Creative QA for freelancers
A second pair of eyes when you work alone.
No account manager, no studio proofreader, no colleague to glance over it. LYNCE reads the finished files against the brief before you send them to the client.
Revision four is where the mistakes live.
In a studio a file passes three people before it reaches a client. Working alone, the person who made the change is the person checking it — right after making it.
300×250 still reads €45
Fix Revision 4 updated three of four exports.
Phone number differs from the client's brief
Fix Worth confirming which is current before sending.
The dangerous edit is never the first one. It is the fourth: the client changes the offer, you update the sizes you have open, and one export that was already approved keeps the old number. Nothing about it looks wrong, because it looked right the last time you checked it.
Drop the whole set in with the brief attached, and every version is read against the brief and against the others. The one that drifted stands out beside the three that did not. Creative QA for designers →
You pay for scans, not for a seat.
A tool billed per seat is bad value for one person with uneven work. LYNCE is billed in credits: one image is one credit, one analysed PDF page is one credit, and reference files are free. A quiet month costs you nothing extra.
Every account starts with 20 free credits — one-time, no card — which is enough to run a real client set through it before you decide anything. Plans and credits →
What it will not do
It will not catch everything, and it does not make the work error-free. It reports what it can evidence and shows you where it came from; you decide what is a real problem and mark the rest as not an issue.
It also cannot know what was agreed unless you tell it. The checks that matter most — prices, dates, offers, contact details — depend on you attaching the brief or price list as a reference. Without one, it can only check the file against itself.
