AnnotationBase is a web-based visual feedback tool for commenting directly on websites. Users can pin a comment to an exact page element, add context or a screenshot, and tag teammates. Replies, updates, and resolutions stay in a thread linked to that element. Clients and stakeholders can comment through a shared link without creating an account or downloading anything. The service 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 users can export comments and project data at any time. The free Lite plan allows five active projects and up to five collaborators. Monthly Pro costs £9.99 per month, and Yearly Pro costs £99.00 per year; both include unlimited active projects and collaborators. API access is marked as coming soon. AnnotationBase says it does not sell personal data or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
Who it is for
AnnotationBase suits project managers, freelancers, clients, designers, developers, and agencies reviewing websites together. Guest links let clients and stakeholders comment without setting up an account.
