PagePin – Client Feedback & Bug Reporting vs Reviso – Client Feedback & Approvals

PagePin gives WordPress agencies and developers two tools for client feedback and bug reporting — Pinshots for screenshot-based bug reports and Pinpoints for DOM-based comment threads. Self-hosted, GDPR compliant, no cloud dependencies. Pinshots — Bug Reporting Screenshot-based feedback with visual markers. Place numbered markers anywhere on the page, add notes, and capture everything in a single screenshot. Perfect for quick bug reports, design reviews, and client feedback rounds. Three Marker Types — Negative (red) for bugs, Positive (green) for approvals, Note (orange) for comments One-Click Screenshots — Capture the current page instantly with all markers included Email Delivery — Send feedback with screenshot attachment to up to 5 recipients Custom Watermark — Brand every screenshot with your own text Adjustable Compression — Image quality from 10% to 100% Undo/Redo — Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y to undo and redo marker placements Drag & Drop — Reposition markers by dragging them to the correct location Pinpoints — Client Feedback DOM-based comment threads attached directly to page elements — like Google Docs comments, but for your live website. Comments persist even when the page layout changes, making it ideal for ongoing collaboration and iterative design feedback. Element-Attached Threads — Click any element to start a comment thread on it Smart Element Matching — Comments survive layout changes through CSS selectors, content fingerprinting, and multi-signal scoring @Mentions — Mention team members or external guests in comments to notify them Resolve & Reopen — Mark threads as resolved and reopen them when needed Sidebar Overview — All pinpoints listed in a slide-out sidebar with unread badges Visual Indicators — Numbered badges on the page show where pinpoints are attached Tag System — Organize pinpoints with custom colored tags (Bug, Design, Content, Urgent, or your own) How It Works Pin — Press Ctrl+Alt+F (or click the floating button) and click anywhere on your site Capture — Screenshot, element position, and browser context are captured automatically Ship — Feedback is delivered to your inbox or discussed in a pinpoint thread Key Features Screenshots & Markers Three annotation tools with automatic numbering Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Alt+F to activate, keys 1/2/3 for tool selection Customizable floating feedback button with inactivity auto-hide Dual screenshot engines (html2canvas and html-to-image) Touch support for tablets and mobile devices Collaboration External Collaborators — Invite anyone via Magic Link email or shareable URL (no WordPress account needed) Collaborator Reuse — Grant existing guests access to additional pinpoints without creating new links @Mention Notifications — Mention collaborators in comments to send email notifications with Magic Link access Auto-Grant Access — Mentioning a collaborator automatically grants them access if they don’t have it yet Share Modal — Internal link for team members, external sharing with guest dropdown or new guest creation Thread Notifications — All thread participants (including collaborators) are notified of new comments Configurable Link Expiry — Set Magic Links to expire after 7, 30, or 90 days Admin & Management Admin dashboard with feedback statistics and quick links Feedback overview with status filters (New, Sent, Resolved) and bulk actions Post/Page metabox showing pinpoint count per content Admin bar integration with live feedback counter badge Collaborator management with type display, inline email editing, and access control Tag management with custom colors and usage statistics 8-step setup wizard for first-time configuration Security & Access Control Role-based access — control who can create, view, and resolve feedback Granular pinpoint permissions (create, view, resolve per role) Spam protection: honeypot, submission timing, rate limiting with escalation Optional CAPTCHA: reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile Rate limit escalation (5 min → 15 min → 1 hour → 6 hours → 24 hours) Privacy & Standards 100% self-hosted — your server, your database, your data GDPR compliant — no external calls unless CAPTCHA is enabled Clean uninstall — all data removed when plugin is deleted Multilingual — English and German included, translation-ready WordPress Coding Standards (WPCS 3.0) and PHPStan Level 5 Use Cases Web Agencies — Collect and manage client feedback across projects Developers — QA testing, bug reporting, and code review workflows Support Teams — Visual bug reports from users with full context Design Reviews — Attach comments to specific design elements for iterative feedback Content Teams — Request page changes with visual annotations Client Onboarding — Share feedback links with clients who don’t have WordPress accounts Public Feedback Mode Enable public feedback to allow website visitors (even without login) to submit visual feedback.

