99Designs Alternative: ManyPixels👇
99Designs is a flexible solution for simple projects and concepts, but ManyPixels provides a long-term solution for high-quality branded design.
Quality of the design team
99designs is one of the world’s largest design marketplaces, attracting designers with a wide range of experience levels. While strong designers are available, quality can vary, and the outcome depends heavily on who chooses to participate in your project.
Daily workload of each designer
There is no fixed turnaround time. Response speed and delivery depend on individual designers’ availability, time zones, and workload, which can make timelines unpredictable.
Choice of designer
You can select designers or invite favorites to collaborate, but availability isn’t guaranteed. Designers may be busy, unavailable, or choose not to participate in future projects.
Services offered
Strong coverage for graphic design needs such as logos, branding, and illustrations.
Pricing
99 Designs offers two pricing options: hiring individual designers (with variable pricing) or running fixed-price design contests.
Costs vary by designer and project type, and pricing can change from one project to the next, making long-term budgeting harder.
Example of design contests:
Logo and brand guide - from $429
Web design - from $599
Illustrations - from $349
Quality of the design team
We keep our team small, with many designers having 3–7 years of tenure. Each designer is carefully vetted and selected for long-term fit, allowing us to prioritize quality and consistency over volume.
Daily workload of each designer
ManyPixels provides reliable, predictable turnaround, with meaningful progress delivered every business day, year-round.
Choice of designer
A primary designer will lead your projects, with additional designers available from our multi-disciplinary team as needed.
With higher-tier plans, you can choose your own part-time designer and collaborate in real-time.
Services offered
ManyPixels covers a wide range of design needs, including branding, web design, illustrations, motion graphics, presentations, and more.
Pricing
Fixed monthly pricing with all-inclusive plans. Clear scope, predictable costs, and easy scaling up or down as your needs change. Base plans start at $699/mo
