kloudboard vsProofHub
if your team lives in proofs, chats, and approvals all day, the question isn't whether proofhub works — it's whether it does enough. here's an honest look at kloudboard vs proofhub for creative teams.
Start free — no card required
IncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedFree forever for 5ProofHub's proofing covers images, PDFs, and documents with markup — video proofing is limited, so videoReview is partial. File storage is capped (15GB/100GB) and tied to projects rather than a standalone Drive.
Start free, scale when you're ready
ProofHub has no free tier — just a 14-day trial, after which the cheapest plan is $45/month billed annually for 40 projects and 15GB. kloudboard is free forever for up to 5 members, 3 projects, 10GB, and 1,000 AI credits a month, with free guests on top. Small studios and solo creators can run real client work without paying a cent until they outgrow it.
Frame-accurate video review, not just image markup
ProofHub's proofing is built for JPEG, PNG, PDF and documents — its own help docs and reviews note video proofing is limited. If you cut video, that's a real gap. kloudboard does frame-accurate review with timestamped comments and draw-on-frame annotation for both video and images, and your client reviewers don't need an account.
Pay your freelancers without leaving the workspace
ProofHub manages the work but stops at the invoice — there's no way to actually send money to a contractor inside it. kloudboard has built-in payouts via Dots (PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, ACH, Payoneer, crypto, and international bank), at roughly a flat $1 plus a small percentage, so the brief, the approval, and the payment all live in one place.
An AI assistant that's included, not absent
ProofHub ships with no built-in AI in 2026. kloudboard includes Kloudie, an assistant powered by Claude Haiku 4.5, metered by credits — 1,000/month on the free plan and an extra 10,000 per seat on Pro — so summarizing threads, drafting updates, and triaging cards happens in-app at no add-on cost.
See how your content actually performs
ProofHub has no social analytics — it ends at delivery. kloudboard connects YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook so the team that made the content can see how it lands, all in the same workspace where the work happened.
Bring your messaging in without abandoning it
Both tools have real-time built-in chat. kloudboard goes further with chat bridging for Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp into one unified inbox, plus one-click Trello board import to move your existing work over — so you don't have to force the whole team off the apps they already use.

- Frame-accurate video review with timestamped comments and draw-on-frame annotation

- Chat bridging for Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp into one unified inbox
Honest pricing
kloudboard
Free forever for up to 5 members, 3 projects, 10GB and unlimited free guests. Pro is a flat $20/member/mo ($180/yr) — video review, freelancer payments, and a free AI assistant all included.
ProofHub
ProofHub uses flat, per-seat-free pricing with no free plan (just a 14-day trial): Essential is $45/member-free... $45/month billed annually ($50 monthly) with 40 projects and 15GB storage, and Ultimate Control is $89/month annually for the first three months then $135/month ($99→$150 monthly) with unlimited projects and 100GB.
ProofHub wins on flat-rate pricing for big teams
ProofHub charges one flat fee for unlimited users — $45/month annually on Essential covers a team of 5 or 50 the same. If you have a large internal team and don't need video review, payments, or social analytics, that flat rate can be far cheaper than kloudboard's $20/member/month Pro plan once you pass a dozen or so paid seats. For headcount-heavy ops teams, ProofHub's pricing model is genuinely the better deal.
