SoCreative and Superside both solve the same problem: They replace slow video and design production cycles with a design subscription model. The difference lies in who each one is built for and how much it actually costs to get started.

SoCreative publishes its pricing publicly with credits information available upfront. Subscriptions are quarterly and there’s no annual lock-in or separate service fee. Superside requires users to book a demo just to see pricing, locks customers into a one-year minimum commitment, and adds a $1,000 monthly service fee on top of the monthly subscription fee.

In this blog, we compare SoCreative and Superside on the two dimensions that matter most when you’re signing a contract: what it actually costs, and what you actually get.

• SoCreative publishes all pricing, credit allocations, and per-credit costs on its website. Superside requires a demo just to see what it costs.

• Superside charges $1,000 per month on top of your production budget. SoCreative has no separate service fee.

What is SoCreative?

SoCreative is a subscription-based video and design production service built around a transparent, credit-based model.

You pick a quarterly plan based on how many credits you need. You can use credits for video editing, shoots, motion graphics, and design work. 

Every plan includes a centralized platform where you submit briefs, provide feedback, and receive final deliverables. Video editing work is handled by dedicated in-house editors. Shoots are fulfilled through a global network of vetted videographers and photographers, coordinated through the same platform. Most edits are delivered within 24-48 hours.

There’s no minimum annual commitment. Subscriptions are quarterly, credits roll over while your subscription is active, and you can pause for up to 90 days without losing credits.

SoCreative is built for startups, global enterprises, and every stage of growth in between.

What is Superside?

Superside is also a design and video subscription service that offers services such as full video production, AI creative and consulting, photo and video shoots.

Superside is designed for enterprise marketing teams, in-house agencies, and large brands that want a strategic creative partner rather than a pure production service. The subscription includes a monthly budget for project work plus a separate platform service fee.

All Superside subscriptions require a one-year minimum commitment.

SoCreative vs. Superside: The fees breakdown

Pricing is where the two services diverge most clearly, both in how much you pay and in how much you know before you pay.

SoCreative publishes its pricing publicly. All three plans include turnaround times from 24 hours, a dedicated project manager, global timezone coverage, unlimited users and asset storage, stock music and AI licensing, and access to the worldwide photo and video network. There’s a yearly option that saves 10% for teams that prefer annual billing, but the default is quarterly, and the commitment is quarterly too.

Superside’s pricing isn’t published on their website. To see pricing, you have to book a demo and go through a sales process.

What Superside does publish is that very subscription includes a monthly production budget plus a separate $1,000 monthly service fee. Again, the production budget itself isn’t disclosed publicly — you find out during the sales conversation and every plan requires a one-year minimum commitment.

Here’s how the two pricing structures compare side by side:

Fees	SoCreative	Superside
Pricing visibility	Yes, all plans visible on site	No, demo required to see pricing
Starting price	$4,200/quarter ($1,400/month equivalent)	Not disclosed publicly

Minimum commitment	Quarterly	One year
Credit allocation shown upfront	Yes	Not disclosed
Per-credit cost shown upfront	Yes	Not disclosed
Pause option	Yes	Not advertised
Credit rollover	Yes	Yes
Best suited for	Startups, scaling companies, global enterprises	Enterprise marketing teams and large brands

SoCreative vs Superside: Feature comparison

Here are the top feature differences (and similarities) between SoCreative and Superside:

Centralized platform 

Both services centralize briefs, feedback, revisions, and delivery in one place. SoCreative’s platform is purpose-built for production workflows which include brief, feedback, approval, delivery. Superside’s platform includes budget and project management tools with integrations for Asana and Jira.

Scheduling shoots and delivery

SoCreative manages shoots through the same platform as everything else. You book through the platform, get matched with a videographer from the global network, and receive edited content back through the same workflow. Most edits are delivered in 24-48 hours. Larger shoots and complex campaigns take longer but the timelines are confirmed upfront by the project manager. 

Superside takes two weeks time for onboarding and creative workshopping alone, which is then followed by 4 weeks of production. Video editing requires separate time of course. 

Dedicated team 

SoCreative assigns dedicated video editors and graphic designers who work with your brand over time. Shoots are handled by matched videographers from a vetted global network. 

Superside also assigns a dedicated global team for each project. 

Flexibility and scale

SoCreative is built to work for startups, scaling companies, and global enterprises. Its model is designed to change as your needs change. 

Superside’s service is optimized for enterprise-tier clients with stable, year-long production demand.

Find the best design partner for your brand

Superside is built for enterprises and it comes with opaque pricing, annual commitments, and a $1,000 monthly platform fee.

SoCreative is built for everyone, whether you have a growing startup or a global enterprise. It comes with transparent pricing on the website, zero annual lock-ins, and no separate service fee.

If you’re evaluating design subscriptions and the friction of “book a demo to see pricing” is slowing you down, SoCreative is the alternative that removes that step entirely.
