How each tool charges

  • Per person: ruttl charges $18 per user a month, or $15 billed yearly. Cheap for one person, the most expensive here for a team of ten.
  • Plan sizes: HTMLAnnotate, Pastel, BugHerd, Marker.io and Userback sell plans for a set number of people. The price stays flat until you need the next size up, then jumps.
  • Usage: Markup.io includes unlimited users and charges by MarkUps per month instead, from $79 for 50.

What the price doesn't tell you

  • What you can review. Markup.io, Pastel and ruttl also handle images and video. HTMLAnnotate covers websites, HTML files and PDFs.
  • How feedback reaches you. BugHerd, Marker.io and Userback use a script on your site or a browser extension and lean towards developer workflows. HTMLAnnotate, Pastel, ruttl and Markup.io work from a shared link.
  • Project limits. Some plans cap active projects or canvases, which matters more than seats for agencies with many clients.
