DesignOps that scale, not a popularity contest

Superside’s DesignOps process provides you with a dedicated design team that can assist with your immediate needs and scale as you grow. Achieve reliable, high-quality designs with predictable pricing.

99 Designs relies on its contest-based model, with designs submitted by a variety of freelancers who may not fully grasp your brand vision or requirements.

A collaborative creative partner, not erratic competition

Superside assigns you a creative production manager (CPM) who understands your brand, from typefaces to logos and color schemes. They assemble the design specialists you need to deliver the assets you want.

99 Designs is a contest-based platform. While it can offer a broad range of design services, each contest brings different designers with varying styles and understanding of your brand. This can lead to time-consuming onboarding and inconsistent results.

Predictable pricing, no fluctuating costs

Superside offers flexible, subscription-based pricing tailored to your unique requirements. Get started with a full design team for the cost of a junior designer. Unused subscription hours roll over into the next month. Have a significant campaign approaching? Scale your Superside design team to meet your demands—from a single infographic to an entire promotional campaign across all social channels.

99 Designs operates on a contest-based pricing model, with costs depending on the package chosen for each contest. The need for multiple contests or additional freelancers for different design needs can lead to unpredictable expenses.
