A simpler, free alternative for website feedback
Pastel popularised commenting on live websites. Markify gives you the same pinpoint feedback on websites and PDFs — with a free tier and reviewers who never need an account.

Markify vs Pastel: which website feedback tool fits you?
Both Markify and Pastel let you leave comments pinned to a live website so feedback is tied to the exact element instead of described in an email. If you are comparing them, the differences that matter most are price, how easily clients can join, and whether you can also annotate PDFs.
Markify is built to be the lightweight, lower-cost option: you can start free, share a single link, and the people you invite can comment straight away without creating an account. It also handles PDFs, so the same workflow covers documents as well as web pages.
Markify is less than half the price
The same pinpoint feedback on websites and PDFs — Markify’s plans run $15–$49/mo, where Pastel’s paid plans are $35–$119/mo.
Pastel pricing from usepastel.com/plans (June 2026): Free, Pro $35, Team $119, Enterprise $450/mo; annual ≈17% off. Markify: Free, Pro $15, Max $49/mo. Prices can change — check each site for current rates.
