Looking for a simpler way to get sign-offs?

TryApprove vs Markup.io
| Feature | TryApprove | Markup.io |

| Client Experience | Magic links, no passwords | Browser extensions often required |
No extensions required
Never ask a client to install a browser extension again. TryApprove works perfectly in any browser on any device. It's just a link they click to review and approve your work instantly.
Clear, decisive approvals
Instead of unlimited messy comments all over a webpage, TryApprove focuses on moving the project forward. Clients can request specific changes or give a clear, definitive “Approved” with one click.
Why TryApprove is the superior Markup.io alternative
Markup.io is a popular tool for detailed website annotations, allowing teams to click anywhere on a live webpage and leave a comment. While powerful, this often leads to an overwhelming "scattershot" of feedback from clients who get distracted by minor details instead of focusing on the overall project goals.
If you're looking for a Markup.io alternative because you're tired of managing hundreds of disconnected comments and browser extension issues, TryApprove is the perfect solution. We believe approvals should be definitive. TryApprove presents your deliverables in a clean, professional, white-labeled environment.
Instead of endless comment threads, TryApprove guides clients toward a clear decision: either request specific, actionable changes or click "Approve" to officially sign off on the work. It's faster for them, and infinitely less stressful for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can clients approve work without installing extensions?
Absolutely. Depending on the deliverable type, some annotation tools require clients to install browser extensions, which adds massive friction. TryApprove works perfectly in any modern browser on desktop or mobile—zero installations required.
How do I know when a client has approved a file?
TryApprove automatically sends you an email notification the second your client clicks the "Approve" button. We also log a timestamped record of the approval in your dashboard so you always have a source of truth.
Does TryApprove support custom branding?
Yes! Your clients should see your agency's brand, not ours. Our Pro plan gives you a fully white-labeled client portal where you can upload your logo and customize the brand colors to match your agency.