Reviso turns WordPress into a true client-collaboration tool. Reviewers (clients, teammates, stakeholders) leave pinned feedback directly on your live pages, no logins, no email chains, no PDF round-trips. It’s native to the Bricks and Elementor builders and the Gutenberg block editor, and works on any WordPress theme or site. Reviso is a visual feedback and website proofing tool for WordPress: clients annotate any element with a pinned comment, you action it inside your builder, and you close each round with a recorded sign-off, which cuts revision rounds. For wording changes, reviewers can go further than commenting. Suggest mode is tracked changes for websites: they propose the new wording in place on the live page, and you accept or reject it in one click, so you never have to work out what “can we reword this?” actually meant. Because every pin captures an automatic screenshot plus the page, browser, operating system and screen size, the same review link doubles as a lightweight bug report and QA channel for launch snags, without sending anything to a third-party service. What’s in the free version Pinned comments on any element: desktop, tablet, or mobile Threaded replies so a back-and-forth doesn’t sprawl across messages Status tracking: open, in progress, resolved, with filters Single-page review links: share one page at a time with anyone, no login required Works in maintenance & coming-soon mode: review links open the real page for invited clients even while Bricks or Elementor maintenance mode is on, so you can collect feedback before launch without taking the site public Admin-bar quick-review: spin up a review for the current page (or whole site, Pro) from the Reviso icon on the front-end admin bar Client approvals: reviewers can mark a page as approved (own admin tab, Reviso → Approvals) Email notifications when someone leaves a comment, replies, or approves a page, with optional burst-coalescing so a flurry of comments arrives as a single email Builder-native UI: the comment overlay adopts the look of Bricks, Elementor or the block editor so it never feels bolted on Element-anchored pins that survive page edits (three fallback strategies: DOM, content, position) Suggest mode: reviewers propose replacement wording directly on the page, like a tracked change, and you accept or reject each one (applying an accepted edit inside Bricks is Pro) Internal comments: pin private team-only notes on any page, including archives, listings and search results, and share a thread with the client only when you choose Emoji reactions on any comment, so “yes, agreed” doesn’t need a whole reply Optional reviewer email: clients can leave feedback with just a name Feedback dashboard: every pinned comment across the whole site in one list Automatic screenshots with page, browser, OS and viewport context attached to each pin Cache-proof review links: reviewer sessions bypass W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, WP Super Cache, Cache Enabler and SiteGround Optimizer, so a share link never shows a stale page Review drafts and unpublished pages through a private link before anything goes live Close on finish: a review can stop taking new comments once the client marks it done, with one-click reopen Available with the Pro addon Reviso Pro extends the free plugin with: Multi-page Reviews: bundle a whole site (or any subset of items) into one shareable Review, covering any post type and templates Email-restricted Reviews: each invitee gets a private magic link, with four roles (Viewer / Reviewer / Approver / Lead) Apply suggested edits in Bricks: accept a reviewer’s proposed wording and Reviso writes it to the page, taking a revertable snapshot first and purging common page caches so it shows immediately AI: automatic comment triage (bug / design / copy / content) and AI-summarised feedback rollups Reviso Cloud (Beta): manage feedback and approvals across all your sites from one dashboard, and optionally connect your own AI assistant to help action it White-label: your agency branding on the review portal, with light + dark logos that auto-pick the right variant for each surface (portal, builder splash, email header) Integrations: Slack, Discord, and generic webhooks (Zapier/Make → ClickUp, Trello, Jira, …) Email digests: optional weekly summaries Advanced notifications: multi-recipient delivery, From/Reply-To control, printable approval certificates Audit log + per-reviewer revoke Concurrent reviews with configurable expiry, including a no-end-date option The Pro addon requires this free plugin to be installed. Privacy & data Reviso stores comment data on your own WordPress site. We don’t see your reviewers’ feedback unless you opt in to Reviso Cloud’s AI features (Beta), which relay the items the assistant acts on to getreviso.io (see External services below). Optional anonymous telemetry (off by default) is opt-in. Full details in our privacy policy. External services This plugin can connect to external services run by us (Reviso, getreviso.io). Each is opt-in and described below. Anonymous usage telemetry (opt-in). When, and only when, you switch telemetry on in Settings → Reviso, the plugin sends a small weekly ping to https://getreviso.io. It contains version numbers, which features are enabled, and a random install ID, and never contains your pages, your reviewers’ comments, email addresses, or any personal data. If you installed Reviso by searching inside your WordPress admin, it also includes the search phrase you used (for example “client feedback”), so we can see how people find the plugin; it is recorded once at activation, capped at 60 characters, and is blank if you activated Reviso from your plugins list. It is used to prioritise fixes and features. You can turn it off again at any time, which stops all pings. Terms: https://getreviso.io/terms-of-service/ , Privacy policy: https://getreviso.io/privacy-policy/ Reviso Cloud (opt-in, Beta). An optional hosted service that connects your site to a Reviso Cloud account so you can manage feedback across all your sites from one dashboard and, in Beta, let an AI assistant you authorise help action that feedback. It does nothing unless an administrator connects the site under Settings → Reviso → Reviso Cloud, and you can disconnect at any time. Baseline sync. While connected, the site sends usage metadata to https://getreviso.io: your site name and address, the account email, your licence tier, and review titles and counts. This alone never sends your feedback content, screenshots, or reviewer details. AI assistant (Beta). If you use the Reviso Cloud AI tools on a connected site, the specific comments, screenshots, page structure, and reviewer names for the items the assistant reads are sent to https://getreviso.io and relayed to the AI agent you connect; with your permission the agent can also write changes back (post replies, resolve comments, edit page content). Only what the assistant acts on is transmitted, and only while you use it. Terms: https://getreviso.io/terms-of-service/ , Privacy policy: https://getreviso.io/privacy-policy/
