Gain

Content approval software for marketing teams and agencies.

Visit Gain

Gain is content approval software for marketing teams and agencies, bringing social posts, files, documents, and web pages into a single review flow. Each content item carries a time-stamped activity and approval record showing who approved what and when, with comments, change requests, and sign-offs attached directly to the content rather than compiled separately.

Workflows route content through multiple rounds and reviewers in a set order, with automatic reminders and one-click approve or request changes via magic links that require no account. Content types include social posts for 9 platforms, files such as PDFs, videos, and design formats, documents drafted in Gain, and URL embeds for live web pages. Imports come from Canva, Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive. An image editor and an AI writing assistant are available on every plan. Approved social posts auto-schedule and publish, and an approval lock gates publishing on the workflow. Workspaces separate clients and brands, with white labeling available on Agency plans.

Gain suits agencies, in-house marketing teams, and organizations managing multiple clients, brands, or locations where sign-off is required before content goes live. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card. Plans are priced flat and scale by the clients and brands managed rather than by seats, with annual billing offered at a discount. Reviewers and stakeholders are free and unlimited on every plan.
