$499 per month to access the software. The time you put into filling out the Excel sheet and naming the layers in Photoshop isn’t accounted for in this price.

Onboarding

Onboarding is complex and difficult to understand at first with only 4-5 onboarding videos that don’t help to resolve your concerns. There are also technical, long-form written guides that require an understanding of Adobe Photoshop and some Excel wizardry. Support is slow, according to G2 reviews.

Turnaround time

You’re on your own, but there is a support team to help with bugs and confusion (though reviews say they’re slow to respond).

Number of requests / revisions

Number of requests / revisions

Unlimited revisions based on hours available in your selected plans which can scale up or down based on needs. Several simultaneous projects are possible. Any unused hours roll over into the next month.

As many as your spreadsheet allows and as many layers as you can name in Adobe (e.g., text, color, sizes). For new designs, not variations, you’ll need another designer.

Get started

A Design Team That Scales, Not Another Tool in your Stack

Superside gives you a design team to collaborate with and execute any ideas you have—whether it's fresh creative or the more monotonous, production work of small iterations and resizing for different platforms.

Rocketium only gives you a design solution for iterations and variations.


A DesignOps Process, Not a Make Work Project

Submit a brief on Superside's easy-to-use platform, set your turnaround time, and get your creative assets on brand and on time.

With Rocketium, you have to mess around with Adobe's layers, Excel's rows and columns, and then you're finally able to upload to the Rocketium process.


Predictable Pricing, Not Extra Admin Work

Superside offers flexible subscription pricing customized to your unique needs. Get started with a full design team for the price of a junior designer. Unused subscription hours roll over into the next month. Got a big campaign coming up? Your Superside design team scales to suit your demands—from a simple infographic to an entire guide with promotional ads on every social channel.

With Rocketium, you iterate on existing ads. If the ad doesn't work, you'll head back to the designer to execute a whole new idea or campaign concept.
