The exact critique
your work needs.No fluff. No ego.

Get a fresh trusted look at your work before it ships. Gauged against your goal, never a taste or a guess, with a score that's added up by multiple metrics and a clear next move.

No credit card needed. Your first critique is the whole thing, free.

Why it matters

This isn't just a score.
It's a conversation.

We see what's working first, because you need to know what to protect. Then we get specific about what deserves a closer look. No vague notes. No making you feel the work is wrong. The work isn't broken. It may just not be done yet. We help you get it there.

Most tools hand you a number, a shrug and a "looks good." ExaCrit shows its work. Every piece goes through the same nine checks, contrast is measured straight from your file, and the score is added up category by category, so you always see where it came from.

Who ExaCrit is for

Anyone who makes visual work and cares about it.

Creators
Designers
Students
Influencers
Brand builders

Students learning their voice. Creators and makers building audiences. Designers shipping work. Influencers testing thumbnails. Brand builders starting from scratch. People who want a trusted eye before anything goes live. Anyone who knows good feedback changes everything.

Everyone here has settled for the same thing at some point. Feedback that was fast but hollow, or sharp but out of reach. This is the look your work deserved all along.

Before it ships

Every piece of work deserves a second set of eyes.

Not to tell you it's wrong. To show you what's working and where one shift could make it land harder.

What you get

Your score and where it lands. What's working, so you know what to protect. What's worth a closer look, with clear direction. Then Your Move: two or three next steps, ranked by how much each one moves your goal. Bring it back, and Round 2 checks your fix first.

Your critique scorecard

The exact card you get with every critique, free one included. Nothing blurred.

Why it's trusted

A critique you can actually trust.

The feedback is only useful if you believe it. Here's what's behind every critique.

The Goal

Judged against your goal, never taste.

Tell us more, like who it's for and what it needs to do. Every note is weighed against that, not anyone's personal style.

The Loupe

Measured, not guessed.

Contrast is measured straight from your file, so a readability note comes with the numbers behind it.

The Checks

The same nine checks, every time.

From readable type to a clear next step for the viewer, every piece gets the same checks, so nothing slips through.

The Tally

A score that's added up from real metrics, not felt.

Six weighted categories, each with its own score. The overall number is their total, so you see exactly where it came from.

The Thread

Round 2 remembers Round 1.

Bring it back and your fix gets checked first. Every note gets an answer, and your score only moves when your work does.

You have options

Finding feedback you can trust shouldn't be this hard.
Here's the honest difference.

Most creatives end up choosing between three things. None of them was built for how it feels to ask.

There's the tool you already have open in another tab. Fast, free, always on. But it hands back encouragement, not direction. It doesn't know your work, your audience, or what you were reaching for.

There's the quick review from someone online. Human, sure. But often a glance, not a look, and sometimes judgment you didn't ask for. Notes that could apply to anyone's work, because they didn't really study yours.

And there's the seasoned pro. Real depth, real eye. But you wait days for a reply, and you pay for every minute of it.

ExaCrit lives in the space between all three.

Depth without the wait. Specificity without the price. Creative Director level depth without the hourly rate.

Creative Director level thinking, delivered in minutes, not days, and tuned to the exact work in front of you. Judged against your goal, measured from your file, scored the same way every time. No waiting on replies. No wondering if it's being straight. Just a clear read you can act on today.

What are you working on?

The critique changes based on what you're building.

Mode 01
Brand System & Identity

Building from zero or rebuilding from the ground up. We look at how everything moves together. Logo, color, type, all the applications. Does it hold as one unified voice?

Full system evaluation
Mode 02
Marketing & Social Collateral

Ads, banners, social cards, thumbnails, channel banners, cover cards, and printed pieces like brochures and flyers. Composition first. Does it stop the scroll?

Composition-first
Mode 03
Single Asset & One-Off Work

One piece, a new concept, an experiment. A focused critique of how hard this one piece lands, and what would make it land harder.

Impact assessment
Mode 04
Series & Campaign Critique

When you're shipping a set of pieces that need to work together. Series Mode evaluates the campaign as a whole. Coherence first, individual post strength second. Three to six posts, read as one campaign and counted as one critique.

It doesn't write your copy or make the fixes for you. For UI and app screens, we review the visual design of the screen, not usability testing. It isn't built for long-form writing, strategy documents or code.
