dotts is a visual client-feedback SaaS for freelance web designers, small studios, and small teams. It brings live and staging website reviews together with PDF and image feedback, using pinned comments on exact page or document elements. Reviewers can open no-login client links, reply in comment threads, mark items resolved, attach files, use @mentions and emoji reactions, and capture screenshots with browser context. The workflow is designed for teams that need a shared place to collect and close visual feedback without asking clients to create accounts or install a plugin.

Pricing is straightforward across its two published plan levels. Testing costs $0 per month and includes up to 3 projects, unlimited reviewers, and basic support. Pro costs $15 per month when billed monthly or $150 per year when billed annually, with unlimited projects, unlimited collaborators, priority support, and a 14-day money-back guarantee. That makes the free tier suitable for a small number of active reviews, while Pro adds capacity, collaborator access, and support priority for ongoing client work. The annual Pro option lowers the listed monthly equivalent compared with paying monthly across a year.

The product’s strongest distinction is its mixed review surface: one workflow covers websites, PDFs, and images, while screenshot and browser-context capture can add useful detail to web feedback. Its AI-oriented options—Copy for AI and an MCP server—extend the workflow for teams that want to hand off comment content to AI or MCP processes. Choose dotts when no-login client review, threaded resolution, and low-cost coverage across web and documents matter most. Consider another tool if your process depends on broader annotation modes, a wider platform ecosystem, or more than 3 projects on a free plan.
