Cayda vs Ruttl

The Ruttl alternative that costs $6 a seat, not $18.

Ruttl loads a copy of your page inside Ruttl and bills $18 for every user. Cayda runs on your own domain through one script tag, records the browser, OS and viewport behind every note, and bills a base fee plus $5 to $6 per teammate. Five people with Jira: $38 versus $90.

Why teams choose Cayda over Ruttl

Priced per collaborator, nothing else

A base fee covers you; each accepted teammate is $5 to $6 instead of $18. Two people pay $14 on Pro. Ten people with Jira, Asana and Linear pay $68, not $180. The gap widens with every person you add.

Your real site, not a copy

One script tag on your own domain. Your team reviews the page that actually shipped, logged in as themselves, so authenticated pages, single page apps and staging environments work without a browser extension.

Context captured automatically

Every note pins to the element and records a screenshot, page URL, browser, OS and viewport, so a developer knows exactly what the reviewer saw. Screen recording on the Team plan.

A dashboard built for triage

Kanban and list views, filters by status, priority, assignee and note type, bulk actions, threaded comments, an activity feed and CSV export on Pro. Slack on Pro; Jira, Asana and Linear on Team.

What a team actually pays

Cayda: annual billing, per month. Ruttl: the monthly per-user price shown on ruttl.com/pricing, September 2026 (no annual figure displayed).

How Ruttl approaches it

Ruttl is a design review tool. It loads your page inside Ruttl, and its distinctive feature is live editing: reviewers can change text, fonts, spacing and images on that copy to show a developer what they mean. Password protected pages need its Chrome extension, pricing is $18 per user per month on the Pro plan, and the free plan stops at one project, five pages and ten comments.

Cayda is a feedback tool for the live site. The review happens on your domain, every note carries the technical context a developer needs, and pricing is a base fee plus $5 to $6 per teammate.

The bottom line

If your team is reviewing a real application or a set of client sites and wants notes that arrive with browser context and land in Slack, Jira, Asana or Linear, Cayda does it on the site itself for a third of the per-seat price. Start free on two sites.
