AnnotationBase review
A focused review workspace for website feedback, client comments, and resolution tracking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AnnotationBase is a visual website feedback tool for freelancers, agencies, small teams, designers, developers, project managers, and clients. It creates projects from live websites, staging environments, or localhost pages, then lets collaborators pin comments to exact page elements. Guest review links, screenshots, teammate tags, assignments, comment threads, status tracking, and resolution workflows keep feedback connected to the page it concerns. It is delivered as a hosted web service with an optional Chrome extension for sites that do not load inside embedded viewers.
Pricing is built around a freemium model. Lite is free and includes 5 active projects, up to 5 collaborators, guest commenting, AI instructions export, and comment threads and resolution. Monthly Pro costs £9.99 per month and adds unlimited active projects and unlimited collaborators, while retaining the other listed features. Yearly Pro costs £99 per year with the same feature set as Monthly Pro. The main paid upgrade is therefore capacity: teams move from fixed project and collaborator limits to unlimited access on those measures. Lite suits small reviews with modest project volume; Pro is the clearer fit for agencies or teams managing several concurrent client engagements.
The product’s strongest fit is a webpage-centered review process. Exact-element comments can be assigned, discussed, and tracked through resolution, while open feedback can be exported as AI instructions. The Chrome extension extends review coverage to sites blocked from embedded viewers, and guest links reduce the need to bring every client into a full workspace. AnnotationBase is less suitable for teams seeking broader document, image, or multi-format annotation workflows, or a wider integration ecosystem. Choose it when website feedback and client participation are the priority; consider an alternative when annotation must extend beyond webpages.
