Cheap Client Review Stand-in

Pay-per-project website and copy review for freelancers, no subscription

Problem

An indie dev was paying $70/month for MarkUp just to review websites and blog posts with clients, even in months with no projects to review. The need is low-frequency and spiky, yet it's packaged as an expensive always-on subscription.

Solution

A lightweight review tool for web pages and copy: clients open a shared link, click on the page to leave annotated comments without signing up. Charge per project or per review pack instead of monthly, with multi-round version comparison and exportable conclusions.

Users

Freelance designers, indie developers, small outsourcing studios

MVP

Shareable review links; click-to-annotate with screenshot on client side; multi-round version diff; export annotations to PDF/Markdown; per-project or per-review pricing

Revenue

One-time per-project fee or prepaid review packs, optional annual plan; no forced monthly subscription

Why now

Users are already cloning incumbents out of frustration, proving price and subscription model are the real pain; annotation and screenshot tech is mature and a weekend-grade MVP is feasible
