A live-site & tasks Markup.io alternative
UX Peeker vs Markup.io
Last updated July 2026 · Written to be honest, not a sales pitch.
Looking for a Markup.io alternative? Markup.io is great at one thing: leaving visual comments across a huge range of content — websites, images, PDFs, videos (30+ file types) — described by users as "Google Docs for websites." UX Peeker is narrower and deeper: it focuses on live websites and web apps, and adds a built-in task board, screen recording, and a no-login client portal, so feedback turns into tracked work without a second tool.
Quick verdict
Choose UX Peeker if teams reviewing live websites and web apps who want built-in tasks, recording, and a no-login portal — plus a free plan — rather than just commenting.
Choose Markup.io if teams who need to review many content types (PDFs, video, images) in one simple commenting tool, and handle task tracking elsewhere.
Both are great at: Both let reviewers comment directly on live websites without an account.
What is UX Peeker?
UX Peeker is an all-in-one review workspace for live websites and web apps. Pin comments on the live page, record your screen and voice, and every comment becomes a task on a built-in Kanban board. Clients review through a no-login portal, and tasks deep-link back to the pin — with a free plan to start.
What is Markup.io?
Markup.io (markup.io) is a visual collaboration tool for leaving contextual comments on 30+ file types — live websites, images, PDFs, and videos. It works via a Chrome extension, supports unlimited guests with no registration, and is known for a simple, "Google Docs for websites" experience.

The key differences
Breadth of content vs depth on websites
Markup.io is the broadest of these tools for content types (30+ file types). UX Peeker deliberately focuses on live websites and web apps, and goes deeper there with tasks, recording, and breakpoint review.
Commenting vs the whole loop
Markup.io is excellent for leaving comments, but turning them into tracked work generally means another tool. UX Peeker's built-in board, comment-to-task, and deep-linking keep review and delivery in one place.
