Annot8 vs SiteDots

Annot8 is a web-based feedback tool that attaches comments to webpage elements and combines feedback, live chat, public requests, and analytics in one workspace. Threads can contain screenshots, screen recordings with console errors and failed requests, and voice notes. Installation uses one script tag; the company says the tool works with stacks including React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Astro, WordPress, and Webflow. Listed integrations include Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Jira Cloud, Linear, Asana, Trello, GitHub, GitLab, email, and outbound webhooks, but third-party integrations are available on Pro and above. Pro and above also include AI triage, which can categorize and prioritize new threads, check for duplicates, summarize, draft replies, and extract action items. The Agent can inspect reports and a connected repository, create a scoped patch, and open a draft pull request for human review; it does not merge the request. Free includes two projects, three team seats, three guest reviewers, 50 feedback threads per month, 14-day history, and 1 GB storage. Pro costs $8 a month per seat when billed yearly.

SiteDots lets people place comments, feedback and fix requests directly on a live website. Its Chrome extension adds tags to page elements through isolated scripts, and the maker says setup takes under two minutes without scripts or code snippets. Comments record the screen size and device type when posted; the maker says annotations stay attached to their target elements as screen size changes. Projects can include teammates and clients who view, edit, create and approve tags. Invitees need no paid plan and can join projects without limit. The maker says the extension works with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and custom-built sites, including private pages the user can access. It currently works in Chrome, with support for other browsers being worked on. Trello, Notion, Slack and Discord syncing, plus Webhooks and Zapier automation, are marked coming soon in pricing. The free plan allows one project/domain, three users and 12 dots per project. Paid plans are $10 USD per month billed yearly and $33 USD per month billed yearly.
