“Build is live on staging 🚀”
Built for businesses that work with developers
Approvalane starts with the working relationship at the center of V1: the owner directing the project and the developer delivering the work.
For business owners
Create the workspace, invite your developers and see what needs your decision.
For invited developers
Join through the owner's invitation and focus on the projects assigned to you.
Access starts with a workspace invitation.
V2 is planned to expand the same accountable workflow to agencies managing clients, teams and white-label client portals.
The goal is one clear chain of work: agency to client, client to developer, and every delivery to an approval.
Explore the product roadmapOwners and developers launch on V1. Agencies and clients follow on the V2 roadmap—with the same connected modules, role-specific invitations and branded portal experience across every relationship.
Available in V1
Launching nowOwners direct every engagement from one command centre, invite developers into branded workspaces and keep delivery accountable from brief to approval.

RoadmapAgencies will orchestrate client delivery from one command centre, invite clients into branded workspaces and preserve complete operational visibility.
Planned for V2
RoadmapInvited clients will enter an agency-branded portal to review work, exchange context, approve deliverables and follow the complete delivery history.
Roadmap items describe product direction and may change as Approvalane learns from V1 customers.
Plan the work, invite developers, review milestones and keep the delivery record together. Features depend on your plan; payment, AI and external integrations require service activation.
A public intake form and booking link on your own domain feed a six-stage pipeline — every enquiry becomes a card, never a lost email.
Send priced proposals at a secure link. Prospects sign with a typed name — recorded with timestamp, IP and a content fingerprint.
Agree on milestones, budgets and tasks. Track delivery and review progress from the owner workspace.
Review developer submissions, approve work or request changes, with a record of each decision.
Deadlines, invoice dates and meetings in month, week and day views — drag to reschedule, book by link, export to .ics.
Request, collect and version files — with expiring share links, one-zip project downloads and reminders on autopilot.
Keep project invoices and milestone funding together. Card payments require payment-service activation.
Developers can follow earnings and payout status. Payout availability depends on account setup.
Engagements become signed agreements, approved hours become invoices — and disagreements get a record, a deadline and a way up.
The people you hire get their own branded portal: assigned work, a start-and-submit delivery loop, checksummed hand-off files and their own invoices.
Developer profiles with skills, rate and timezone — plus one honest rating per finished engagement, so good work compounds.
Project conversations, threads, reactions and files between owners and assigned developers.
Run a timer or log hours per project, share a client work diary, submit weekly timesheets, and turn approved hours into invoices.
Summarize channels, polish messages, draft updates and ask your workspace anything — role-aware and always in context.
Manage separate projects or business brands from one account, within your plan limits.
Give invited developers a workspace portal. Custom branding and verified domains depend on your plan.
Two-way Google Calendar sync, workspace API keys and HMAC-signed webhooks — wire up Zapier or your own tooling in minutes.
Live toasts, an installable app and native push on phone or desktop — with quiet hours and per-project mute so nothing shouts at midnight.
A knowledge base written separately for owners, clients and developers, plus support threads that get real replies — all inside your brand.
Export available project and financial records as CSV from your workspace.
Follow active projects, review requests, budgets and weekly activity from your dashboard.
Every workspace fully isolated, hash-chained audit timelines, verified-email signup — enforced server-side on every query.

Every project gets its own channel. Deliverables go up, feedback comes back, approvals get locked in — and everyone sees it happen live. No CC chains, no lost threads, no "which version is final?"
Per-project channels
Conversations stay attached to the work — with files, decisions and history in context.
Approvals with teeth
Every sign-off is timestamped with the approver's name and stored permanently.
Scoped by role
Clients see their projects. Developers see their assignments. Server-side, always.
Every workspace gets its own developer portal on its own subdomain — yourstudio.approvalane.com. Upload your logo, set your brand color, and your developers get a focused place to work. Custom branding and domains depend on your plan.
One magic link, zero friction
Invited developers sign in from an emailed link. No passwords, no app store, any device.
Branding that goes deep
Logo, brand color and workspace name flow through every page, button and email.
Everything developers need to deliver
Assigned projects, milestone submissions, files and conversations — connected to the workspace you manage.

V1 is for business owners who hire developers. Owners manage projects, approvals, files, payments and analytics in the owner dashboard, while invited developers work through a branded portal. Agency-to-client workspaces are planned for a later release and agency signup is not open yet.
V2 is planned to add an agency dashboard and client-facing white-label portals with the same connected delivery modules. Agencies will invite clients into branded workspaces for projects, approvals, files, conversations, payment records and activity history. These roadmap capabilities are not included in the V1 launch and their scope may evolve from early feedback.
Invite a developer by email and assign their projects. They sign in through an emailed magic link and can access the work assigned to them, submit milestones and share project files. Owners review deliveries in their own dashboard.
Each workspace has its own portal address. Plans with custom branding let you add your logo and colors. Custom domains are available on eligible plans after domain verification.
Project invoices and milestone funding are separate from your Approvalane subscription. Card payments require the platform payment service to be active; developer payouts require the relevant payout setup. Review the invoice and funding terms before paying.
Milestone approvals and change requests are recorded with timestamps and the acting user. A hash-chained project timeline helps you follow what was delivered, reviewed and changed.
Developer access is checked against project assignments within the workspace. Owners control invitations and assignments. Keep account and portal access restricted to the people working on the project.
Availability depends on your plan. Messaging requires the realtime service, and AI requires the platform AI service to be configured. The plan cards show which features each tier unlocks.
