16 Best Superside Alternatives in 2026, by What You Used Superside For

Sixteen Superside alternatives checked against their own pricing pages in September 2026, sorted by what you used Superside for: a full creative department, design volume, product and web work, video, or one senior designer.

Grid of sixteen homepage screenshots of Superside alternatives

Superside publishes its floor: $15,000 a month plus a $1,000 monthly software fee on a twelve-month prepaid term, which is roughly $192,000 for the first year. That number, and the annual commitment behind it, is why most people search this phrase. Almost every alternative below runs month to month and publishes its prices, so you can compare them without a sales call. The catch: they are not all the same thing, and the mistake I watch teams make is replacing an enterprise creative department with a design queue, then wondering where the judgement went.

I co-founded Moonb, which is the first entry below, so read the whole page with that in mind. Every price, term and review figure was read on the company’s own site or its Trustpilot or Clutch profile on 2 September 2026, and where a company does not publish something I write “not publicly stated.” The one exception is Fourth Floor, whose figures I carried over from my July check and say so.

If you only want the short version:

  • Same model as Superside, no annual term: Moonb, Designity ($5,995 a month) and Teamtown (from $3,000), all led by a creative director or lead, all month to month.
  • Design volume at a published price: Penji ($995), ManyPixels ($699), Kimp ($1,397), No Limit Creatives (from $500), DotYeti ($995), Delesign ($649), Flocksy ($1,699 monthly), Duck.design ($1,199), Awesomic ($1,490).
  • Product and web work: Fourth Floor and Growmodo.
  • Video first: Vidico, with monthly plans from $5,000.
  • One senior designer: Designjoy at $4,995.

Sort by what you actually used Superside for

Almost nobody used all of Superside. Its offer spans ad creative, video, motion, design systems, brand, presentations and AI production, and the alternatives split that into pieces.

  • A full creative department with a director in charge points to Moonb, Designity or Teamtown. The relationship compounds; the price sits in the middle.
  • Design volume points to the queues and slot plans, most of them at a tenth of Superside’s price. They do the workload; they do not do the direction.
  • Product or web design points to Fourth Floor and Growmodo, which beat generalists at it.
  • Video points to Vidico, or back to the directed teams, because most design services gate video to an upper tier or exclude it.

The 16 best Superside alternatives

1. Moonb

Moonb homepage screenshot

This is us. Moonb is a dedicated creative team for marketing teams: video, motion and design from one group led by a Creative Director, on an ongoing monthly basis. It is the closest thing on this list to what Superside sells, without the annual term, and with the weight on video and motion rather than on a platform.

  • Best for: marketing teams that used Superside as a creative department and want the same shape without a year’s commitment
  • Pricing: not published; a set monthly cost or a per-project quote
  • Clients they name: Dell, Toyota, Nestle
  • Contract: monthly
  • Video and motion: core
More on Moonb
Where it shines: a Creative Director who owns your brand, the same team month after month, and video, motion and design from one place.
Where it falls short: no published price and no self-serve sign-up; if you only need a design queue, the services below will serve you for less.

Not publicly stated: pricing.

2. Designity

Designity homepage screenshot

Designity is the published-price version of the directed model: a dedicated Creative Director as your single point of contact, plans sized in dedicated hours, month to month, with a two-week trial and no upfront payment.

  • Best for: teams that want a Creative Director without an enterprise contract, at about $50 per dedicated hour
  • Pricing: Plus $5,995 a month for 120 hours, Premium $8,995 for 180, Custom from $6,000
  • Clients they name: Calendly, Audible, Oracle, Tricoci
  • Contract: month to month, seven days’ notice; pause for $995 for two weeks a quarter
  • Video and motion: marketed; not itemised on the pricing page
More on Designity
Where it shines: the only published-price Creative Director model on the list, US-hours availability, a 4.5 on Trustpilot from 111 reviews and a 4.8 on Clutch.
Where it falls short: hours are the ceiling, and a video-heavy month burns through 120 of them fast.

