Practical guide · Self-hosted B2B software
Design approval without an expensive review subscription
Is a focused approval tool enough for small agencies instead of a large review platform?
The actual decision
Document client approvals clearly
Teams that review only a few deliverables per month often do not need a platform with user tiers and recurring fees. ReviewLink provides the core process as a small self-hosted application.
When it fits
A focused tool is useful when…
- You collect a small number of important approvals each month.
- A one-time price fits your volume better.
- Comments and status should remain on your own server.
- Your client needs a very simple decision page.
What the workflow looks like
one unambiguous decision on the correct version instead of vague approvals in chat.
Share one exact project version, collect comments and document approval or change requests clearly.
- Install: Upload the PHP application to your HTTPS hosting and run the guided setup.
- Configure: Set your company name, branding and the options needed for this workflow.
- Use: Share the generated link and keep the result in your own installation.
Honest limits
ReviewLink is intentionally not a large platform.
A small tool is only a good purchase if its boundaries match the task.
- You need frame-accurate video annotation.
- Very large creative teams need complex roles and workflows.
- You expect unlimited cloud storage.
