Mixhaus vs Samply

Both Mixhaus and Samply support private audio sharing, version switching, timed feedback, listener access without an account, and controlled downloads. Mixhaus begins earlier with watched folder export capture and keeps formal decisions and final delivery in the active project record.

The Mixhaus workflow

Mixhaus combines automatic watched folder capture, organised version history, client review without an account, timestamped feedback, synchronized A/B playback, explicit approval for each version, and final delivery in one active project.

The Samply workflow

Both products provide lossless review, organised versions, timed comments, password protection, and listener activity. The main difference is where the workflow begins: files are added to Samply, while Mixhaus can capture supported exports from watched folders automatically and carry them through approval and final delivery.
