StiqNote vs MarkUp.io
MarkUp.io, made by Ceros, lets you drop in a link or a file and comment on it. It handles live websites through its proxy and more than 30 file types, including PDFs and video. Every plan has unlimited users; you pay for how many new MarkUps you create each month.
StiqNote is a Chrome extension for reviewing websites, with comments pinned to the element, bug reports with logs and a replay, and a flat price per team.
Here's how they compare on 30 September 2026. MarkUp.io's details come from its pricing page and help center, listed at the bottom.
Choose MarkUp.io if…
- You review many kinds of files. MarkUp.io takes images, PDFs (with text highlighting), video with timestamped comments and more. StiqNote only does web pages.
- You have a large team and few reviews. Users are unlimited on every plan. If you create fewer than 50 MarkUps a month, a big team pays the same as a small one.
- You need your own domain. MarkUp.io Business has a vanity domain, such as review.yourbrand.com. StiqNote doesn't offer custom domains yet.
- You want formal sign-off per reviewer. MarkUp.io has statuses and a sign-off per reviewer.
Choose StiqNote if…
- You review a lot of pages. StiqNote has no limit on pages, sites or comments. MarkUp.io Pro includes 50 to 100 new MarkUps a month, with extras at $4 each.
- Your developers fix bugs from the feedback. StiqNote Pro adds console errors, network requests and a replay of the last 3 minutes. We didn't find these in MarkUp.io.
- You work in GitHub, Linear, Jira or Asana. StiqNote sends threads there with status synced both ways. We didn't find native integrations with these in MarkUp.io's help center; it connects to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zapier, Loom and Webflow, and has an API and webhooks.
- You want to record your screen. StiqNote records up to 5 minutes with your voice. MarkUp.io records through its Loom integration.
- You want your branding without Business. StiqNote Agency ($69) shows your logo, colour and name to clients. MarkUp.io branding starts on Business ($499).
- You want an MCP server. StiqNote has one on Pro. We didn't find one for MarkUp.io.
- You want a free plan. StiqNote Free covers 3 people. MarkUp.io has a 14-day trial; after it, an unpaid account is restricted.

Price by team size
Per month, in US dollars, excluding tax. Monthly billing first, yearly billing in brackets. For each team size we show two prices:
- List price: the cheapest plan that fits that many people.
- Like for like: the cheapest plan that fits and has what StiqNote Pro includes: console and network logs or a session replay, Jira or Linear, and private comments.
MarkUp.io's price doesn't depend on team size, only on how many new MarkUps you create. Pro has no yearly option; only Business bills yearly.
| Team | StiqNote | MarkUp.io | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 people | List price | Free $0 | Pro from $79 for 50 MarkUps |
| Like for like | Pro $29 ($24) | Not available: no logs, replay or Jira found | |

With StiqNote Agency's client features (your branding and client sign-off):
| Team | StiqNote | MarkUp.io |
|---|---|---|
| 10 people | Agency $69 ($55) | Business from $499 (about $416 yearly) for branding; statuses and sign-off per reviewer |
| 20 people | Agency $69 ($55) | Same as above |
MarkUp.io Pro is $79 for 50 MarkUps a month (no yearly option), $99 for 75 and $129 for 100. Extra MarkUps are $4 each, in packs of 10. Only creating a new MarkUp counts; comments, guests and new versions don't.
In short: up to 22 people, StiqNote costs less: at 20 people, StiqNote Agency is $69 against MarkUp.io Pro's $79. From about 23 people, MarkUp.io Pro costs less, if 50 new MarkUps a month is enough. MarkUp.io has no logs, replay or Jira at any price.

Export your comments as CSV or JSON from each MarkUp if you want a record.
