The short version
Pick the one that fits the job.
Choose Baseline if
- You want to generate branded social images from the same tool
- A narrative brand guide is more important than downloadable assets
- Your team is mostly marketers producing content weekly
Choose GitBrand if
- You want the assets themselves: SVG, PNG, JPG, font files, palette exports
- You need password or member-only access for client work
- You manage several brands and want them free
- AI agents and assistants should read the brand from an endpoint
Our verdict
GitBrand leads on 7 of 15 criteria.
Baseline is guide-first with a content generator attached. GitBrand is asset-first with guidance attached. If your team’s bottleneck is producing on-brand posts, Baseline’s editor is a real advantage. If the bottleneck is people not finding the right file, GitBrand is more direct and costs nothing for five brands.
Common questions
Can GitBrand generate social images?
No. GitBrand shares the assets and guidance; content is made in your design tools or in tools that read your brand endpoints.
Does GitBrand publish a live brand guide?
Every repository is a live page with logos, colors, fonts, resources and a FAQ. It is less document-like than a guide, and more like a kit you can download from.
