# Which online proofing tool is best suited for in-house creative teams vs. agencies juggling approvals across multiple clients?

<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/gain/reviews"><strong>Gain</strong></a> is explicitly built for agencies, with dedicated workspaces per client and separate content calendars, and one reviewer specifically switched from a pricier tool because half their new clients were confused by the old one, while Gain onboarded fifty clients without a single question.</li>

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/pageproof/reviews"><strong>PageProof</strong></a> shows up across global marketing departments, in-house creative teams, and agencies alike, with reviewers describing governed approval workflows that keep the right stakeholders reviewing the right content at the right stage regardless of which side of that split you're on.</li>

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ziflow/reviews"><strong>Ziflow</strong></a> skews heavily toward marketing and advertising, with a sizable chunk of its reviewer base in agency roles specifically, citing automated workflow routing that separates creative review, legal, and client approval into distinct stages.</li>

Online Proofing reviews on G2 for the agency-versus-in-house split describe workspace separation as a real fix for one problem and a new source of overhead for another. Gain&#39;s dedicated per-client workspaces solve the confusion a prior, pricier tool created for new clients is a concrete before-and-after comparison worth weighing more than a general satisfaction score, since it&#39;s describing a specific onboarding failure mode rather than a vague preference.
Ziflow&#39;s automated routing, separating creative, legal, and client approval into distinct stages, is answering a workflow-structure question more than a workspace-separation one, which matters for agencies whose bottleneck is really about who signs off in what order rather than which client&#39;s assets live where. PageProof showing up across both in-house and agency reviewers with the same governed-workflow language suggests the underlying approval structure problem is similar either way, and the agency-specific need is really about isolation between clients layered on top of that shared foundation, not a completely different product category.
