AnnotationBase vs Revisely

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.

Revisely is a Chrome extension for reviewing live websites, adding visual feedback, editing CSS, and preparing implementation handoffs. Users select an element on a page, add feedback or CSS changes, and export a prompt, revision card, or issue-ready text. Auto Issue Finder checks for contrast, tiny text, missing alt text, small touch targets, heading problems, image issues, links, and ARIA gaps. Pro adds handoff profiles for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, v0, and Lovable, along with issue-ready exports for GitHub, Linear, and Jira. Feedback sessions stay in Chrome storage on the user's device; the product says it has no cloud workspace. Pro also offers controls for masking sensitive text before export. The Free plan costs nothing and includes annotations, live CSS edits, and general AI prompt export. Lifetime Pro costs $9.99, paid once, with no subscription, and supports up to five devices. The extension works on many public and local pages, including localhost and staging, when Chrome permits extension injection; restricted pages or environments may block it.
