Client feedback, not dev tickets
Marker.io is a strong bug-reporting tool that pushes issues into Jira, Linear and GitHub — great for dev teams. dotts is for the design-review phase with clients: a shared link, no widget to install, and feedback that flows into your editor, not a ticket queue.

Why designers pick dotts over Marker.io
“My client is never going to open Jira.”
Marker.io is built to route feedback into a dev tracker — a workflow your client never sees or wants.
With dotts: dotts keeps feedback a conversation on the page: your client comments, you reply and resolve.
“I have to install a widget on every site.”
Marker.io needs a code snippet, a WordPress plugin or a browser extension to capture feedback.
With dotts: dotts works through a shared link. Nothing to install, on your side or your client's.
“There's no free plan, just a trial.”
Marker.io is trial-then-paid, starting at $39/month and climbing per user.
With dotts: dotts has a free plan and one simple price with unlimited reviewers.
“Feedback becomes a ticket. I just want it in my editor.”
Integrations route feedback into a tracker, not to where you build.
With dotts: Copy for AI turns any thread into structured context, and dotty AI connects your assistant straight to the project.

Marcus, a freelance web designer from Stockholm, moved his client reviews to dotts and cut the back-and-forth per project by about 40%. His clients comment directly on the staging site instead of sending annotated screenshots by email.

No — like dotts, Marker.io lets reporters comment without an account. The difference is where the feedback goes: a dev ticket versus a conversation that flows into your editor.
For lightweight QA, yes — every comment captures a screenshot plus browser, OS and viewport. For a dev team running bug triage inside Jira or Linear, Marker.io is the specialist.
dotty AI is the dotts MCP server: connect Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and your assistant works through the open comments itself, instead of you filing tickets.
