Description

Animake is an all-in-one animation production management platform that consolidates five tools into one. Instead of paying $85–120/user/month across ShotGrid, SyncSketch, Google Drive, Miro, and Slack, studios get asset management, synced video review, file storage, whiteboarding, and production-aware chat starting at $7.99/seat/month. Built for 2D and 3D animation teams. Month-to-month pricing, no annual contracts.

Description

Optivation brings the five jobs agencies run every week into one workspace: forms, databases, pages, time tracking and invoicing. You run the whole client lifecycle in one system, working from the same data at every step, not across five separate tools. When a client fills in your intake form, their answers land straight in your database as a record. Each record opens into a full page, where the notes, files and sub-tasks for that client sit alongside a built-in timer. The hours you log there go onto an invoice generated from that same record, so the work and the billing stay in one place from first contact to payment. The same records show up however you need them: a table for scanning, a board for tracking progress, a calendar for deadlines. Clients can book time with you through a booking page in the same workspace, and pages can be shared with a client when they need to see where things are at. AI Advisor opens against any record and draws out a summary and the action items, so a long brief turns into a list you can work from. Optivation is made for independent consultants and small agency studios who bill hourly or on retainer. You can start on the free plan and move up when you need to. Solo is $19 a month. Studio is $49 a month and covers up to 3 seats, with each extra seat at $19 a month. Paid plans include a 30-day free trial, so you can set up a real client and run it end to end before you decide.
