AnnotationBase
Bristol, United Kingdom
What it is
AnnotationBase is a web-based visual feedback tool for placing comments directly on websites. Users can pin a note to a specific page element, add context or a screenshot, and tag teammates. Replies, updates, and resolutions remain together in a thread attached to that element. Clients and other stakeholders can comment through a shared link without creating an account or downloading software. The service works with live websites, staging environments, and localhost sites that open in a browser, and lists Elementor, Framer, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, WordPress, and GoDaddy as compatible platforms. Open feedback can be copied as a structured prompt for an AI editor, and users can export comments and project data. The free Lite plan permits five active projects and up to five collaborators. Monthly Pro costs £9.99 per month, while Yearly Pro costs £99.00 per year; both include unlimited projects and collaborators. The operator identifies itself as a data controller under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, and says hosting is within the UK or EU. API access is marked as coming soon.
