I'm looking for a way for clients to point to parts of a website and leave revision notes there. What tools are worth considering, and how do you choose between them?
What can clients use to leave revision notes directly on a website?

BugHerd is one option for this kind of visual feedback. Clients can leave notes tied to parts of a page, which is a lot easier to work through than a document full of vague references to things near the bottom.

Take a look at Marker.io too. It can work through a browser extension, so it's worth considering if you want a relatively straightforward setup for clients without adding a widget to the site.

Search for visual feedback or website annotation tools. Pastel, Ruttl and BugJar are other names to check alongside BugHerd and Marker.io.
Before picking one, decide where the feedback needs to end up. A pin is useful, but a URL, screenshot, browser details, status and assignee make it much easier to turn a note into an actual task. If you already use a task tracker, check whether the tool can send feedback there.

VibeVaults is another option if an invite-only feedback workflow appeals to you. It focuses on selecting a page element and attaching a note with a cropped screenshot and browser information. I'd compare its access and task workflow with the other tools before choosing.

Also check what the client has to install or sign into. The simplest workflow for your team might not be the easiest one for them.
