FAQ
Why does AgencyQueue include file proofing on the $0/mo Free tier when AgencyPro gates it behind Pro?
For a subscription design agency, request queueing and deliverable proofing are the core workflow—not an enterprise add-on. AgencyQueue gives every workspace native image/PDF pinpoint comments ({x,y} up to 25 MB), external Drive/Dropbox/Frame.io/Loom proof links, and POST-guarded magic-link approvals starting at $0/mo for up to 3 active clients and 2 seats.
Do my clients have to create an account like they do in AgencyPro?
No. AgencyPro requires clients to register and log into a portal account. With AgencyQueue, clients send tasks via email and view their priority queue or approve deliverables through hashed, scanner-safe magic links with zero passwords.
How does AgencyQueue Pro ($49/mo) compare to AgencyPro Basic ($39/mo)?
For $10/mo more than AgencyPro Basic—which still lacks file proofing/approvals—AgencyQueue Pro ($49/mo flat) includes full file proofing, unlimited active clients, unlimited team and contractor seats ($0 per-seat tax), custom domain, custom SMTP, 'Powered by' badge removal, Slack notifications, webhooks, and API access.
