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 free trial and Marker.io offers a 15-day free trial, but neither has a permanently free tier. Once the trial ends, BugHerd starts at $50/month and Marker.io at $59/month ($39/month billed yearly). 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 is $50/month ($42/month billed yearly) for 5 members, and Marker.io's Starter plan is $59/month ($39/month billed yearly) for 3 users. Annoture's Starter plan is £15/month (£12/month billed yearly), 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: Marker.io is built to forward feedback into your existing project management tool, while BugHerd and Annoture both include a built-in Kanban board, so you don't need a separate tool to track and resolve issues.
Is Annoture a replacement for BugHerd or Marker.io?
For most teams, yes. Annoture covers the same core workflow (click an element, capture a screenshot with full context, file a report) and includes a built-in Kanban board, so you don't need a separate project management tool alongside it. Teams that rely on session replay, feedback on Figma or PDF files, or unlimited client guest users may still prefer Marker.io or BugHerd.
