Markup.io is a polished, cloud-hosted way to collect visual comments across live URLs and creative files. Bridge takes a different path: instead of renting a seat on someone else’s platform, you buy a Squarespace-native widget once and run it on your own infrastructure, for every client you have.

Choose Bridge if you want…

  • Squarespace designers who want feedback to live on the client’s actual site
  • Anyone tired of a monthly bill that scales with projects or reviewers
  • Studios that want to own the tool and the data outright

Markup.io may fit better if…

  • Agencies juggling many external reviewers across web, images, PDFs, and video
  • Teams that want a hosted platform they never have to set up

The verdict

If your world is Squarespace client work and you’d rather own a private tool than rent one, Bridge wins on price, privacy, and fit. If you need one hosted hub for heavy multi-format review across large external teams, Markup.io is built for that.

FAQ

Is Bridge a Markup.io alternative for Squarespace designers?+

Yes — Bridge is built specifically for Squarespace client work. It lives on the client’s site as a private widget, so feedback and chat happen where the website actually is, and you pay once instead of subscribing.

Is Bridge really a one-time purchase?+

Yes. You pay once for Bridge and every future update is included — no monthly fees, no seat licenses, no per-site charges.

How many client sites can I use Bridge on?+

As many as you like. One purchase covers every client you onboard, forever.

Where does my data live?+

On your own free Supabase project. Chat history, uploaded files, and user records stay in your account — not on our servers or a third party’s.
