In their own words
AnnotationBase
AnnotationBase is a web tool for placing visual feedback on website elements. Users can pin comments to a specific element, add context or screenshots, and tag teammates; replies, updates, and resolutions stay in a thread associated with that element. Clients and stakeholders can comment through a shared link without an account or download. It works with live websites, staging environments, and localhost sites that open in a browser. Listed platforms include Elementor, Framer, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, WordPress, and GoDaddy. Open feedback can be copied as a structured prompt for an AI editor, and comments and project data can be exported at any time. The free Lite plan allows five active projects and up to five collaborators. Monthly Pro costs £9.99 a month, and Yearly Pro costs £99 a year; both allow unlimited active projects and collaborators. API access is marked as coming soon, with planned connections to Linear, Notion, Jira, or custom systems.
