Designity review
Graphic design, Illustration, Web design · New York, US · Since 2016
Designity was founded in New York in 2016 and moved to a monthly subscription it calls Creative-as-a-Service in 2019. Each client gets a creative director as the single point of contact, backed by a project manager and a marketing strategist. Its FAQ says creative directors are full-time W2 employees who do not do the work themselves; vetted creatives, recruited as remote freelancers, do.
Pricing is by the hour. Plus is $5,995 a month for 120 dedicated hours, two creatives working on two projects at once and four consultation hours. Premium is $8,995 for 180 hours and three creatives. Unused hours do not roll over, and extra creatives are added by the week, from $395 for an emerging creative to $1,495 for a specialist.
Design sits beside marketing. Since 2022 the menu has included SEO, email campaigns, paid media and account-based marketing, all covered by the same monthly plans, and the site carries fourteen city pages for marketing services.
Who Designity is for
Marketing teams at larger companies, and agencies that white label creative work, that want one director to plan, brief and check quality across many formats. The price assumes a workload big enough to use 120 hours a month.
Founders comparing it with lower-cost plans should read the entry price as a monthly team cost: at $5,995, Plus sits well above most flat-fee design plans in this market.
Strengths and limits
What it does well
- Publishes both plan prices, their hours, the number of creatives on each and the price of every add-on
- Offers a two-week trial with no upfront payment that counts towards the first month if you continue
- Names a creative director, project manager and strategist on every plan, with directors employed full time by its own account
- Offers a paid pause of two weeks per quarter for $995 instead of the full plan fee
Where it falls short
- The entry plan is $5,995 a month, and paying by card raises it to $6,295 under the terms
- Its ownership rules conflict: one FAQ answer says you keep rights to trial work if you cancel, while another answer and the terms say you lose them
- The work is done by remote freelancers, and the site says both that its community is limited to the US and that its talent is based globally
- Late payment suspends the right to use delivered work, and files are deleted 60 days after a plan ends
Designity pricing
Plus is $5,995 a month and Premium $8,995, paid by ACH, wire or crypto; the terms put card payment at $6,295 and $9,250. Quarterly billing saves $1,500 a quarter and yearly billing $10,800 a year. Custom plans start from $6,000, and net 30 to net 60 payment terms add 7% to 12%.
The pause costs $995 for two weeks, once a quarter, and the terms limit it to clients of at least three months with a zero balance. Cancelling needs seven days' notice and an exit conversation with a customer success manager.
How many at once, whose files, whose hands
How many requests run at once
Publishes a cap on active requests
“the Plus plan includes two Creatives and Marketers capable of handling two projects simultaneously”
Who owns the files and the rights
Says the work and its rights are yours
“You own all copyrights! Every idea and project we create is exclusively yours, including all files, at no extra charge.”
Who does the work
Says freelancers or contractors do the work
“Work as a remote freelancer and never be worried about slow months ever again.”
This records what Designity publishes about itself, read in September 2026. It is not an assessment of what the company does in practice.
Verdict
Enterprise and agency marketing teams that want a single creative director to run a mixed team across design, video, web and campaign work are who Designity prices for. The published hours, the named team roles and a trial with no upfront payment let a buyer test the model on real work before paying.
At $5,995 a month before card fees, it is the wrong shape for a small team that needs a few graphics a week. The conflicting statements on trial ownership and on where creatives are based, and the clause that suspends use of delivered work after a late payment, are worth settling in writing first.

This is an independent review. Designity is not a client or a partner, we have no affiliate relationship with them, we earn nothing if you hire them, and nobody pays for placement in the directory. Prices were read from the company's own pages in September 2026 and change without notice.
