Comparison questions

Common questions when weighing up Annoture against BugHerd and Marker.io.

Does BugHerd or Marker.io have a free plan?
No. BugHerd offers a 7-day free trial and Marker.io offers a 15-day free trial, but neither has a permanently free tier — both require a paid plan starting at $39/month once the trial ends. Annoture has a genuinely free plan with no time limit: 3 projects, 5 team members, and 100 screenshots a month at no cost.
What's the cheapest paid plan across Annoture, BugHerd, and Marker.io?
BugHerd's Standard plan and Marker.io's Starter plan are both $39/month. Annoture's Starter plan is £15/month (roughly $19), making it the cheapest paid entry point of the three while including 300 screenshots a month and 10 team members.
Do Annoture, BugHerd, and Marker.io all work as a Chrome extension?
Yes, all three offer a browser-based capture tool. The difference is what happens after capture: BugHerd and Marker.io are built to forward feedback into your existing project management tool, while Annoture includes its own Kanban board out of the box, so you don't need a separate tool to track and resolve issues.
Is Annoture a replacement for BugHerd or Marker.io?
Yes — Annoture covers the same core workflow (click an element, capture a screenshot with full context, file a report) and adds a built-in Kanban board, so most teams don't need a separate project management tool alongside it.
