Frequently asked questions

Is Tweak a Markup.io alternative?
Yes. Tweak covers the core Markup.io use case (visual feedback on live websites) with structured share links and developer sign-in. It does not replace Markup.io for teams that need project-level workflow tooling.
Can I use both?
Yes. Many teams use Tweak for ad-hoc feedback and Markup.io for tracked client review cycles. They overlap but serve different stages of feedback workflow.
What plans does Tweak offer?
Tweak offers Free and Pro plans for teams and agencies. See tweak.page/upgrade for current limits. Contact support@tweak.page for billing questions.
Do recipients need to install Tweak to view annotations?
No. Share links open the annotated page in any browser. The Chrome extension is only required to create annotations, not to view them.
