SiteDots vs Weava Highlighter

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.

Weava Highlighter helps users collect research from websites and PDFs through highlights, annotations, and organized folders. Highlights can be made on websites, online PDFs, local PDFs, and PDFs uploaded to Weava. Users can attach notes without a stated length limit, then search highlights and filter them by color in the dashboard. The dashboard also supports folders and sub-folders, citation creation, and exports to Microsoft Word, Excel, CSV, or TXT. Weava is offered as a Chrome extension; its resources also describe use with recent Microsoft Edge versions that support Chrome extensions. An iOS app provides a mobile option. Premium shared folders let users invite collaborators by email to view and work with highlights and notes. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited highlights and notes, sync across unlimited devices, 100 MB of storage, and basic email support. Premium costs $3.99 a month and adds unlimited storage, customizable highlight colors, unlimited sub-folders, collaboration, and prioritized support. Weava describes its audience as students and researchers and says it supports more than 700,000 users worldwide.
