A closer look
Built for creative speed, not compliance.
Filestage leans toward corporate approval routing, and that weight shows up in the interface. Dusken stays on the craft: frame-pinned comments, pixel diff, and synced version scrubbing. You get the precision without the seat math or the approval-stage setup you don't need.
