Approval is the outcome
MarkApprove is not trying to be a broad media review board. The workflow is built to move a deliverable from review to client approval to invoice readiness.
Comparison guide
MarkApprove is for the moment client feedback becomes invoice-ready approval.
Visual review tools help people point at changes. Project boards help teams manage work. Invoice apps help collect payment. MarkApprove connects the handoff between deliverable review, client approval records, and invoice readiness.
Why freelancers choose it
Less review sprawl. More business clarity.
The value is not more buttons. It is knowing which deliverable is waiting on the client, which revision requests are still open, which version was approved, and which milestone can move to billing.
Milestones keep scope visible
Freelancers can separate logo concepts, homepage mockups, and brand guides into their own review links, approval records, amounts, and invoice statuses.
Clients see less software
The client page stays calm: review the deliverable, request revisions, reply in context, or approve the milestone. No team workspace required.
Records connect to revenue
Approval records include the milestone, version, approver, timestamp, approval wording, unresolved requests, amount, and invoice state.

Focused by design
Simple on purpose.
MarkApprove is intentionally focused on freelancer approval workflows, not enterprise routing.
MarkApprove supports visual deliverable reviews with approval records designed around milestone signoff.
MarkApprove connects approved milestones to external invoice links, so freelancers can keep using their existing invoicing or payment tool. No third-party endorsement or integration is implied unless stated.
Try the approval workflow your client will actually understand.
Create a milestone, upload a visual deliverable, send a shareable review link with optional access controls, collect revision requests, and capture the approval record that helps you decide what is ready for your invoicing workflow.
