Free Alternative to InVision and Figma for Collecting Client Feedback
InVision and Figma are excellent design tools, but if you only need to collect feedback from a client on a finished design, their complexity can be overkill. The client has to create an account, learn the interface and go through several steps before even seeing your work.
What if there was a tool that lets the client see two versions of a design side by side, comment on them and pick the better one, without creating an account, without installing anything, for free?
The problem with existing tools
Most professional design collaboration tools require accounts from both parties. That is a barrier that eliminates a significant portion of clients in practice, especially the less technical ones.
A typical scenario looks like this: you send the client a Figma link, the client sees a login form, does not have an account, does not want to create one and writes "just send it to me by email". And we are back to PNG attachments with a comment "that blue is kind of... I don't know, too dark?".
Iterateo as an alternative
Iterateo (iterateo.com) is a free online tool designed specifically for A/B variant comparison and feedback exchange between contractor and client. Here is what sets it apart:
No client registration required
The client does not need to create an account. You click "create project", get two links: one for yourself (full access), one for the client (preview and comments). The client opens the link in a browser and sees the project immediately.
A/B comparison in one view
Both versions display side by side. The client does not need to switch between windows, download files or compare from memory. They see variant A and variant B simultaneously.
Comments and sketches
The client can leave comments on each version, attach files to comments and even draw sketches directly on images. Feedback is contextual and unambiguous.
One-click selection
The client clicks the checkmark on the preferred version and the decision is immediately visible. No more follow-up emails asking "so which version is better?".
Multiple format support
Iterateo supports images, video, PDF files and audio. It is not limited to one format, so it works for logo designs, video editing and sound projects alike.
Who is Iterateo for?
- Freelance designers looking for a simple way to exchange feedback with clients
- Small creative agencies needing a lightweight feedback tool
- UX/UI designers wanting to quickly compare variants with clients
- Photographers and videographers presenting different versions of photos or shots to clients
- Musicians and audio producers collecting opinions on mixes
