ProofForge

    Proofavo alternative

    A Proofavo alternative that checks your artwork too

    Proofavo is a lightweight proofing tool for print shops — one link, pinned comments, recorded approvals. ProofForge covers that same loop, then goes further: AI checks every file for print issues and spelling mistakes, and your whole job pipeline lives on one board.

    Where a basic proofing tool stops

    No automatic check of the artwork itself — colour mode, bleed and spelling are still on you
    No job board to see every proof’s status at a glance
    Limited team features as your shop grows
    No automatic flagging of proofs that have gone quiet

    How ProofForge works

    1. Step 1

      Upload the artwork

      Drop in a PDF, JPG or PNG up to 50 MB. ProofForge creates a job with version 1 and checks print readiness.

    2. Step 2

      Send one proof link

      Your client gets a branded link by email. No account, no login, no downloads — it opens in any browser.

    3. Step 3

      Client marks up and decides

      They drop pins on the exact spot that needs changing, or approve with their name (and optional signature).

    4. Step 4

      Print with a clear record

      Every view, comment and approval is timestamped in the job history, so you know exactly which version was signed off.

    Questions

    Is ProofForge as simple as Proofavo?

    Yes — the client side works the same way: one link, no account, pinned comments and a one-click approval. The extra tools are for your side of the counter.

    What does ProofForge cost?

    $29 AUD/month flat with a 14-day free trial. Extra team seats are $5 AUD each.

    Can clients still approve without an account?

    Absolutely. Clients open the proof link in any browser and approve or pin changes without signing up.
