Feedbucket Pricing

Similar to Ruttl, MarkUp.io uses proxy technology, which means you don't need to install anything on the website. This is really handy for getting feedback on live sites or websites you don't control.

All you do is enter the URL of the website, and it generates a shareable link for submitting feedback and collaborating on the site.

This sounds super simple at first, but to me there's a major downside. Your team now has to use a separate platform to manage feedback. The client's staging site is live, but they need to go to a different URL to give feedback instead of doing it right on the page.

Also, your team has to handle feedback within MarkUp.io because there aren't many integration options. Mostly, you're looking at manually exporting feedback. I found myself picking each piece of feedback one by one to export to ClickUp, which took a lot of time and was pretty frustrating.

BugHerd packs everything needed for your agency to start collecting website feedback from your clients, both using screenshots and recordings.

I really like that BugHerd embeds their guest portal directly on the website. Being able to see and collaborate on all feedback on the website, and not in a separate tool somewhere, greatly eases the adoption process for clients.

A major drawback for me, though, is the limited number of integrations, especially the lack of two-way integrations. That means, the team members would have to juggle the feedback in BugHerd and the everyday regular tasks in the project management tool.

Another big point to consider is that BugHerd offers similar features as Feedbucket or Marker.io but is 2x-3x more expensive.

Pastel is another tool where you don't have to install anything on your website, similar to Ruttl and MarkUp.io.

This approach offers significant advantages in that you can submit feedback on live websites where you can't install a script or even on websites that you don't own.

But, in the development phase where you have put the client's website on a staging site and are asking for review, this becomes a drawback instead. This means you have to share two links with them. One for the actual staging site, and if they want to submit feedback or collaborate on already submitted feedback, they have to go to another site.

This can quickly mean that your clients revert back to sending you those emails with unclear feedback.

Make sure to look out for the 72-hour commenting window in their lower plans. Having a client submit all feedback and complete a review within 72 hours would be some sort of record.

Superflow is fairly new, but really well made. It's built for agencies, just like Feedbucket.

One of the coolest parts of Superflow is its real-time feature. If you're on a site with someone else, you'll see each other's mouse movements, similar to collaboration in Figma. It's not essential, but it's definitely a neat touch for teamwork.

One drawback for me, however, is the fact that Superflow doesn't take a screenshot of the feedback. It "just" puts a pin where the feedback is left on the site. These pins quickly disappear when changes are made to the site.

Superflow also lacks in integrations, and those they have are only one-way. Having to manage feedback in one platform and regular tasks in another creates a lot of inefficiencies and headaches.

Also, Superflow recently jacked up their prices a lot. Now their first paid plan is at $299 a month. It's a good tool but that is just a lot compared to other alternatives.

Marker.io can be used to collect website feedback both from your clients and team members. In my opinion, though, it really shines when gathering bug reports from team members on your own products. This is where features like network tracking and session replay become truly valuable.

One great feature is the ability to display different widgets to team members and clients. This means your team can set priorities and assign tasks - things you wouldn't want clients doing.

However, Marker.io falls a bit short when it comes to client feedback. Clients need to create an account and log into a separate feedback portal to collaborate. It would be much more convenient if this portal were embedded directly into the website.

Another limitation is the lack of video feedback support. Some bugs or animation issues are difficult to explain with just text and screenshots. In these cases, video and audio recordings can make providing feedback much easier and clearer.

Usersnap can collect feedback on almost anything. As the name suggests, its main focus is gathering feedback from users. It's ideal for SaaS tools that need to collect feedback, bug reports, or feature requests from their users.

Agencies can use Usersnap to collect feedback from clients and team members. However, its focus on user feedback means Usersnap comes with many features you probably won't use. These include NPS, microsurveys, and roadmaps. All these extras add to the price and complexity of the tool.

Because of this focus and extra features, Usersnap becomes the second most expensive tool on our list. For agencies primarily needing client feedback, you're probably better off with another tool.
