The 12 Best Designity Alternatives in 2026, Compared on Their Own Terms

Designity sells a Creative Director-led team by the hour: $5,995 a month for 120 dedicated hours or $8,995 for 180, month to month, with a two-week trial and no upfront payment. People go looking for alternatives for three reasons that I hear again and again. The hours run out in a heavy month. The work is more video than the plan is built for. Or the price is right but they want a different shape: a queue at a third of the cost, a bigger production engine above it, or one person who does everything.

I work at Moonb, and Moonb is the first entry below, so read the whole page with that in mind. I checked all twelve at the time of writing on their own pricing pages and on Trustpilot, Clutch and G2, and where a company does not publish something I say “not publicly stated” rather than borrowing a number from another roundup. Several of the figures that circulate about these companies are a year or more out of date.

Four models, and which one you are leaving

Every service here runs on one of four models, and choosing the model matters more than choosing the name.

• Directed team. A Creative Director leads a dedicated group for you. Designity, Moonb and Superside. Highest judgement, highest price.
• Hours or slots. You buy daily hours or parallel slots and the team works your queue. Flocksy, Design Pickle, No Limit Creatives, Kimp.
• Design queue. A designer, matched or assigned, works one request at a time at a low monthly price. Penji, ManyPixels, DotYeti, Awesomic.
• Solo studio. One person does all of it. Designjoy.

Designity is a directed team sized in hours, which is why it lands in the middle on price. If you are leaving because of the hours, look at the queue and slot models. If you are leaving because of the video, look at the directed teams.

The 12 best Designity alternatives

1. Moonb

This one is ours. Moonb is a dedicated creative team for marketing teams: video, motion and design from one group led by a Creative Director, on an ongoing monthly basis. It is the closest model to Designity on this list, with the weight shifted towards video and motion production.

• Best for: marketing teams whose output is campaign- and video-led and who want one accountable creative lead
• Pricing: not published; a set monthly cost or a per-project quote depending on the work
• Clients they name: Dell, Toyota, Nestle
• Why they stand out: video, motion and design from one senior team rather than a design queue with video bolted on
• Worth knowing: it is a step up in scope from an hours-based design plan, so a team that only needs a steady stream of social graphics will find a better fit further down this list

2. Superside

Superside is the enterprise end of this market: a Creative Director and a Creative Project Manager on every account, around 800 people across 67 countries, and the widest service list in the category, from ad creative to video production to AI image models.

• Best for: large brands running many campaigns at once that need follow-the-sun capacity and a published enterprise price
• Pricing: from a $15,000 monthly minimum plus a $1,000 software fee on an annual term; Dedicated plans from $30,000; a $20,000 three-week Quick Start onboarding engagement (not a trial)
• Clients they name: Colgate-Palmolive, Figma, Microsoft, Reddit, Amazon Pharmacy
• Why they stand out: real production scale and a creative director by default, with the price on the page
• Worth knowing: a twelve-month commitment at roughly $192,000 all in, two revision rounds per project, and a 2.9 on Clutch from six reviews against a 4.3 on Trustpilot from 389 (its G2 page is 4.5 from 115)

3. Design Pickle

Design Pickle sizes plans by daily creative hours, from two a day, and no longer publishes a price: its pricing page books a consultation and says “you get the number on the call.” Every plan includes a brand-trained team, human review of each deliverable, next-business-day first drafts, and an art director and production coordinator on request.

• Best for: high-volume production design with a quality gate, and teams that live in Canva or Slack
• Pricing: not published; quarterly or annual billing only, auto-renewing, no refunds after a renewal
• Clients they name: American VoxPop, ShiftUp, Basata, SmartyPants
• Why they stand out: a separate quality-review step and art direction without paying for a full-time art director
• Worth knowing: a 3.4 on Trustpilot from 365 reviews, designers who can rotate on your queue, and a quarter or a year of lock-in against Designity’s month-to-month terms

4. Penji

Penji is the friendliest set of terms in the category: $995 a month for Essentials, $1,995 for Agency Partner and from $4,500 for Dedicated Team, with a 30-day money-back guarantee, no contracts and cancel any time. An AI system matches each project to a designer; the same designer is only guaranteed on the top plan.

