· 5 min read
Inspack and ManageArtworks both use AI to check packaging artwork, but they are built for different jobs. ManageArtworks, made by Karomi, is a packaging artwork management platform whose AI module, ComplAI, checks labels against FDA, EU, and FSSAI regulations. Inspack is a compliance review platform that checks packaging and marketing content against the regulations of every market you sell in, and runs the approval workflow around the review.

Which tool fits your team?
The right choice depends mostly on which team owns the artwork process.
Your team | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
Regulatory affairs checking labels for several countries | Inspack | Ready rulesets for the US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and Asia-Pacific, maintained for you |
Packaging development managing dielines, specs, and pack copy | ManageArtworks | Dieline library, 3D preview, Copy Manager, and specification management in one system |
Marketing reviewing ads, websites, and listings as well as packs | Inspack | Checks Meta, Google, TikTok, and LinkedIn policies and Amazon, Walmart, Costco, and Tesco requirements |
Pharma packaging needing Braille checks and validated systems | ManageArtworks | Braille analysis, barcode verification, and validation services for regulated environments |
Mixed teams that need review and approval in one place | Both | Both run approval workflows; compare on regulation coverage and price |
What does each tool check artwork against?
ComplAI has built-in checks for three named regulators plus your own rules. Inspack checks against ready rulesets for many markets plus your own sources of truth.
Inspack | ManageArtworks ComplAI | |
|---|---|---|
Regulations | Ready-made rulesets for the US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and Asia-Pacific, suggested by AI after a scan; custom rulesets for any other market | Built-in checks for FDA, EU, and FSSAI; other markets set up by your team through region-specific profiles and checklists |
Market setup | Select markets, or let the AI suggest them from the artwork | Configurable profiles that define mandatory elements per market |
Your rules | Brand guidelines, internal rules, and do/don't lists, combined into presets | Custom checks for taglines, logo colors, and font hierarchy |
Reference files | Briefs, master labels, and SDS files | Approved pack copy (Copy Manager) and previous artwork versions |
Layout and print | Required symbols, warnings, barcodes; color measurement, layer analysis, multi-up print inspection | Size and placement relative to the principal display panel; Pantone colors, image resolution, linked assets |
Retailer and platform rules | Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Tesco; Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn | Not found in public docs |
Output | Findings with severity, the cited rule, and a suggested fix | Deviations flagged with AI-generated comments |
How current are the regulations in each tool?
Inspack updates its rulesets automatically. It follows 100+ regulatory sources such as FDA, EPA, and EFSA, dates each change, and re-checks content a change affects. Legal and regulatory advisors also review the rulesets regularly.
ManageArtworks says ComplAI validates against the latest FDA, EU, or FSSAI regulations. Rules for other markets are configured by your team; we did not find a public description of how those are kept up to date.
What does each cost for a real team?
Both vendors publish their prices, but they charge differently. ManageArtworks charges per plan, with up to 10 users included. Inspack charges by the number of reviews per month. Here is what that means for three typical teams, at monthly list prices as of October 2026:
Scenario | Inspack | ManageArtworks |
|---|---|---|
Small brand: about 10 artworks a month, review only | $99/month (Starter, 10 reviews) | $399/month (Pro: proofing and DAM) |
Growing team: about 50 artworks a month, with approval workflows | $599/month (Pro, 50 reviews, integrations) | $499/month (Growth: adds workflow automation) |
Enterprise: more than 10 users, SSO, ERP or PLM integrations | Custom pricing | Custom plan |
ManageArtworks offers about 10% off when paid yearly ($359 and $459 per month), and its pricing page does not say which plans include ComplAI. Free trials: Inspack 7 days, ManageArtworks 14 days.
In short: Inspack is much cheaper for low review volumes. ManageArtworks Growth costs less for a 10-person team reviewing about 50 artworks a month that mainly needs workflow.
