Guidelines review
A focused brand-guide platform with a free tier and paid collaboration options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Guidelines helps design studios and in-house teams create, edit, and publish online brand guides. Its searchable portal brings together logos and variants, color values, typography, and other brand files; teams can share guides publicly or restrict access. Templates and interactive publishing suit organizations that need a central reference for brand assets, rather than a broad system for governance or monitoring.
The plan structure makes the scope clear. Free costs $0 and allows one public guide, one editor, unlimited visitors, seven published pages, and basic integrations. Studio costs $15 per editor per month and adds unlimited guides and brands, unlimited pages, collaborative editing, protected guides, custom domains, and AI integrations. Enterprise is $40 per editor per month, with higher storage limits, single sign-on, version history, translations and localization, and automatic access by domain. These are monthly prices quoted in US dollars; the published plans do not give a separate annual price. Small teams can start with a public guide, while teams managing multiple brands or access controls will need Studio or Enterprise.
Guidelines connects with Figma, Sketch, Adobe, and Tailwind CSS, alongside ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor. Okta is also listed among its integrations. These connections complement the asset portal, but the product's center remains publishing and maintaining brand guides. It is a fit for teams that want searchable, shareable references and collaborative edits without a wider brand-governance remit. Teams needing version history, localization, or SSO should consider Enterprise; those looking for governance or monitoring beyond guides should choose a broader alternative. Support is listed through documentation, so teams expecting other support channels may prefer a different option.
