Annot

Annot is a web tool for gathering feedback on websites and web applications. It creates shareable live previews where clients can comment directly, including through a link that does not require them to create an account. Teams can sort comments as open or resolved to follow issues toward completion. The previews support custom code and WebGL, and an in-app widget can collect comments from people using a web app. Annot identifies Slack notifications, Notion sync and execution through Claude, Cursor or any AI model among its workflow integrations.

A free plan includes one active project, one page, one user and unlimited guests. Freelance costs $9 a month and includes one active project, all website pages, one user, unlimited guests, comment file uploads, Slack integration and email support. Pro costs $29 a month, with three active projects and unlimited users and guests; its email support response is listed as 48 hours. Agency costs $59 a month, includes unlimited projects, users and guests, and lists a 24-hour email response. The privacy policy says account data is deleted within 30 days of closure, project content upon project deletion, and technical and usage data may be kept for up to 12 months.

Annot offers a focused way to collect and track client comments on web experiences, with guest access and integrations across its plans. The free tier is limited to one project and page; paid plans start at $9 a month.

Annot suits agencies, freelancers and teams that collect feedback on websites or web applications. It is especially relevant when clients need to comment through a shared link without creating an account.

Annot is a web-based feedback tool for teams reviewing websites and web applications with clients. It suits agencies and freelancers that need comments anchored to a web experience, especially when reviewers should not have to create accounts. Its focused review workflow is useful, but the free plan’s single-page ceiling and the paid plans’ project limits shape who should choose it.

Overview

Annot gives clients a shared preview where they can comment directly, and lets teams sort comments as open or resolved. That combination makes it easier to collect feedback and follow outstanding issues than relying on a stream of detached messages. Guest access is a practical advantage for client work: reviewers can comment through a link without joining the service.

The workflow is centered on webpages, with an additional widget for collecting comments inside a web app. Previews support custom code and WebGL, extending the tool to projects that use either. Annot is not a browser-capture product, so teams needing capture-based review should look elsewhere.

Key features

Comments that stay tied to the work

Comment-based review keeps feedback connected to the experience under discussion, while open and resolved filters give teams a basic way to track progress. This is a clear fit for client review and issue follow-up; it is less suited to teams seeking a broader project-management system.

Guest access and integrations

Unlimited guests across the paid plans let agencies invite clients without using team seats, and the free plan also includes unlimited guests. Slack notifications and Notion sync connect feedback to familiar workflows. Pro and Agency include all integrations, including execution through Claude, Cursor, or any AI model; Freelance includes Slack only. Those higher-tier integrations may matter to teams already using those tools, while a single-user freelancer may have little reason to pay for the broader set.

The privacy policy says Annot collects account, usage, content, guest, technical, and communication data, and does not sell personal data. Account data is deleted within 30 days of account closure, project content upon project deletion, and technical and usage data may be retained for up to 12 months. For personal data transferred outside the EEA, Annot says it uses GDPR safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or transfers to countries deemed adequate by the European Commission.

Pricing

Annot has a free plan and three monthly paid plans. The free plan includes one active project, one page, one user, and unlimited guests. The single-page cap makes it suitable for a small trial or narrow review, not a full-site client workflow.

• Free: Price not listed; billed monthly. One active project, one page, one user, and unlimited guests. It omits the full-site coverage and file uploads included in paid plans.
• Freelance: $9 a month, billed monthly. One active project, full website coverage, one user, unlimited guests, file uploads in comments, Slack integration, and email support. This is the economical fit for a solo practitioner, but it does not add team seats or the full integration set.
• Pro: $29 a month, billed monthly. Up to three active projects, full websites, unlimited users and guests, file uploads, all integrations including AI models, and email support with a 48-hour response. It suits teams handling several concurrent client projects; the three-project ceiling may constrain larger agencies.
• Agency: $59 a month, billed monthly. Unlimited projects, full websites, unlimited users and guests, file uploads, all integrations including AI models, and email support with a 24-hour response. Its higher price is justified for agencies that need unrestricted project capacity or the faster stated response.

Freelance and Pro list email support, with a 48-hour response stated for Pro; Agency states a 24-hour response. The plans are billed monthly, so the listed prices describe monthly billing rather than an annual commitment.

Platforms

Annot is available on the web. Its focus on webpages and in-app feedback suits teams whose review work happens in browser-based projects, but it does not provide browser capture.

Who it's for

Annot is strongest for freelancers, agencies, and web teams that need clients to comment on a live preview and want a simple open/resolved workflow. Guest access is particularly useful when client reviewers are occasional. It is a weaker fit for teams that need several projects on a free plan, browser capture, or a fuller system for managing work beyond comments.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Guest reviewers can comment without accounts, reducing friction for client feedback.
• Pros: Open and resolved filters provide a direct way to follow feedback through resolution.
• Pros: Custom code, WebGL, and an in-app feedback widget cover varied web review contexts.
• Cons: Free limits users to one project and one page, making it a narrow trial for multi-page sites.
• Cons: Freelance is limited to one user and Slack integration; broader integrations and multiple users begin at Pro.
• Cons: Annot is web-focused and does not offer browser capture.

Alternatives

Pastel is worth comparing for teams looking for a web annotation tool with Android and iOS apps as well as web access; its free plan covers one user and one canvas.

Weava Highlighter is a better fit for individual research and highlighting across web, iOS, and browser extension platforms, with unlimited highlights and notes on its free plan.

Annot8 may suit small teams that want more room on a free plan: it includes two projects, three team seats, three guest reviewers, and 50 feedback threads per month.

AnnotationBase is another web option, with a free Lite plan covering five active projects, up to five collaborators, guest commenting, and comment resolution.

Huddlekit is an alternative for designers and developers focused on handover between them.

Hypothesis may be a better match for education-oriented annotation, with a free plan for core annotation and private groups billed per student yearly.

Leafy is an alternative available as a browser extension or self-hosted software.

Perusall is worth considering for course-based work; its free course creation can involve a student platform fee unless covered by an institutional license, book adoption, or waiver.

Verdict

Choose Annot if your work centers on client feedback for websites and web apps, and you want guest comments tied to a preview with a straightforward way to track resolution. Freelancers can start with full-site coverage on Freelance, while teams needing multiple projects, users, or all integrations should weigh Pro or Agency against their project volume. Look elsewhere if you need browser capture or a useful free allowance across multiple pages and projects.
