Squarespace Circle Gold Partner

Ruttl is a platform for visual feedback and inline design edits, with guests invited into a project to review. Bridge is not a review workspace at all: it is a widget on the client’s own Squarespace site, open to them with no sign-up, where the conversation, the to-do list, and the invoice live together. Plans are priced by how many client sites you run it on.

Choose Bridge if you want…

  • Squarespace designers who want one private channel per client
  • Anyone whose clients will not log into another tool to leave a note
  • Studios that want chat, voice, tasks, files, and payment in one on-site widget

Ruttl may fit better if…

  • Reviewers who want to tweak design and content inline, not just comment
  • Teams comparing many hosted review platforms with a free tier to start

The verdict

Ruttl shines when reviewers want to edit as they comment. Bridge is the better pick when the client relationship is the point, and the chat, tasks, and invoices should live on the site you built them.
