Pastel review
A flexible proofing workspace for website, video, and creative-asset reviews.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pastel is a browser-based visual feedback and QA platform for agencies, freelancers, designers, developers, project managers, and marketing teams. It creates review canvases from live websites and uploaded images, PDFs, videos, and emails, then brings comments, approvals, change requests, and status tracking into one workflow. Guest reviewers can participate without accounts, while teams can use responsive website testing, timestamped video comments, version history, deadlines, and reminders for client reviews or internal QA.
Pricing covers a free entry point and progressively broader collaboration features. The Free plan is $0 per month and includes in-line file attachments, CSV export, comment labels, comment assignment, and approvals. Pro costs $35 per month or $350 per year and adds 100GB of video storage. Team costs $119 per month or $1,190 per year, adding webhook export and project-management-tool integrations. Enterprise costs $450 per month or $5,400 per year and adds a SOC 2 report, SAML single sign-on, and a dedicated account representative. The published starting price is $29 per month with annual billing, while the listed annual plan totals provide the yearly amounts.
Pastel fits teams that need contextual feedback across websites and creative files without requiring every reviewer to maintain an account. Its ecosystem includes Trello, Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, Zapier, CSV, custom webhooks, and an API, with web, API, and Chrome extension access. The main dividing line is plan level: the Free plan supports core proofing, but integrations and webhook export are reserved for Team, while enterprise controls appear only on Enterprise. Choose Pastel for mixed website and creative review with approvals and versioned feedback; teams focused on broader collaboration integrations or enterprise access controls should evaluate the higher tiers before committing.
