First of all, this looks very nice and I have nothing bad to say about this particular product at all.

But I can't help but wonder why there are so many apps like this. Off the top of my head there's Notable, LayerVault, Shipment, Cage, Marqueed, Moqups, the recently released Flatsie, and a ton of others that all offer some variation of the "show your work to clients" theme.

I'm really curious what pushed you to release your own version of this. Does Draft do something that, say, Notable doesn't? Or do you think the market for this is so big that it can comfortably support one more similar app?

Thanks for the comment, I'm Chris (designer on Draft).

So there were a couple of reasons for doing this but the main one was scratching my own itch (so to speak). I was getting tired of emails back & forth with clients for feedback and although I had tried some alternatives, including some of the ones you mentioned, I never found one that fit my particular workflow.

I guess we'll see about the market size and if there is room for this or not :)

Small thing:

"If you cancel & there is more than 7 days of the month left you won’t be charged at all. However if there is less than 7 days of the month left, you will be charged for the entire month."

should be "...there ARE..." in both cases.

Thanks for the heads up, changing that now.
Thing is, there's probably a large market even outside just web freelancers with plenty of space.
I agree. This will be extremely useful for printing companies, and graphic designers. They go through tons of back and worth with clients who wants "letter A to be moved 1 centimeter to the left."
