FAQ

Switching, pricing and how Cluma compares

What is the best alternative to Design Pickle or Penji?

For SaaS product teams, Cluma. It is product and UX-led (dashboards, app UI, design systems), modular, and AI-accelerated with progress roughly every 48 hours, on a flat published price with genuine pause anytime. Generalist queues still fit high-volume marketing graphics.

How does Cluma compare to Superside on price?

Cluma publishes flat module rates from $1,995 to $3,995 per month, no contract. Superside is quote-based, starting around $15,000 per month on an annual commitment plus a platform fee (verified August 2026, superside.com). For most SaaS product teams, Cluma is a fraction of the cost.

Can I pause, unlike an annual enterprise contract?

Yes. Cluma lets you pause anytime; billing stops immediately and unused days of the month bank and resume when you reactivate. First month paid in full, then cancel or pause anytime, no long-term contract, no cancellation fee, plus a 7-day trial.

Is Cluma better than a contest site like 99designs?

For ongoing SaaS product design, yes. 99designs is a per-project crowd contest, best for a one-off logo or asset. Cluma is a continuous, senior-owned design team for product, brand and launch work, on a flat monthly subscription.

How fast can I switch?

Three steps: migrate your live requests, onboard your brand and design system, and see progress on your first request roughly every 48 hours until it is finished. With pause anytime, a 7-day trial and no cancellation fee, trying Cluma carries no lock-in risk.
