Pastel alternatives

Best Pastel alternative when an agent is in the loop

Pastel makes share-a-link annotation feel instant for clients. Its MCP server lets agents resolve comments. ReviseMy adds what comes after: intent on every mark, before/after evidence, and a verified state only you can set.

Must fix, nit or keep tells the agent what matters. Only you mark it verified.

Why people look for a Pastel alternative

Comments need intent (must fix, nit, keep this) so the agent knows what matters, not just free text.
You review agent UI, slides, or email HTML as often as live marketing sites.
You want authoritative owner marks vs guest suggestions vs optional AI hints.
Multi-pass agent work needs before/after evidence and human verification.

What to look for

Share-link friction for non-technical reviewers
Whether an agent can consume the feedback without a human retyping tickets
Coverage beyond live websites (screenshots, PDF, HTML)
Clear separation of suggestions vs decisions

Options

Not interchangeable: each solves a different version of the problem.

ReviseMy

This one

Visual feedback for your agent. It captures UI, a page, an email or slides; you mark what matters and decide; it reads your marks and keeps going.

Best for: Teams where an agent builds the work and a person approves it before the loop stops.

Your marks are the brief the agent works from
Every mark from open to resolved to verified
Second opinion stays a suggestion
No account — reviewers only need the link

Marker.io

Live-site visual bug reporting with rich browser context into existing PM tools.

Best for: Bug reports that need console logs, session replay and Jira/Linear sync.

Browser and technical metadata
PM tool destinations
Production bug reporting workflows

When to keep Pastel

Keep Pastel for client proofing across video, images and PDFs, or when a resolved comment is all the sign-off you need.
Use ReviseMy when the agent should open the review itself and you want to verify each fix against a before/after.
You can keep Pastel for marketing-site client rounds and ReviseMy for agent-built product UI.
If export to Asana or Jira is the success metric, Pastel (or Marker.io or Lucidly) may fit better.

FAQ

Is ReviseMy as easy for clients as Pastel?

Reviewers open a secret link and mark — no MCP, no ReviseMy account. Guest links are suggestions-only. Setup complexity sits with the person connecting the agent.

Does ReviseMy annotate live DOM elements like Pastel?

ReviseMy marks regions on captured screenshots (including URL capture). It is capture-based, not a live DOM overlay product.

Can I use both?

Yes. Pastel for classic client website rounds; ReviseMy when an agent owns the implementation pass.
