Client approvals, inside your project board.
Skybase is project management with client approvals built into each job: free for up to 5 users, then $39.90 per user per year. For teams under 63 users, Skybase Pro costs less a year than PageProof Team, which is one price for your whole team.
Every plan, side by side
PageProof sells each plan as one price for a team. Skybase bills per user. Both are shown for a year, billed yearly, in each company's own currency, and each PageProof figure links to the page it comes from.

How each asks for sign-off
Both send work to named people and keep what they decide. PageProof's side is from its own pages.
Skybase
Ask for approval on any job: choose the files, name who approves and set a due date. Each approver reviews from their own link in the email without signing in, pins comments on images, PDF pages and video, and chooses Approve, Approve with changes or Request changes. Reminders go out on their own, a new version asks again, and your team can check the work before the client is asked.
PageProof
Its pricing page lists “Automated workflows to move proofs without chasing” and “Automated reminders to keep reviewers on track”, and its home page says “Reviewers can access a proof directly from their email invitation in their browser”.
The approval sits on the job
In Skybase, files are signed off on the job they belong to, beside its tasks, comments and due date, so nothing is copied between a proofing tool and a project tool. Everything is on every plan, the Free plan included.
What reviewers and clients cost
Neither charges for the people who only review. The difference is what they join.
Skybase
An approver from the client joins your workspace as a single-project guest, free on either plan, and reviews from the link in each email. They see that project and the people on it, and can comment, upload and approve the work they're asked to approve. Add the same person to a second project and they count as a user.
PageProof
PageProof says “All PageProof plans include unlimited proofs, unlimited reviewers, and automated workflows.” Its help centre says everyone in your email domain is covered, along with freelancers outside it.
What PageProof does that Skybase doesn't
A dedicated proofing tool goes further on review. If your team relies on any of these, Skybase isn't the right fit today.
- One price for your whole team: “Everyone in your email domain is covered”, so from 63 users PageProof Team costs less than Skybase Pro.
- Proofs of “website URLs, web banners, zipped HTML content, email marketing, 3D content, design prototypes, interactive PDFs”, and of audio. Skybase previews images, PDFs and video for review.
- Integrations with “Adobe Creative Cloud, monday.com, Asana, Jira, Trello, Canva, Figma, Slack, Microsoft Teams”. Skybase connects Slack and GitHub.
- “Desktop apps for Windows and Mac”. Skybase works in the browser.
- AI-powered insights: “Every plan includes AI-powered insights”. Skybase doesn't use AI to review files.
- “Unlimited storage” on every plan, where Skybase Pro has 100 GB.
- “Single sign-on” on Team Plus and Enterprise, and “Digital signing” on Enterprise. Skybase has Sign in with Google, and no SAML.
Starting with your next project
There's no importer for PageProof, so you start fresh. Finish the reviews already running there, and start the next piece of client work in Skybase.
- 1 Create a project for the client, and add the work as jobs with due dates.
- 2 Invite your team as team members.
- 3 Invite the client to the project as a single-project guest. It's free.
- 4 On a job, ask for approval: choose the files, name the approvers and set a due date. Each approver gets their own link by email.
- 5 When the next version is ready, add it to the same approval, and everyone is asked again.
