Compare · Designity vs Flocksy

Designity vs Flocksy - honestly.

Both are subscription creative services. The differences that actually matter are structural: who's actually doing the work, whether the team scales with your brand count, what add-on fees add up to, and what cancellation actually looks like.

Designity claims are sourced from Designity's public pricing page and FAQ (designity.com/pricing) as of the date this page was published. Flocksy claims are what we deliver today - check our pricing page for current plans.

TL;DR

Different team models, different math.

Designity centres on a Creative Director who directs a vetted network - including Emerging Creatives - producing the work. Flocksy assigns the same named seniors to your brand every week.

Pick Designity if

You want a single Creative Director as your partner.

One brand (or two), 1-2 people on your side, and comfort with a rotating production bench under a director. A 2-week no-card trial gets you started.

Pick Flocksy if

You want the same seniors on your brand every week.

Named designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support. Multi-brand. Whole-team access. Hours you can plan around. Cancel at the end of your billing cycle.

Side by side

The structural differences.

Nine dimensions the two subscriptions genuinely differ on. Every Designity claim is either directly on their pricing page and FAQ, or framed as a question you should ask their team.

Dimension
Designity
Flocksy
How the team is staffed

Every account gets a dedicated Creative Director, a Project Manager and a Marketing Strategist. The people doing the actual production work are drawn from a network - Designity's own FAQ describes 'Emerging Creatives' handpicked from top design universities in the U.S., mentored by the Creative Director for quality control.

One dedicated team from day one - the same senior designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support on your brand every week. Not a rotating community of emerging talent under a director.

'Unlimited requests' - what it means

Plans are marketed with unlimited requests and revisions. Ask: at my plan's dedicated hours and active-creative count (2 on Plus, 3 on Premium), how much of that can I realistically ship in a month?

We don't market 'unlimited'. Plans are 2, 4 or 6 Daily Hours - the exact capacity is on the pricing page, in hours the team works on your brand every business day.

Active brands

Plus is capped at 1 active brand. Premium is capped at 2. Additional brands are a $395/mo add-on.

No hard brand cap in the plan tiers. If your team runs several brands, the same subscription covers them.

Points of contact

Plus is 1 authorized point of contact. Premium is 2. Additional POCs are a $295/mo add-on.

No per-seat cap on who can submit briefs and feedback. Your team is your team.

Cancellation

Monthly plans are month-to-month with a 7-day notice before renewal and a required exit interview with a Customer Success Manager.

Cancel at the end of your billing cycle - in-app or over email. No exit interview. No notice-window gymnastics.

Pause option

A 2-week pause costs $995 as a one-time fee and can be used once per quarter.

If you don't need the team for a while, downgrade or cancel. Your hours already roll over for 30 days, so a slow patch doesn't need a paid pause.

Trial & guarantee

A 2-week trial with no upfront payment or credit card is offered to sample the model.

14-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions - try the actual model with real work, then decide.

Video and motion

Video and motion are listed in Designity's services and can be requested through the Creative Director. Ask exactly which formats fit inside your plan hours vs. which require an 'Expertise On Demand' add-on ($1,495/wk).

Every plan includes a dedicated video editor and motion editor from day one - short-form, long-form, reels, product demos, animated logos - all inside the same hours.

Senior direction

A Creative Director is included on every plan and is the main point of contact.

A Production Coordinator is included on 4+ Daily Hour plans and an Art Director on 6+ Daily Hour plans - senior direction that scales with the team you're paying for, not a single director spread across your whole account.

Sources: Designity's public pricing page and FAQ (designity.com/pricing) as of publication. Where the published plans don't describe a behaviour (per-format inclusion in base hours, seniority of the assigned creative), this page frames it as a question to ask their team rather than a factual claim.

Before you sign

Seven questions to ask Designity.

These are the fine-print questions a buyer usually asks in month two. Ask them in month zero and you'll pick the right service the first time - whichever one that turns out to be.

1Ask them

How senior is the person actually doing my design work?

Designity's public materials describe a mentorship model - a Creative Director from the top 1% overseeing 'Emerging Creatives' handpicked from design universities. Ask who's on the keyboard, not just who's reviewing.

2Ask them

What happens if I submit 15 briefs on Monday?

'Unlimited' is paired with a fixed number of active creatives (2 on Plus, 3 on Premium) and a dedicated-hours pool. Ask what the queue actually looks like at that volume.

3Ask them

What's included in my plan hours vs. what triggers an add-on?

The pricing page lists weekly add-ons for extra creatives ($395-$895/wk), 'Expertise On Demand' ($1,495/wk), 'Extra Brand' ($395/mo), 'Additional Point of Contact' ($295/mo), Social Media Management ($495/mo) and one-off consultation ($195). Ask what stays inside your base price at your usage.

4Ask them

How many brands can I actually run on this plan?

Plus covers 1 brand, Premium covers 2. If you or your clients run more, the '$395/mo extra brand' add-on compounds quickly. Ask for a modelled monthly number.

5Ask them

Who can submit and give feedback?

Plus is 1 POC, Premium is 2. Anyone else on your team is a view-only user. Ask about the '$295/mo additional POC' add-on if your team is more than two people.

6Ask them

What does the cancellation flow look like?

There's a 7-day notice window before renewal, and cancellations require an exit interview with a Customer Success Manager. Get that process in writing before you sign.