Not publicly stated: hour rollover. My colleague's Superside vs Designity comparison goes line by line.

3. Teamtown

Teamtown homepage screenshot

Teamtown sells a dedicated creative team with a project manager and a creative lead on every plan, and a fractional Creative Director with quarterly roadmaps on its Studio tier. It is the managed-team option between the queue price and the enterprise price.

  • Best for: marketing teams that want a managed team with a creative lead from $3,000 a month
  • Pricing: Essentials from $3,000, Pro from $4,500, Studio from $9,900 with hour packs to $19,680 for 240 hours
  • Clients they name: Staples, Shoppers Drug Mart, Evian, BuildOps
  • Contract: 15 days’ notice to pause or cancel; 15-day money-back guarantee
  • Video and motion: simple video on Essentials; complex video, motion and 3D from Pro
More on Teamtown
Where it shines: a creative lead on every plan, unused hours that roll over a month, and a published ladder up to a fractional Creative Director.
Where it falls short: its current Essentials starts at $3,000, above the entry figure some 2026 third-party write-ups quote, and the Trustpilot base (4.6 from 18) has had no new reviews in a year.

Not publicly stated: headquarters, team size.

4. Penji

Penji homepage screenshot

Penji is the deepest-reviewed design queue in the market, with three tiers from a matched designer with a project manager to a locked-in senior pod, no contracts, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

  • Best for: design volume with a refund window instead of a sales call
  • Pricing: Essentials $995 a month, Agency Partner $1,995, Dedicated Team from $4,500
  • Clients they name: people at Uber, Coinbase, CVS and Forbes in testimonials
  • Contract: none; cancel any time

More on Penji
Where it shines: a 4.8 on Trustpilot from 392 reviews, full-time staff in 20-plus countries, and a fifteenth of Superside's entry price.
Where it falls short: no Creative Director, a designer who is only guaranteed on the top tier, and no video at $995.

Not publicly stated: a pause option, support hours. Full detail in the Penji pricing guide.

5. ManyPixels

ManyPixels homepage screenshot

ManyPixels publishes every rate for every billing cycle, transfers full copyright on every plan, and lets you pause for $10 a month. Output-based plans sit below a named part-time designer.

  • Best for: repeatable design at the lowest credible price with files you own outright
  • Pricing: $699, $1,199, $1,399 and $2,599 a month; down to $559 to $2,079 on yearly billing
  • Clients they name: Fujifilm, WKS Restaurant, Cart.com
  • Contract: none; pause for $10
  • Video and motion: motion graphics and video editing listed
More on ManyPixels
Where it shines: the clearest pricing page in the category, a 4.8 on Trustpilot from 149 reviews and a 5.0 on Clutch.
Where it falls short: no creative director, and the named-designer plans run only in US Eastern, EU and Indochina hours.

Not publicly stated: a trial, designer countries. See the ManyPixels pricing guide.

6. Kimp

Kimp homepage screenshot

Kimp sells graphics and video plans separately or combined, with a fixed team of one project manager and three designers per client and a published production cadence of roughly two to two and a half hours a day.

  • Best for: graphics and short video from one plan, with a seven-day trial
  • Pricing: Graphics $1,397 a month, Video $1,397, both $1,697; a 50 percent promotion on the first four months was running

More on Kimp
Where it shines: a 4.9 on Trustpilot from 353 reviews, full-time staff, and one short animation every 24 hours on the video plan.
Where it falls short: a project manager rather than a creative director, and an entry price far above the figure older third-party reviews quote.

Not publicly stated: annual prices. The Kimp pricing guide has the capacity maths.

7. No Limit Creatives

No Limit Creatives homepage screenshot

No Limit Creatives prices by active slots and support level, and its Fully Managed plans add what most queues lack: a dedicated Creative Director and project manager, from $900 a month.

More on No Limit Creatives
Where it shines: a 4.9 on Trustpilot from 261 reviews and named creative direction at a price no other queue matches.
Where it falls short: no trial, no refunds, Eastern hours only, and the entry plans leave you as the creative director.