• Best for: teams that need steady graphic design at a price a marketing manager can approve, and agencies reselling design under their own label
• Pricing: $995, $1,995 and from $4,500 a month; 15 percent off quarterly, 20 percent off yearly
• Clients they name: people at Uber, Coinbase, CVS Pharmacy and Forbes in testimonials
• Why they stand out: a 4.8 on Trustpilot from 392 reviews and a refund window instead of a sales call
• Worth knowing: Essentials has one brand, no Slack and no phone support; video and motion start at the second tier

5. ManyPixels

ManyPixels publishes every rate for every billing cycle: $699 a month for Advanced, $1,199 for Business, $1,399 for an Assigned Designer and $2,599 for a two-person Design Team, falling to $559 to $2,079 on yearly billing. Every plan transfers full copyright, and you can pause for $10 a month.

• Best for: small teams that want a visible price, a named designer at the mid tier, and files they own outright
• Pricing: $699 to $2,599 a month; no contract; pause for $10
• Clients they name: WKS Restaurant, Cart.com, Fujifilm; Algolia and MacLean-Fogg on its testimonials page
• Why they stand out: it defines “unlimited” and “daily output” in plain words on its own page, which almost nobody else does
• Worth knowing: the designer plans are offered only for US Eastern, Central European and Indochina hours, and there is no creative director in the model

6. Kimp

Kimp lists Graphics and Video plans at $1,397 a month each and both together at $1,697, with a 50 percent promotion on the first four months running when I checked. It is unusually specific about capacity: one project manager and three designers per client, allocating two to two and a half hours of production a business day.

• Best for: teams that want graphics and short video from one plan and like knowing the daily capacity in hours
• Pricing: $1,397 or $1,697 a month; month to month; seven-day trial; pause for $19.95
• Clients they name: a homepage logo strip; the company says it is trusted by more than 5,000 businesses
• Why they stand out: a 4.9 on Trustpilot from 353 reviews, a 4.7 on Clutch from 30, and a video plan built around one short animation every 24 hours
• Worth knowing: the lead is a project manager, not a creative director, and no refunds are given for inactivity

7. Awesomic

Awesomic matches you with a vetted designer within 24 hours and lets you rematch at any time at no cost. Its plans run from a $200-a-month AI Designer tier through a $1,490 Graphic Pack and a $2,995 All-in-One that adds no-code, copywriting and QA, up to a Dedicated Talent plan priced on a demo.

• Best for: startups that want a fast match, a rematch safety valve, and design plus no-code from one vendor
• Pricing: $200, $1,490 and $2,995 a month, lower on a quarterly commitment; Dedicated Talent by demo
• Clients they name: Y Combinator, Coca-Cola, Disney, Udemy, EY, PandaDoc
• Why they stand out: a Y Combinator company whose homepage cites a 4.8 on Trustpilot, with daily progress updates in the app
• Worth knowing: the quarterly plan can only be cancelled after three months, and the monthly tiers are part-time talents with no creative director stated

8. Flocksy

Flocksy moved to daily hours in November 2025, which makes it the most direct like-for-like alternative to Designity’s model. Plans run from two daily hours at $1,699 a month to eight at $5,899, with a Production Coordinator from four hours and an Art Director on every brief from six, and a permanent specialist per discipline rather than a rotating pool.

• Best for: teams that like Designity’s hours model but want a lower entry point and a fixed designer, video editor and illustrator
• Pricing: $1,699 to $5,899 a month month to month, $1,199 to $3,799 on annual; 14-day money-back guarantee
• Clients they name: Tito’s, American Airlines, Liquid Death, Forbes, Yamaha, State Farm
• Why they stand out: unused hours roll over for 30 days, every minute is tracked, and the same video editor cuts every video
• Worth knowing: the Art Director only arrives at six daily hours, which is $4,499 a month, and Clutch shows no reviews against a 4.5 on Trustpilot

9. Designjoy

Designjoy is one designer, its founder, Brett, working directly with a limited roster of clients at $4,995 a month, one request at a time, with an average 48-hour delivery. It is the purest version of the productized model and a useful contrast to Designity: a single hand instead of a team, at roughly the same price.

