A Unified Client Portal vs. An Annotation Tool
Markup.io is designed primarily to pin notes on staging URLs. For a full-service creative agency, website feedback is just one piece of the puzzle. You also need to share video cuts, brand guidelines, PDF proposals, and marketing collateral.
TryApprove provides a complete, beautifully branded home for each client relationship. Clients don't just comment on links — they see project status, review deliverables, sign onboarding documents, and pay invoices, all without installing any browser extensions.
