What Approvallo is
Approvallo is a web platform for reviewing and approving creative work, documents, and other project files. Reviewers can place precise annotations on designs, PDFs, videos, and images, then discuss them in threads, resolve comments, or react with emoji. Video review supports timestamped pins, frame markup, and versioned cuts for MP4, WEBM, and MOV files. Clients can approve work or request changes with one click, while projects retain version history and approval status. Secure links let clients review without creating an account or downloading software. Supported files include JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and SVG images, PDFs, and videos such as MP4, MOV, and AVI. Approvallo connects with Slack to share review comments and Jira to create tasks from comments or files. Its Digital Approval Seal uses SHA-256 file fingerprints and an HMAC-SHA256 integrity seal, with public verification links and tamper detection. Approvallo states that data is encrypted at rest and in transit, is SOC 2 compliant, and undergoes regular security audits. The free Starter plan allows two active projects, one team member, 500 MB of storage, and uploads up to 100 MB. Professional costs $12 a month billed annually.
