# Brandbeet vs Superside: Superside Alternative for Dedicated Design Teams Source URL: https://brandbeet.com/brandbeet-vs-superside.md Canonical URL: https://brandbeet.com/brandbeet-vs-superside.md Last updated: 2026-07-02 Eyebrow: Superside alternative ## You won't be one of 500 brands here. You'll be one of ours. Superside is a venture-backed creative platform built to serve hundreds of brands at once. Brandbeet is the opposite, on purpose. Brandbeet is independent and intentionally small, so every client gets a dedicated senior team that learns the business, goes deep and sticks around for years. It is studio craft with production scale from people who treat your brand like it is their own. Brandbeet plans start at $6,000/month.

If you are a large enterprise that needs a software platform to run creative operations, global coverage and the reassurance of a large vendor, Superside can be a strong choice. They are built for scale, and they do scale well. But scale has a cost, and it is not only the invoice or platform fees. When a partner serves hundreds of brands and is built around platform growth, you can become one account among many. Brandbeet was built to be the opposite. We are independent, so we answer to our clients. We stay small on purpose, operating a tight client roster so the team knows each brand inside out. Our strategy is retention, which means we only succeed when clients stay. Our clients stay for years. ## Independent, So Every Decision Is Yours ### We answer to you, not a boardroom. No investors pushing for more accounts and faster growth. We make the call that is right for your brand. ### We stay small on purpose. We do not want hundreds of clients. When we take you on, you matter to us, and you are not a number on a profit and loss statement. ### Retention is our whole strategy. We win when you stay, so we are wired to keep earning it. Our average client has been with us for more than two years. ### You get a real relationship. We end up being friends with most of our clients. That is genuinely the kind of work, and the kind of client, we want. ## A Real Team That Knows Your Brand, Not a Rotating Queue ### A dedicated team on every plan. No matter the size of the plan, you always have a project manager, a design lead and a designer assigned to you. Brandbeet scales the number of designers as your needs grow. ### Designers who go deep. Each Brandbeet designer usually works on only one or two accounts, so they truly learn the brand. We would rather go deeper than spread thin. ### Senior judgment, not order taking. Brandbeet is senior enough to tell you what we think and what you should work on, not just take a brief and execute. ## We Make Sure You Get Every Hour You Pay For Brandbeet is self-initiating. If a week is quiet on your side, your hours do not vanish. We proactively suggest work, build a backlog of high-value ideas and keep moving so the retainer pays off. You get production capacity, but more importantly you get strategic judgment about what is worth doing next. ## Built for the People Who Own the Brand ### For the CMO You need more creative across more channels, but headcount is slow and agencies can blow the budget. Brandbeet is a senior team that scales output with demand across brand, web and marketing design. We proactively suggest the work that moves your numbers. ### For the Founder Your brand and site need to look the part for customers and investors, but you have no in-house design team and no time to manage freelancers. Brandbeet owns the brand with you and gets it right, like a co-founder for design. ### For the Creative Director or Head of Design Your team is buried in production and rarely gets to the highest-value work. Brandbeet works as an extension of your team, going deep on your brand and absorbing the volume so your in-house talent can focus on what matters most. ## Brandbeet vs Superside vs Agencies vs Freelancers | Category | Brandbeet | Superside | Traditional agency | Freelancers | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Best for | Brands that want a long-term partner | Enterprises that want a platform at scale | Big-budget one-off projects | One-off tasks | | Ownership | Independent, decisions made for clients | Venture-backed platform built for scale | Varies | Independent | | Your team | Dedicated PM, design lead and designer on every plan | Managed through platform and assigned team model | Varies | Usually one person | | Designers per account | Usually 1 to 2 accounts per designer, so they go deep | Shared across many platform briefs | Varies | One person | | Number of clients | Intentionally few | Superside publicly says it is trusted by 500+ of the world's biggest brands | Many | Varies | | Average client tenure | More than 2 years | Not publicly stated | Varies | Varies | | Proactive strategy | Brandbeet suggests work and builds your backlog | Primarily brief-driven creative operations | Varies | Usually no | | Studio craft and production rollout | Yes | Yes | Studio often, rollout varies | Varies | | Marketing design: decks, social, email, ads | Yes | Yes | Varies | Varies | | Weekly call, PM space, shared Slack, designer access | Yes | Platform and PM-led workflow | Varies | Usually no | | Starting price | From $6,000/month | Public pricing describes a monthly budget plus a $1,000 service fee; buyers should confirm current minimums directly | Often high project fees | Variable | ## A Real Team, Not a Ticket Queue ### Weekly call Every client gets a weekly call with the dedicated team to align on priorities and review work. ### Dedicated project space Every request is briefed, tracked and managed in one place. ### Shared Slack channel Clients talk directly to the people doing the work. ### Real-time updates You always know where things stand. ## Start With a Dedicated Team, Scale as You Grow Every Brandbeet plan starts at $6,000/month and includes a dedicated project manager, design lead and designer.

Brandbeet supports pitch decks, social, email, ad creative, brochures and more, alongside brand, product and web design. ### What if I do not have enough work to fill the hours?