7Ask them

If I need to pause, what's the real cost?

The 2-week pause is a $995 one-time fee, usable once per quarter. Ask whether that's the right fit for you vs. simply moving down a tier.

Why teams switch

Six reasons buyers move to Flocksy.

1Senior hands on the work

The people making it are accountable for the craft.

Flocksy doesn't run an oversight-plus-emerging-creatives structure. Your named designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support show up on your brand every week - so the taste is consistent from first sketch to final asset.

2Hours, not 'unlimited'

We sell hours you can plan a month around.

Plans are 2, 4 or 6 Daily Hours - a specific number of hours your team works on your brand every business day. That's the whole capacity model, written on the pricing page. No hidden 'active creative' math.

3Multi-brand ready

Your brands are covered, not upsold.

Designity caps active brands at 1 (Plus) or 2 (Premium), with a $395/mo add-on beyond that. Flocksy plans don't have a hard brand cap - if you run several brands, the same subscription covers them.

4Whole-team access

Anyone on your team can brief and comment.

No 1-POC or 2-POC cap. No '$295/mo additional POC' line item. If your marketing team is three or four people, all of them can submit and give feedback.

5Cancel without ceremony

No 7-day notice. No exit interview.

Monthly plans are truly month-to-month. Cancel when you need to - the model earns the next month or it doesn't.

6Banked hours, no paid pause

Slow week? Your hours don't vanish.

Unused hours roll over into the next month for 30 days. You don't need a $995 pause fee to survive a quiet stretch - your capacity is banked, not burned. Unused hours roll into the next 30 days while your plan is active. Bank a slow week to power a launch week - just don't try to stockpile forever.

Capacity, translated

Active-creative caps vs. Daily Hours.

Designity rations output by dedicated hours plus a fixed number of active creatives, with add-ons for extra brands and extra POCs. Flocksy sizes output by how many hours the team works on your brand every business day - with multi-brand and whole-team access included.

Monthly hour estimates assume ~21 US business days per month; actual delivery flexes with the calendar.

Honest fit

Which one is actually right for you.

We'd rather send the wrong-fit buyer to Designity than sign them and lose them in month two. Here's the straight read.

Pick Designity if
  • You want a single Creative Director as your main strategic partner and don't mind a rotating community of Emerging Creatives producing the work under their direction.
  • You have one brand (or two) and a small point-of-contact team that fits inside the 1-2 POC limit.
  • You'd rather try a two-week trial with no card than a paid subscription with a money-back guarantee.
Pick Flocksy if
  • You want the same named designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support on your brand every week - not an oversight-plus-emerging-creatives model.
  • You want a transparent capacity model: a specific number of Daily Hours the team works on your brand every business day.
  • You need graphic design, video, motion and illustration inside the same subscription, without weekly 'expertise on demand' add-ons ($1,495/wk) or extra-brand fees ($395/mo).
  • You want unused hours to bank into the next month (30-day rollover) instead of a $995 paid pause when you slow down.
  • You want to cancel at cycle end without a 7-day notice window and a mandatory exit interview.

Comparison FAQ

Is Flocksy a Designity alternative?+
Yes. If you're comparing Designity to Flocksy, the structural differences are: Flocksy assigns a named senior designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support to your brand from day one (not an emerging-creatives-under-Creative-Director structure), plans don't cap the number of brands or the number of people on your team who can submit briefs, and there's no 7-day cancellation notice or exit interview.
Is Designity's 'unlimited' claim false?+
We don't make that claim - Designity's own pricing page and FAQ are the source. What they publish is: unlimited requests and revisions alongside a fixed number of active creatives per plan (2 on Plus, 3 on Premium) and a fixed pool of dedicated hours. If you're evaluating them, ask them to walk you through realistic monthly output at your tier before signing.
How is Designity's Creative Director different from a Flocksy Art Director?+
Designity's Creative Director is included on every plan and is the main strategic partner and point of contact - they brief and QA a team of vetted creatives (including 'Emerging Creatives' from top U.S. design universities). Flocksy's structure is different: a Production Coordinator is included on 4+ Daily Hour plans and an Art Director on 6+ Daily Hour plans, both dedicated to your account, and the designer / video editor / motion editor / illustrator / copywriter support doing the work are specialists assigned to your brand.
What about the extra fees on Designity?+
Their pricing page publishes add-ons including additional creatives ($395-$895/wk), Expertise On Demand ($1,495/wk), Extra Brand ($395/mo), Additional Point of Contact ($295/mo), Social Media Management ($495/mo), Meeting Representation ($195/one-off), Extra Consultation Hours ($195/one-off), In-Person Meeting ($995/one-off) and Custom Project Management ($295/mo). Model your realistic monthly bill before comparing sticker prices.
What's the cancel process?+
Flocksy: no exit call, no cancellation fee, monthly plans have no term. Designity: 7-day notice before renewal and an exit interview with a Customer Success Manager; a paid 2-week pause is available at $995 per use, once per quarter.
What about a trial or guarantee?+
Designity offers a 2-week trial with no upfront payment or credit card. Flocksy offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions - try the actual paid model with your real work and get your money back if it isn't the right fit.
Where can I see real work?+
Our work page shows recent client work across social, video, landing pages, decks and brand systems, plus 20+ named-client case studies with real numbers.
