The bottom line

Polished website annotation for design teams, but the 2025 pricing jump to $79/mo makes it hard to recommend without evaluating cheaper alternatives first.

What it really isMarkup.io — visual annotation and feedback tool for live websites and creative assets.
Our takeMarkup.io lets teams pin comments directly onto live web pages, images, and PDFs in-browser, cutting revision-cycle email chains.
Markup.io retired its free plan in 2025; the only entry point is now a $79/mo Pro plan (30-day trial, credit card required). It is a paid-only tool, not freemium.
Why we rate itThe in-browser annotation UX is genuinely seamless — stakeholders click a URL, drop a pin, and leave a comment without installing anything.
For teams whose whole workflow is client review on live sites, it removes a lot of friction.
The catchA 172% price hike in 2025 (from $29 to $79/mo) with no free tier left makes the entry bar high.
Pro is limited to one workspace, which pushes multi-client agencies straight toward the custom Enterprise tier.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Design agencies running iterative client reviews on live websites
  • Product teams collecting stakeholder feedback on staging environments
  • Teams replacing screenshot-heavy email review threads
Not good for
  • Solo freelancers or small teams sensitive to $79/mo flat cost
  • Teams needing multiple workspaces without going Enterprise
  • Feedback on native mobile apps or desktop software
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: share a URL, invite a reviewer, start pinning comments in under five minutes — no install required.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    The single-workspace Pro limit breaks at agencies managing multiple client accounts; forces an Enterprise conversation at undisclosed pricing.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: comments and markups live inside Markup.io; integrations with Slack and Jira exist but full export of threaded annotations is limited.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