8. DotYeti

DotYeti homepage screenshot

DotYeti’s four tiers add people as they climb: a dedicated art director at Scale, an account manager plus motion, video editing and web at Summit, and strategy, 3D and AI video at Apex Studio, with a 14-day money-back guarantee on every monthly plan.

  • Best for: a named designer with video from $849 a month
  • Pricing: Marketer Growth $649 a month; Agency Booster $849 with video editing, animation and motion

10. Flocksy

Flocksy homepage screenshot

Flocksy assigns the same designer, video editor, motion editor and illustrator to your account permanently and sells daily hours, with a Production Coordinator from four hours and an Art Director from six.

  • Pricing: two daily hours at $1,699 a month or $1,199 on annual billing, up to eight hours at $5,899 or $3,799
  • Clients they name: Tito’s, American Airlines, Liquid Death, Forbes, Yamaha, State Farm
  • Contract: none; 14-day money-back guarantee

More on Flocksy
Where it shines: the closest thing to Superside's design-plus-video breadth at a tenth of the price.
Where it falls short: headline prices are annual, senior direction only arrives at six daily hours, and Clutch shows no reviews.

Not publicly stated: headquarters, a pause policy.

11. Duck.design

Duck.design homepage screenshot

Duck.design, in London, puts an Art Director, a mid-to-senior designer and a Project Manager on every plan, which makes its entry tier the lowest-priced art-directed option on the list.

12. Awesomic

Awesomic homepage screenshot

Awesomic matches you with a vetted designer within 24 hours and lets you rematch at no cost, with a bench that extends to no-code, development and marketing on its all-in-one plan.

More on Awesomic

Not publicly stated: a trial or refund, talent locations.

13. Fourth Floor

Fourth Floor homepage screenshot

Fourth Floor is a product-design studio with a partner plan, closer to hiring a senior product design team than to a service. I did not re-check its pages in this pass; the figures below are from my July 2026 check.

  • Best for: SaaS and product companies that need real product design rather than marketing assets
  • Pricing: fixed projects from $15,000, or a partner plan at $5,000 to $10,000 a month for 60 hours, as published in July 2026
  • Clients they name: Fox Sports, Crescent, Understory
  • Contract: pause or cancel any time
  • Video and motion: not offered
More on Fourth Floor
Where it shines: senior product-design craft in a flexible arrangement, which no generalist queue matches.
Where it falls short: premium pricing and a product focus make it the wrong pick for marketing volume, and I have not verified its current terms.

Not publicly stated: review scores on Trustpilot or Clutch in my July check.

14. Growmodo

Growmodo homepage screenshot

Growmodo pairs design with development from a matched pool of senior specialists behind a dedicated project manager, white label by default, with the price set on a “scaling audit” call. It is a GmbH based in Leverkusen, Germany.

  • Best for: agencies at capacity that need design and development under their own brand
  • Pricing: not publicly stated; nothing charged until onboarding is complete
  • Clients they name: Digital Ash Agency, VH3 Digital, SKB Digital
  • Contract: scale up and down any time
  • Video and motion: video editors and motion designers on the roster
More on Growmodo
Where it shines: real development beside design, 151 catalogued project types, and a 4.8 on Trustpilot from 86 reviews.
Where it falls short: no public price, an agency-only pitch, and a German contracting entity to factor in for a US team.

Not publicly stated: plans, prices, revision terms.

15. Vidico

Vidico homepage screenshot

Vidico is the video-first alternative: a creative production team for tech brands, headquartered in Melbourne with a New York office, that sells both projects and monthly plans with unused budget rolling over, and publishes its ranges.

  • Best for: teams that used Superside mostly for video and want a studio built around it
  • Pricing: monthly plans from $5,000; explainers from $5,000 for simple 2D to $20,000 and up for 3D or live action
  • Clients they name: Spotify, Square, Zendesk, Klaviyo, Uber, Airtable
  • Contract: projects, or a monthly plan
  • Video and motion: core
More on Vidico
Where it shines: a consistently premium finish on launch films, a 4.9 on Clutch from 58 reviews, and published price ranges.
Where it falls short: not built for broad static design, and the US presence is one New York office.

