The short version
Pick the one that fits the job.
Choose Brandy if
- You want long-form brand guidelines as the centerpiece
- You prefer a paid tier that scales asset limits gradually
- Your brand is one brand and 20 assets is plenty
Choose GitBrand if
- You manage several brands and want five of them free
- You want PNG and JPG generated from one SVG instead of uploading each
- Developers need the palette as CSS, SCSS, Tailwind or JSON
- You want AI assistants and agents to read the brand directly
Our verdict
GitBrand leads on 7 of 15 criteria.
Brandy is the closest thing to GitBrand in this list and a fair choice. The difference is in what happens after upload: GitBrand exports formats, converts colors, previews fonts and publishes machine-readable endpoints, so the page does work for the people who open it. Brandy leans toward richer written guidelines. Pick the one whose free plan matches your brand count.
