switching platforms.

Step 3

Designity provides a structured, transparent workflow designed to keep projects moving without bottlenecks. You’ll have clear timelines, defined milestones, and consistent communication, so you always know what’s in progress and what’s coming next.

Weekly check-ins, ongoing collaboration, and monthly ROI reporting ensure work stays aligned, on track, and accountable, without relying on Slack threads or ad-hoc updates.

FAQ

Designity yellow FAQ shape
Designity-Decorative
What is Superside?

Superside is a subscription-based creative services provider that focuses primarily on design execution. Their model typically assigns clients a project manager who coordinates work across a global pool of designers. Superside operates on longer-term (one-year minimum) contracts and is best suited for teams looking for design-only support at scale, and are comfortable with annual commitments above $120,000.

Designity-Decorative
What is the difference between Superside and Designity?

The biggest difference is how teams are structured and led.

Designity provides a Creative Director–led, full-stack creative and marketing team, acting as a strategic extension of your in-house team. Superside, on the other hand, focuses more on design execution managed by project managers, without a dedicated Creative Director overseeing strategy, quality, and brand consistency.


Additionally, Designity offers:

  • Month-to-month flexibility (no annual commitment)
  • A 2-week trial with no upfront payment
  • 100+ design and marketing services under one plan
Designity-Decorative
Why should I use Designity over Superside?

Designity is a better fit if you’re looking for strategic guidance, not just production.


With Designity, you don’t just submit tasks — you work directly with a Creative Director who:

  • Has 10+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Understands your business goals
  • Shapes creative strategy
  • Assembles and manages the right specialists for each project


This model works especially well for both growing and enterprise teams that need ongoing creative leadership, cross-functional execution, and the ability to scale up or down without long-term contracts. You are also supported by project managers who ensure speed and smooth collaboration.

Designity-Decorative
What are 5 key benefits to using Designity over Superside?
  1. Dedicated Creative Director
    Every account is led by a Creative Director with 10+ years of experience.
  2. Full-Stack Creative & Marketing Support
    Designity covers design, marketing, web, video, copywriting, and more, not just design.
  3. Month-to-Month Flexibility
    No annual contracts. Upgrade, downgrade, pause, or cancel anytime.
  4. US-Based Top 3% Talent
    Majority of the creatives are vetted and based in the US, reducing timezone and communication friction.
  5. Risk-Free 2-Week Trial
    Start with a trial to evaluate quality, speed, and collaboration — no upfront payment required.
Designity-Decorative
Which is more affordable: Superside or Designity?

Designity is more cost-effective and flexible for most teams.

  • Designity offers month-to-month plans starting at a lower entry point, with no annual commitment.
  • Superside requires annual contracts, with pricing that can exceed $120,000+ per year with additional monthly service costs.

Because Designity includes a Creative Director, project manager, and access to 100+ services under one flexible plan, teams get more value per dollar without being locked into long-term contracts.

Designity-Decorative
Does Superside offer dedicated design teams?

Superside does not provide a dedicated Creative Director–led team.

Instead, clients are usually assigned a project manager who coordinates tasks across a rotating pool of designers. While this works for execution-heavy workflows, it can limit strategic continuity, brand consistency, and long-term creative ownership.


Designity assigns every client a dedicated Creative Director, who leads the account, understands your brand deeply, and builds a consistent team around your needs.

Designity-Decorative
Can Designity handle enterprise creative needs?

Yes. Designity supports enterprise and high-growth teams that require ongoing creative leadership, scalability, and cross-functional execution.

Enterprise teams use Designity for:

  • Multi-brand creative support
  • High-volume design and marketing output
  • Strategic campaign execution
  • Website, product, and UX initiatives
  • Long-term brand management

Designity’s model allows enterprises to scale creative resources up or down without the rigidity of traditional agencies or annual subscriptions.

Designity-Decorative
How do Superside’s turnaround times compare to Designity’s?

