The Marker.io alternative that lets clients give feedback without an account or hassle
Marker.io is strong at pushing bugs into developer tools. If you mainly want a tool in your own language where clients give feedback right away, PinMe is the logical choice.
Try it for freeWhy teams look for a Marker.io alternative
Sometimes a tool just does not fit the way you work. These are the reasons we hear most.
Clients do not want to log in
A client who has to create an account first will drop off. The feedback then arrives by email after all, and you are back where you started.
The tool is English only
If you work with clients in another language, an English interface is a hurdle. You want everyone to leave a comment without any explanation.
More about bugs than review
Pushing bugs into an issue tracker is great for developers, but a client review with rounds and statuses calls for something a little different.
What PinMe does differently as a Marker.io alternative
Pins on your live site, feedback without an account and an interface in your own language.
Feedback without an account
Clients and guests give feedback through a secure share link. No sign-up, no password, just click and type. You can revoke such a link per project whenever you want.
- Open the share link and drop pins right away
- No account or password for guests
- Links can be revoked per project
Pins on your live website
Click any element on your live site or test environment and leave a comment. The pin sticks to the clicked element and a screenshot is taken automatically, with screen size and browser info.

Rounds and statuses
Organize feedback into rounds with the statuses Open, To Review and Complete. Every pin has its own comment thread, with mentions and assignments so everyone knows who picks up what.