• Best for: founders and startups who want one consistent designer for product, web and brand work
• Pricing: $4,995 a month, shown against a $5,995 list price; pause or cancel any time; 75 percent back inside the first week
• Clients they name: Buy Me A Coffee, Switchboard, Nectar Sleep
• Why they stand out: remarkable consistency because the same person touches everything, and Webflow development is treated as a design request
• Worth knowing: no video, no animation, no 3D and no long print, one active request at a time, and only two Trustpilot reviews, both from 2023

10. Growmodo

Growmodo now positions itself as an “AI-native production partner” for agencies: design and development from a matched pool of 120-plus specialists, managed by a dedicated project manager, white-label by default. Its prices came off the public site; the entry point is a 30-minute “scaling audit” call.

• Best for: agencies at capacity that need design and development delivered under their own brand
• Pricing: not published; “one predictable monthly cost,” no contracts, and you do not pay until onboarding is complete
• Clients they name: Digital Ash Agency, VH3 Digital, SKB Digital, Brainstorm Club
• Why they stand out: 151 catalogued project types across design and development, and a 4.8 on Trustpilot from 86 reviews
• Worth knowing: talent is matched per project rather than fixed, revision policy is not published, and the company is headquartered in Germany per its Imprint, so ask which law governs the contract and which hours the team keeps

11. No Limit Creatives

No Limit Creatives prices by active slots and support level. Self-Managed plans start at $500 a month for two slots of digital-ad work and run to $3,000 for six slots of full-stack design; Fully Managed plans, which add a dedicated Creative Director and project manager, run from $900 to $5,400.

• Best for: teams that want to dial capacity up and down by slot, and a creative director at a mid-market price on the managed tier
• Pricing: $500 to $5,400 a month by plan, support level and slots; month to month; 10 percent off for a prepaid year
• Clients they name: Binance, Bumble, Digital Marketer, Proof, VitaCup
• Why they stand out: a 4.9 on Trustpilot from 261 reviews and a Fully Managed tier with named creative direction
• Worth knowing: no trial, no refunds, hours are 8am to 8pm Eastern only, and the site’s pages disagree on whether copywriting is included

12. DotYeti

DotYeti calls itself a boutique design firm for marketing teams and prices in four tiers: Base at $995, Scale at $1,595 with a dedicated art director, Summit at $2,595 with an account manager, motion and video, and Apex Studio from $3,995 with 3D and campaign strategy. Every monthly plan carries a 14-day money-back guarantee.

• Best for: marketing teams that want an art director at the second tier and motion and video at the third without an enterprise price
• Pricing: $995 to $2,595 a month, lower on a six-month term; Apex from $3,995
• Clients they name: HubSpot, Best Western, Autodesk, TikTok, WWF UK
• Why they stand out: a 4.8 on Trustpilot and a tier ladder that adds direction and disciplines rather than only hours
• Worth knowing: two requests at a time on every tier below Apex, a two-to-three-day turnaround at Base, and per a January 2024 FE International press release the company was sold to an unnamed buyer

How to choose, in four questions

• Is it the hours or the video? If Designity’s hours run out on production design, Flocksy, No Limit Creatives and Kimp sell more capacity for less. If they run out on video, a directed team is the answer, not more hours.
• Who owns the brand? Only Designity, Moonb, Superside and the managed tiers of No Limit Creatives put a named creative director on your account. Everything else is a project manager or an art director on request.
• What are the exit terms? Designity’s seven-day notice is unusually kind. Superside wants a year, Design Pickle a quarter, Awesomic’s quarterly plan three months. Read that line before the price line.
• How thin is the evidence? Two of these companies have review samples under five. Weight the ones with hundreds.

For the two comparisons people ask us about most, my colleague’s Superside vs Designity and my own Designity vs Design Pickle go line by line, and the Designity pricing guide explains what the hours buy before you leave.
