Leafy

What Leafy is

Leafy is a collaborative tool for annotating, highlighting, and commenting on live webpages in real time. Users can attach comments to selected page elements, reply in threads, mention teammates, and mark feedback resolved. A dashboard gathers annotations from different sites and lets users filter, search, and jump to a discussion. Annotations can also be copied as prompts for AI agents, including CSS selectors, XPath, and React component chains. Leafy describes its audience as product teams, educators, and researchers. It is listed as a Chrome extension, and self-hosted deployment is available through Enterprise. That plan also lists Slack, Teams, and Google Chat integrations, OIDC, SAML, and SSO support, automatic joining for coworkers using a company domain, and dedicated onboarding and support. Leafy says it sends page-related data when a user takes an action that requires it rather than passively scanning browsed pages. Annotation records can contain the page URL and technical anchor context, including selected text and snippets of surrounding text and HTML, each up to 500 characters. Leafy says stored data is encrypted in transit and at rest in Google Cloud Firestore, and is not sold, used for advertising, or used to train generalized machine-learning or AI models. Pricing is freemium, with a free plan and a listed paid starting point of $5/mo.

Who it suits

Leafy suits product teams, educators, and researchers who want to discuss and resolve feedback directly on live webpages. It may also suit organizations that need company sign-on, chat integrations, or self-hosting, which are listed with Enterprise.

Limits

The free plan permits up to 3 teams with 4 members each and joining up to 10 teams. Pro allows unlimited teams with up to 15 members per team; Enterprise lists unlimited members per team.

Getting started

1. Install Leafy from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Create or join a team using the free plan, or choose a paid plan.
3. Open a live webpage and add an annotation to a selected element.
4. Use the dashboard to search, filter, or return to a thread.
5. Copy annotations as a Markdown prompt for an AI agent, if needed.

Verdict

Choose Leafy if your team wants to review live webpages through anchored comments and shared annotation threads. Consider Enterprise if you need self-hosting or organizational sign-on; the free plan is capped at three teams of four members each, while Pro allows up to 15 members per team.