Both platforms aim for fast turnaround times, but the process differs significantly.

Designity focuses on predictable delivery and guaranteed deadlines, led by a Creative Director who prioritizes work, manages resources, and ensures quality before delivery. Unlimited revisions and requests are included, with transparent timelines.


Superside’s turnaround times vary based on workload and subscription tier, and projects are often limited by credit systems or revision caps.


For teams that value speed with consistency and strategic oversight, Designity typically offers a smoother experience.

Designity-Decorative
Is Designity a good alternative to Superside?

Yes. Designity is commonly chosen as a Superside alternative by teams looking for:
More flexibility with monthly plans

  • Dedicated creative leadership via our Creative Directors
  • Broader service coverage with 100+ creative services
  • Transparent flat pricing without annual contracts
Designity-Decorative
Who is Designity the best fit for?

Designity is ideal for teams that:

  • Need ongoing creative and marketing execution
  • Want strategic oversight, not just output
  • Value flexibility over annual commitments
  • Are scaling faster than in-house hiring allows

Teams looking only for single-task design or guaranteed performance outcomes may not be the best fit.

Designity-Decorative
Does Designity require an annual contract like Superside?

No. Designity offers flexible month-to-month plans and a 2-week trial with no upfront payment.

Designity-Decorative
Does Designity handle technical work like website or mobile app design?

Yes. Designity supports website design, UX/UI, and mobile app design, including collaboration with in-house or external developers.

While Designity does not replace engineering teams, Creative Directors ensure design systems, UX flows, documentation, and handoffs are production-ready, reducing rework and development friction.

Designity-Decorative
Can Designity support video, events, or presentation work?

Yes. Teams frequently use Designity for:

  • Video editing and motion graphics
  • Conference and event branding
  • Sales decks and pitch presentations
  • Product launches and internal communications

These are areas where many design subscriptions are often more limited, credit-based, or rigid.

Designity-Decorative
Does Designity have experience in specific industries like SaaS or healthcare?

Yes. Designity works across all industries, including B2B SaaS, healthcare, fintech, consumer brands, retail, food & beverage, and enterprise teams.

When industry context matter, such as regulated healthcare or complex enterprise products—clients are matched with a Creative Director who has relevant domain experience.

Designity-Decorative
How is the Creative Director matched to my needs?

Designity matches each client with a Creative Director based on industry experience, creative style, and project requirements.

If your work requires specialized expertise, such as healthcare compliance, enterprise SaaS, or brand-heavy storytelling, that context is built into the matching process.

Designity-Decorative
How does working with a Creative Director differ from Superside’s model?

Designity assigns a Creative Director as your single point of ownership, not just a project manager.

Your Creative Director:

  • Leads creative strategy
  • Reviews and QA’s all work
  • Manages and syncs talent
  • Ensures brand consistency across projects

You also get a dedicated project manager that oversees timely execution of your projects and ensures deadlines are met.

This differs from Superside’s model, which typically centers on task coordination rather than creative leadership.

Designity-Decorative
How does project management and tracking work?

Designity provides a centralized client dashboard with real-time visibility into:

  • Active projects and timelines
  • Deliverables and priorities
  • Communication and feedback

Your Creative Director handles delegation and quality control and your project manager handles project management, so you’re not managing freelancers or juggling workflows.

Designity-Decorative
Can Designity support different time zones or extended coverage?

Yes. Designity primarily works with US-based creatives, but collaboration windows can be adjusted based on your team’s needs.

Creative Directors structure workflows to maintain momentum across time zones without requiring clients to manage schedules or handoffs.

Designity-Decorative
What happens during the 2-week trial?

During the 2-week trial, you will:

  • Work directly with your assigned Creative Director and the team
  • Submit real project requests
  • Evaluate quality, speed, and collaboration

There is no upfront payment and no long-term commitment. The trial is designed to reduce risk—unlike annual design subscriptions.
