MarkUp
What MarkUp is
MarkUp is a review platform for collaborators to upload content, share it for feedback, and attach comments directly to the work. It supports more than 30 file types, including websites, images, PDFs, and videos. Reviewers can pin comments to specific content or annotate it, and guests can participate without registering. The Chrome extension creates MarkUps from browser pages and automatically includes screenshots with comments. Integrations are included in all plans; Business and Enterprise provide higher API and SDK capacity for custom integrations. The maker also describes connecting MarkUp to other apps through Zapier, while the Microsoft Teams integration sends feedback updates into a Teams workspace. Plans start at $79/mo and include a 14-day trial; there is no free plan. Pro plans list 50–100 MarkUps per month and Business plans 200–600, each with one workspace. Monthly plans list unlimited users. Additional MarkUps can be purchased in batches of 10 at $4.00 per MarkUp. Enterprise includes SOC II documentation, SSO (SAML), and a custom DPA.
