Comparison

Bridge vs Markup.io

Both let clients leave feedback on the live site. Bridge does it as a private widget on the client’s own Squarespace site, where they never sign up for anything, and where the chat, the to-do list, and the invoice all sit in one panel.

Markup.io is a polished way to collect visual comments across live URLs and creative files, with reviewers invited into a shared workspace. Bridge is narrower and closer to the client: a widget on their own Squarespace site that holds the conversation, the tasks, the files, and the payment for the work. Your client opens it and starts talking, with no account to make, and you pay by how many client sites you look after rather than by seats or projects.

Choose Bridge if you want…

  • Squarespace designers who want feedback to live on the client’s actual site
  • Anyone whose bill grows every time they add a project or a reviewer
  • Studios that would rather bill for the work in the same place they discuss it

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 want one calm place per client to talk, track the to-dos, and get paid, Bridge fits better. If you need one hub for heavy multi-format review across large external teams, Markup.io is built for that.
