A MarkUp.io alternative that lives inside WordPress

MarkUp.io is a polished way to collect comments on websites, images, PDFs and video – but it’s a separate cloud workspace you upload to, starting at $79/mo with no free tier anymore. If your work is live WordPress sites, Reviso does the website part natively: clients pin feedback on your real, running site, and everything is stored in your own WordPress install.

Choose Reviso if

your reviews are live WordPress sites and you want the feedback in your own database at a flat, low price.

Choose MarkUp.io if

you review lots of non-website assets - design mockups, PDFs, marketing videos - and want them all annotated in one place.

Where Reviso wins

  • Feedback on the real site, not a copy. MarkUp captures a page into its workspace; Reviso runs on your actual live WordPress site, so clients comment on exactly what’s deployed.
  • You own the data. Comments live in your WordPress database, not a Ceros workspace with a storage quota.
  • There’s still a free tier. MarkUp retired its free plan in 2025 and starts at $79/mo. Reviso is free to start and $9/mo for Pro.
  • Built-in approvals and sign-off. Reviso records a timestamped client approval per page (free), with a downloadable PDF certificate on Pro – MarkUp doesn’t position sign-off as a core feature.

Where MarkUp.io is the better pick (honest)

  • You review more than websites – image mockups, PDFs, long-form video – and want one annotation tool for all of them.
  • You’re not on WordPress, so a WordPress-native plugin isn’t relevant.
  • You want a standalone workspace your whole team logs into, independent of any CMS.

For live WordPress sites, yes. Clients pin contextual comments on the real page instead of an uploaded capture, and you manage it all inside the builder. If you also need to annotate PDFs, images and video, MarkUp’s multi-format workspace covers more file types.

No – MarkUp retired its free tier in 2025 and starts at $79/mo. Reviso has a free-forever core plan, with Pro at $9/mo.

No. You share a review link and clients pin feedback without an account – the same low-friction flow as MarkUp’s guest commenting.

On your own WordPress server. With MarkUp it’s stored in the MarkUp/Ceros cloud under your workspace’s storage quota.

Switching from MarkUp.io: what maps to what

MarkUp.io is a multi-format review workspace: you upload a website, image, PDF or video and reviewers annotate the upload. That breadth is the point of it, and it is a real strength if your work spans more than web pages. Reviso does one of those formats only, and does it on the live page rather than an upload. If your review work is WordPress sites, here is how the concepts map.

In MarkUp.io In Reviso
A MarkUp, created by uploading or pasting a URL A review on the live page itself – single-page, multi-page or whole-site
A workspace Your WordPress site; each site is its own workspace by definition
A comment pinned to the uploaded snapshot A pin anchored to the actual builder element, so it survives later edits instead of drifting off a stale screenshot
Share links you manage per MarkUp A no-login review link per review, revocable at any time
Unlimited users on one price Unlimited reviewers, never counted as seats; team seats scale by plan
Approval as an informal “looks good” in the thread An explicit approval with a timestamped record (free) and a PDF sign-off certificate (Pro)

Three honest differences before you switch. MarkUp.io reviews images, PDFs and video as well as websites – Reviso does not, and if you review artwork or video alongside web pages you would be giving that up. MarkUp.io also works on any URL, where Reviso runs inside WordPress sites you control. And MarkUp.io’s flat “unlimited users” pricing is genuinely simple for a large team; Reviso is cheaper for small teams but scales its own way. There is no importer for historical MarkUps either.

What you get that MarkUp.io does not do

Suggest mode. Instead of a comment that says “change this heading”, your client proposes the new wording directly on the live page, like a tracked change in a document. You see exactly what they want it to say and accept or reject it in one click – accepting can apply the edit straight to the page in Bricks (Pro). Comments tell you something is wrong; a suggestion hands you the fix.

Beyond that: feedback you resolve inside Bricks, Elementor or the Gutenberg block editor rather than in a separate workspace you have to reconcile by hand; pins that anchor to the builder element rather than an uploaded snapshot; every pin, thread and approval stored in your own WordPress database; and a free-forever core, where MarkUp.io retired its free plan and now runs a 14-day trial only.
