Why teams choose Cayda over Pastel
Your real site, not a copy
One script tag on your own domain. Pages behind login, dashboards, checkout flows and single page apps work because your team is using the real site with their own session. Nothing passes through a third party proxy, and no password ever leaves your site.
Priced per collaborator, nothing else
A base fee covers you; each accepted teammate is $5 to $6, not $24. Five people with Jira and Asana pay $38, not $99. Unlimited sites on every paid plan, so there is no canvas count to manage.
Invisible to visitors. Always.
The layer exists only for authenticated team members and invited guests, so you can leave notes on production without a staging copy or a review link. Slack on Pro; Jira, Asana and Linear on Team.
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 captures the steps, not just the spot.

Where the review actually happens
Cayda · your live site
Team members see the feedback layer on the real page
Visitors see nothing, on any plan
One script tag; works behind login and in single page apps
Pastel · a copy of your site
Reviewers open a separate link, not your domain
Pages behind login and dynamic apps need workarounds
The copy can drift from what you actually shipped

How Pastel approaches it
Pastel is a client review canvas. You paste a URL, Pastel fetches the site through its proxy and presents it inside a canvas, and reviewers comment on that canvas by link without an account. It also reviews images, PDFs and videos, with approval and deadline features aimed at getting a client to sign off. Its help centre notes that requests, including any passwords entered, pass through its servers, and integrations with Jira, Asana, Trello and ClickUp sit on the $99 Team plan.
Cayda takes the other route: the review happens on your real site, for your real team, with the real page state, and the tracker integrations sit on a $14 base fee.
The bottom line
If what you are reviewing is a live application, a page behind login, or a portfolio of client sites, Cayda is the tool that works on the thing itself, and it costs less at every team size. Add a site free and click on it.
