Company
Why should I choose Design Shifu over other design subscription services?
Because we move fast, adapt to your workflow, and actually care. We’re not just a design team—you get a creative partner who works 6 days a week, offers a 14-day money-back guarantee, and scales with you—without the agency fluff.
What if I have multiple brands or projects?
No problem. Our platform supports unlimited brands, team members, and projects. Manage everything from a single dashboard without paying extra per brand.
Can you integrate with my workflow or tools?
Yes! We’re flexible. Whether you work in Trello, Slack, Zapier, Google Drive, Dropbox, or another tool—we can adapt to your preferred workflow to keep things smooth.
What if I’m not happy with a design?
We offer unlimited revisions, so we’ll keep refining until it’s just right. Plus, we back it with a 14-day money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied early on. Our team will proactively reach out to help you get things back on track.
Is there any contract or long-term commitment?
None. All our plans are month-to-month. Cancel, upgrade, or pause anytime—no awkward calls or lock-ins.
How fast is the turnaround time really?
Most requests are completed in 24–48 hours, depending on complexity. Need something faster? Just mark it as urgent—we’ll prioritize it when possible.
Do I get the same designer every time?
Yes, you’ll be matched with a dedicated designer based on your needs. We ensure consistency across requests so your brand identity stays sharp and cohesive.
How does the request process work?
Submit your design requests via our dashboard. Our designers pick them up and deliver the first draft within 24 hours. You can request revisions or approve the file directly. Everything is trackable in one place, with real-time email notifications.
What if I only have a few design needs each month?
We offer flexible plans—even if you only have a few requests—starting at just $199/month. You’ll still get access to a professional design team, dedicated support, and our streamlined dashboard to manage everything.
What types of designs can I request?
Social media graphics, digital ads, packaging, pitch decks, website graphics, blog visuals, email creatives, business cards—you name it. We cover 100+ design categories.
Who is Design Shifu best suited for?
We’re built for in-house marketing teams, startups, and agencies that need design support daily or weekly. If you’re juggling multiple campaigns, tired of delays, or scaling fast—this is for you.
What is Design Shifu and how is it different from hiring a freelancer or agency?
Design Shifu is an on-demand graphic design subscription service. Unlike freelancers or agencies, we offer fixed monthly pricing, unlimited requests, dedicated designers, and a 24–48 hour turnaround, 6 days a week—without the back-and-forth of proposals or scope creep.
Pricing
What if I don’t need designs for a while?
You can pause your subscription and retain all your files. It’s a great option if you work seasonally or have a gap in project needs.
What types of design work are included?
Most digital and print graphics are covered—social media, banners, ads, presentations, packaging, and more. Web or app design is available on select plans. If something’s out of scope, we’ll let you know upfront.
Do you offer long-term plans or only monthly billing?
We currently offer monthly billing. Custom quarterly or annual plans can be arranged upon request.
Are there any discounts for agencies or resellers?
Yes! Agencies with a high volume of design needs or on 3 active accounts (3AR) or more are eligible for a year-round discount. Resellers get a flat discount across all their client accounts.
Do you charge per brand or per user?
Not at all. All plans come with unlimited brands and team members, so you can collaborate freely across departments or clients.
Are there any setup fees or hidden charges?
Nope. What you see is what you pay. No onboarding fees, hidden charges, or fine-print traps.
What’s included in an unlimited plan?
You can submit as many design requests as you like. We work on them one at a time (or more, depending on your plan) and deliver within 24–48 hours. You also get unlimited revisions, a dedicated creative team, and a design dashboard.
Can I pause my subscription?
Yes, you can pause anytime. Your account remains active for 90 days without any fee. After that, there’s a small $9/month charge to retain access to your files, brand assets, and request history.
Is there a free trial available?
While we don’t offer a free trial, we do have a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied within the first two weeks, we’ll give you a full refund—no questions asked.
How much does Design Shifu cost?