Not publicly stated: plan tiers above the $5,000 floor.

16. Designjoy

Designjoy homepage screenshot

Designjoy is one designer, its founder Brett, in Phoenix, one request at a time, and the opposite of Superside in every way except price band.

  • Best for: founders who want one senior hand on product, web and brand work
  • Pricing: $4,995 a month, shown against $5,995
  • Clients they name: Buy Me A Coffee, Switchboard, Nectar Sleep
  • Contract: pause or cancel any time on 31-day cycles; 75 percent back in the first week
  • Video and motion: not offered
More on Designjoy
Where it shines: consistency and taste from a single hand, and Webflow builds treated as ordinary requests.
Where it falls short: one active request, no video or motion, and only two Trustpilot reviews, both from 2023.

Not publicly stated: working hours, response targets.

How I would choose a replacement

Start from what you actually used Superside for, because almost nobody used all of it.

  • If you used it as a full creative department, the fair comparison set is Moonb, Designity and Teamtown: teams with direction built in, where the relationship compounds. Decide whether video matters, because that cuts the list fast.
  • If you used it for design volume, Penji, ManyPixels, Kimp, NLC, DotYeti, Delesign, Flocksy, Duck.design and Awesomic do the workload at published prices that undercut Superside by an order of magnitude. Compare their tiers against your real monthly request count, not their marketing pages.
  • If you used it for product or web work, Fourth Floor and Growmodo are the two built for that.
  • Check the exit before the entrance. Superside’s twelve-month prepaid term is much of why people search this phrase. Every service above except Awesomic’s quarterly plan runs month to month; hold them to it in the paperwork.
  • Ask who exactly does the work. A pool model assigns whoever is free that day. A dedicated model gives you the same person each time. A directed model gives you a team with someone senior making the calls. Price climbs with that, and so does consistency.

For a reset on what you are actually buying when you pay for creative judgement, watch Netflix’s Abstract episode on Christoph Niemann, which the company put on YouTube in full. It is the clearest portrait I know of the thing no volume machine produces: a person with taste making a hundred small decisions until the work looks inevitable.

Mistakes I keep watching teams make

  1. Replacing the contract but keeping the mismatch. If Superside felt anonymous, moving to another large pool recreates the problem at a new logo. The fix was never the vendor’s size; it was the missing relationship.
  2. Buying volume pricing for judgement work. A rebrand, a launch campaign, a product story: these fail inside request queues built for banners. Match the stakes to the model.
  3. Ignoring published-price services out of enterprise habit. Penji at $995 and Designity at $5,995 publish their numbers; procurement teams used to sales-gated pricing often never look. A company that posts its prices is one you can budget against before the first call.
  4. Forgetting the video lane. Superside covered design and video together. Most alternatives gate video to an upper tier or exclude it. If you split vendors, plan for the coordination cost, or pick a team that carries both, the way a combined video and design service does. My colleague’s Superside pricing guide works through what the $15,000 floor buys before you decide to leave it.

Frequently asked questions

Moonb and Designity both put a Creative Director in charge of a team that stays with your brand, and Teamtown adds a creative lead on every plan. All three run month to month where Superside asks for a prepaid year, so the shape is the same and the commitment is not.

Superside's published floor works out to roughly $192,000 for the first year. Designity's Plus plan is about $72,000 a year, Teamtown's Essentials about $36,000, and a design queue such as Penji or ManyPixels runs $8,000 to $12,000. The gap is real, but so is the difference in what you get; compare within the same model before comparing across models.

Its pricing page states a 12-month term and does not publish cancellation terms, so the contract you signed is the only reliable answer. Most alternatives on this list can be started month to month, so the practical plan is to run a paid pilot with the replacement in the last quarter of your term and switch at renewal rather than mid-contract.
