Services offered

SketchDeck

Full-service

As a full-service digital and creative agency, SketchDeck handles any and all clients needs, no matter the scope.

Design Pickle

Limited services

Design Pickle is not a full-service agency. They focus on graphic design, custom illustrations, presentation design, motion graphics and video editing. They don’t have full-stack digital or video production and their branding capabilities are limited.

Quality

SketchDeck

Consistent, high-quality

With SketchDeck, creative excellence is priority #1. We earn our clients’ trust by providing consistent, professional, top-quality work. We’re more than just order takers. We collaborate closely with our clients, offering advice and guidance when needed, and delivering the best possible creative and digital results every time.

Design Pickle

Inconsistent/low quality

Design Pickle isn’t known for elevated quality or big projects. Individuals and small businesses appreciate the lower pricepoint, but the low pricepoint comes with limited capabilities and lower quality work.

Pricing

SketchDeck

Flexible, custom pricing

SketchDeck works with you to find the flexible pricing plan best suited to your needs. For one-off projects you can pay as you go, only purchasing as many credits as you need. If you have ongoing, larger scale projects, SketchDeck’s membership offerings provide cost efficiencies while getting you all the creative and digital support you need.

Design Pickle

Rigid subscription pricing

Design pickle operates on a month-to-month subscription model. More expensive subscriptions get you access to more capabilities. For example, their lowest Graphics plan costs $649/month and only gets you access to graphic design and custom illustrations, without dedicated designers or onboarding support.

Design process

SketchDeck

Consistent, dedicated team

SketchDeck is committed to consistency. Depending on the scope of your project, SketchDeck customizes the right team for your needs and budget, while your trusty project manager ensures consistency throughout.

Our platform guarantees access, for you and your team, to all necessary brand files and past projects. Every project includes rigorous quality control. Our people stick around, so you can rest easy knowing your SketchDeck team will stay consistent over time.

Design Pickle

Inconsistent team

Design pickle connects clients with indpendent contractors who handle design requests one-by-one in a queue clients can prioritize. Design Pickle doesn’t provide a conssitent designer unless you pay more. You also don’t receive a project manager or quality control. Onboarding and project manamgent is self-servce with the support of some how-to videos.

Turnaround time

SketchDeck

Quick turnaround without sacrificing quality

We get it, sometimes you need things quickly. That’s why we offer three unique project speeds: express, standard, and relaxed. Express costs a bit more but guarantees delivery of your project as soon as you need it. Have time to spare? You can save with a slower project speed.

Design Pickle

No guaranteed turnaround time

Turnaround times are fast, but not guaranteed. Depending on a designers bandwidth, projects can be delayed.

Communication

SketchDeck

Maximum transparency and communication

Above all, your team is always there when you 
need them. We believe in providing the best agency experience for our clients, and transparency is central to that mission.

We offer kick-off and weekly calls for every project, our platform guarantees maximum transparency and we 
can integrate with your teams slack and email channels as needed.

Design Pickle

Limited communication

Unless you’re paying for more expensive subscription levels, your only form of communication is through the project brief. Paying more gets you access to chat features.

Number of 
requests/revisions

SketchDeck

Unlimited revisions and guaranteed timeline

We’re committed to getting your project done right. That’s why we provide as many rounds of revisions as needed, though we’re committed to getting it right the first time. If you need to update a past project, SketchDeck’s easy search function lets you find and reopen any project, any time.

Design Pickle

Unlimited revisions (no guaranteed timeline)

You can access as many revisions as you need, but each request goes back to the bottom of your queue if you don’t put it back at the top.
