Superside review
Graphic design, Branding, Motion and video
Superside calls itself the creative team for in-house creative teams, and its pricing is built for large marketing organisations. A subscription is a monthly budget plus a fixed $1,000 software fee. Each brief is scoped and priced against that budget by a project manager before work starts.
The Flex plan starts at a $15,000 monthly budget on an annual term, and unused budget rolls over for up to three months. A Dedicated AI-Native Team, with the same people every month, starts at $30,000 a month on a 12-month term. Extra work is billed as overages or as Project Boosters from $15,000.
It says it has hired more than 800 people in 67 countries, with video and photo production hubs in Bogotá and Johannesburg. Every account gets an account manager, a project manager and a creative lead, and AI use can be switched off for the whole account.
Who Superside is for
Marketing organisations with a steady, varied creative load and a creative budget already in the six figures a year, such as a brand team running campaigns across several markets. The project plan with a cost estimate before each brief gives finance a clear view of what each piece costs.
Startups and small teams meet a $15,000 monthly floor and an annual commitment, which puts the entry point far above the flat-fee request queues sold elsewhere in the market.
Strengths and limits
What it does well
- Publishes its floor, $15,000 a month on an annual term, instead of hiding every figure behind a sales call
- Unused Flex budget rolls over for up to three months rather than expiring at month end
- Every brief gets a project plan with a cost estimate and timeline before work begins
- Covers video, motion, 3D, illustration, UI and localisation on one contract, with a named account manager, project manager and creative lead
Where it falls short
- The annual commitment and $15,000 floor rule out teams still testing whether they need outside creative at all
- Two revision rounds are standard; more are arranged depending on scope, which can draw on the budget
- The weekly sync meeting, including preparation time, is charged to the budget, per its help centre
- Its public terms cover the website only, and ownership of deliverables is not set out beyond a note that working files are delivered if applicable
Superside pricing
Two figures are published. Flex subscriptions start at a $15,000 monthly budget on an annual term, and Dedicated AI-Native Teams at $30,000 a month on a 12-month term. Both add a $1,000 monthly software fee for the Superspace platform, Brand Brain and Superads Pro. Unused Flex budget rolls over for up to three months.
Within the budget, each project is quoted separately, so the entry price buys a pool of spend rather than a set output. Overages run at your standard rate, Project Boosters start at $15,000, and a Quick Start setup costs $20,000 for three weeks.
How many at once, whose files, whose hands
How many requests run at once
Does not say how many requests run at once
We found nothing on its site or in its terms about the number of requests that can be in progress at the same time. That is recorded as silence, not as a finding against the company. Ask before the first invoice.
Who owns the files and the rights
Does not say who owns the files
We found nothing on its site or in its terms about whether you receive editable source files and when the rights pass to you. That is recorded as silence, not as a finding against the company. Ask before the first invoice.
Who does the work
Says its own people do the work
“Superside has hired 800+ elite designers, project managers, animators, copywriters, AI technologists and more”
This records what Superside publishes about itself, read in September 2026. It is not an assessment of what the company does in practice.
Verdict
Superside is shaped for an enterprise brand or marketing team that already spends heavily on agencies and wants one annual contract covering ads, video, brand and web. The per-project estimates, the three-month rollover and the named leads suit a buyer who reports creative spend to finance and needs to see where each dollar went.
Smaller buyers hit the floor first: $15,000 a month for twelve months is $180,000 of budget before the $1,000 monthly software fee. Anyone who wants a fixed menu of requests, or the freedom to cancel after a month, is shopping in a different part of the market.

This is an independent review. Superside 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.
