Squarepaste and Ruttl, Side by Side

Ruttl is a visual feedback platform: guests are invited into a project, open the live site in Ruttl, and leave comments or edit text and styles inline to show what they mean. Squarepaste isn’t a review workspace. It lives on your client’s own Squarespace site, where the conversation, the to-do list and the invoice for the work sit together.

Why Squarespace Designers Choose Squarepaste

Feedback stays on the site you built

Ruttl opens your client’s site inside its own review tool. Squarepaste is already inside the Squarespace editor your client logs in to, so a comment is pinned to the real page, drafts included.

One channel per client

Most of what a client needs to say isn’t about a single element. Every Squarepaste project has a chat next to its tasks, with files and voice notes, and any message can become a task.

Each project has one page with its tasks and its conversation, for you and up to three client members.

The work gets paid for

A Squarepaste task can carry a fixed or hourly price your client pays from the task, so out-of-scope changes don’t turn into unbilled hours. See how client payments work.

When Ruttl Is the Better Choice

Choose Ruttl if your reviewers want to edit text and styles as they comment, if you review sites that aren’t on Squarespace, or if you’d like a free tier to try a review before paying.

If your sites are on Squarespace and the feedback comes from the client who owns them, Squarepaste covers the review and everything after it.
