This may just be me, but 14 days seems kind of strict for the type of projects it is for and given the learning curve of all the parties involved like someone else mentioned. It could take two weeks before everyone on my team has even had the time to go over it. If there was a file or size limit, it might be more friendly.

Hi, thanks for the comment. Interesting viewpoint, we'll look at increasing it to a month, do you think that would be sufficient time to test it out?

I'm not him, but I would definitely put it to a month. As somebody who used a tool like this in a company across departments, it takes a while to get people on board that changes a process like this.

Looks really interesting. I’ll definitely consider using this. Seems great for collaboration. Idea: integrate something like this with a version control system like Git(hub)?

Hi, thanks for the comment. We do have version control for each design/image you upload. If it has the same name, you can flip between previous versions. Is that what you meant?

Small bug in the demo: When I click for a text box the scrollbar on the right of the page disappears. This causes the entire display of the page to shift right by (half of?) the scrollbar width to remain centred. It's pretty visually disorientating. Win7 x64, FF 17.0.1

Sorry, clarification: When I mouse over the textbox itself. If I click on an existing comment or click to create my own new one, it doesn't do it until I mouse over the textbox to enter text. It is only when the mouse cursor is on the textbox too, once the input is on the textbox I can move the mouse off it and the page scrollbar returns, yet I can still keep typing as it's the active input still.

Hi, thanks for the detailed feedback, we'll get that fixed.

the right product in this space is going to shake things up on price. everyone is trying to squeeze too much out of this concept. and that's why it hasn't gained near the traction with agencies as it could. its not cost effective.

Hi Michael, thanks for the comment. Interested to know your thoughts on our product, do you think we're trying to do too much?

For now we've tried to keep things simple with a limited feature set (i.e. only what you really need to get going).

But very interested to know what you think we could do better so we can improve.

pricing too high. max pricing should be about 15.00 a month but just have a limit of storage and force people to dump old stuff.

Hi Michael, thanks for the input, definitely something we'll discuss internally.

Hi, thanks for the comment. I can't quite replicate this, any chance you could email us at hi@draftapp.co ?

I tried emailing hi@draftapp.co both from gmail and my dreamhost mail and both returned to sender

Doh, sorry that should have been hello@draftapp.co

Hi, thanks for the comment. Every plan comes with a free 14 day trial for people to try it out for themselves to see how it compares to any alternatives. After that it's up to that individual to decide if the experience we've created is something they would like to continue using or not, hopefully they do :)

This may just be me, but 14 days seems kind of strict for the type of projects it is for and given the learning curve of all the parties involved like someone else mentioned. It could take two weeks before everyone on my team has even had the time to go over it. If there was a file or size limit, it might be more friendly.

Hi, just wanted to let you know we've increased the trial to 30 days.

Hi Michael, we've since simplified pricing so there are now only two options - https://www.draftapp.co/plans

For an individual there is a Solo plan at $10 per month. This gets you 5 projects, unlimited storage.

For teams there is a Team plan at $25 per month. This gets you unlimited projects, unlimited storage.

Again, thanks for the comment.

I think the site looks great. Kudos for giving the actual use case of the app with showing instead of telling. I think its a great overview of what you offer. I am curious as to why you have so many monthly price points - I would have expected 3 for simplicity (or even 1 if you were so bold) I don't have perfect clarity into the "buyers" of these servies, and maybe its as simple as them needed this level of options.
