Cayda vs Marker.io

The Marker.io alternative that starts at $9, not $39.

Both tools let your team leave visual feedback on a live website. Cayda does it without a visible button on your site, without metering your page views, and without a $149 tier standing between you and Jira. Here is the comparison, number by number.

Why teams choose Cayda over Marker.io

Invisible to visitors. Always.

Nothing renders for your audience on any plan. The feedback layer appears only for authenticated team members and the guests you invite. No launcher, no badge, no URL key to leak, no toggle to forget. Run it on production.

Priced per collaborator, nothing else

A small base fee covers you; each accepted teammate is $5 to $6. No seat blocks, no page view meters, no per-site caps on paid plans, and guests on the Team plan never cost a member fee.

A dashboard built for triage

Kanban and list views, filters by status, priority, assignee and note type, bulk actions, threaded comments and CSV export on Pro. Marker.io holds CSV export back to its $149 plan.

Context captured automatically

Every note pins to the element and records a screenshot, page URL, browser, OS and viewport. Screen recording on the Team plan. Nobody has to remember to include the details.

How Marker.io approaches it

Marker.io is built around a feedback button that renders on the page so anyone visiting, including the public, can file a report. Its plans are sized by users, projects and monthly page views: Starter covers three users, ten projects and 5,000 page views; Team lifts that to fifteen users, fifty projects and 25,000 page views and is where issue sync with Jira, session replay and console capture live, at $149 a month.

That model suits a product team collecting bug reports from end users on a couple of properties. Cayda is built for the team that owns the site: the layer is private, page views are never counted, paid plans have no site limit, and the tracker integrations sit on a $14 base fee.

The bottom line

If you want your team and your clients leaving pinned notes on the real site, triaging them in a board, and pushing them into Slack, Jira, Asana or Linear, Cayda does that for $9 to $38 a month for most teams, with nothing showing to your visitors.

The free plan has no trial clock, so the fastest way to decide is to add a site and click on it.
