Read all 27 reviews“I won’t start a project without it. I had a larger website project that stalled because they couldn’t get around to editing the content or provide corrections. A year later I added Simple Commenter and showed them, 3 weeks later the project was launched. Real world value!”
Jim Langman
Product Hunt“After Markup changed it's plan pricing drastically, I was looking for an alternative [...] there were a 2-3 glitches with comment placement out of 25-50 comments [...] otherwise it worked very well, even on a live website. Overall my clients LOVED using Simple Commenter on their website revisions, saying it was way better than using Markup in past projects. Huge win!”
“I host and manage several clients on WordPress. SC is a great addition to my support stack in getting real input into *what* my clients are actually seeing and what they want. I've set the script into a code snippet that shows SC only to admins & editors and can be toggled on/off for ease of use.”

Insert this script into the <head> section of your HTML. After the script is in place, you can gather feedback from clients and view comments on any device, including mobile. You can view the comments on the page you added the script to, or you can view them in the Simple Commenter dashboard.
- Is Simple Commenter available for a one-time purchase?
- Yes, Simple Commenter is available as a one-time purchase, so once you buy it, you can use it with no recurring fees or strings attached. You'll receive updates to keep the tool running smoothly, and your current functionalities will work forever. In the future, I might introduce new pricing tiers that offer additional features, such as file uploads, which come with higher maintenance costs and a revised pricing model. However, your original purchase will always retain its full functionality.

- Will the preview in Simple Commenter update in real time if I make changes to my website?
- Simple Commenter is an addition to your website. When you update your site, the tool remains active; however, because comments are attached to specific HTML elements, major layout changes might break the connection. It's best to resolve or archive comments before making significant changes, although minor updates like text, images, or color changes are perfectly fine.
- Can clients leave feedback without signing up or logging in?
- Yes. Clients never create an account or set a password. Invited clients click the link in their email and land on the site ready to comment. On projects with open access, a commenter types their email once and clicks the confirmation link we send. There is no signup form and nothing to install.
- How does Simple Commenter work as a website annotation tool?
- Simple Commenter enables direct annotations on any webpage, allowing users to comment, markup, and provide detailed website feedback in real-time. It functions as an intuitive website annotation tool-perfect for reviewing and enhancing your site with precise design feedback.
