A MarkUp.io alternative with a free plan
MarkUp.io, now part of Ceros, no longer has a free plan: paid plans start at $79 a month for 50 new MarkUps. If you mainly need pinned feedback on images, PDFs, videos and website screenshots, edits.io covers that on a free plan, or $19 a month with no limit on projects.

The main differences
Pricing model
MarkUp.io charges by how many new MarkUps you create each month (from $79 for 50), with unlimited users. edits.io Pro is a flat $19 a month with unlimited projects and teammates, and there’s a free plan.
Live websites
MarkUp.io loads the live site through its proxy, so reviewers can click through pages and switch device sizes. edits.io captures a full-page screenshot of the URL instead: simpler, but not interactive.
Files
Both handle images, PDFs and video with pinned comments. In edits.io, video comments record both the position on the frame and the timestamp, and clicking one jumps the player there.
Choose MarkUp.io if…
- You review interactive websites and need to comment while clicking through them on different device sizes.
- You want a browser extension that captures comments with screenshots on any page you visit.
- You have a large team creating dozens of reviews a month and the per-MarkUp pricing works for you.
Choose edits.io if…
- You want a free plan, or a flat price that doesn’t grow with how much you review.
- Your reviews are mostly images, PDFs, videos and static page captures.
- You want clients to comment with just a name, no email or signup.
