Chose Frontify
Frontify's pricing is much more competitive.
Chose Frontify
OpenBrand.com is not quite as visually appealing as Frontify, but it would be worth investigating if you are looking for brand management. I frequently use them in combination with each other and have a more appealing pricing structure.
Chose Frontify
I'm not sure of other software that is too similar Frontify. We chose Frontify because of prior usage at other organizations. Frontify is easy to use and allows for the central management of brand assets and guidelines.

Likelihood to Recommend
Simple and straightforward to understand, usable without much introduction, even for users without much prior knowledge. Helps us enormously, the image database saves us so much time and nerves. Before, we always had to search for a picture for a very long time, now it's super fast thanks to keywords.

Cons
  • I believe having an agency option would be great so that one could manage and build multiple brands for multiple clients.

We've invested time building our own hosted interface, and recently begun exploring Figma for design system management too. The benefit of Frontify is it's easy public access. The downfall is integration with other systems required in the UX, Design, Product Management, and Development processes - something Figma supports well.

Return on Investment
  • For a highly visual brand with a small team, I believe the time saved and the tools offered would make the plus plan attractive. I do not know that I would recommend the larger plans to my clients.
