Pastel and ClientTweak both overlay comments on a live site with no extension needed. The difference is in the plans: Pastel limits active canvases and users on its lower tiers, while every ClientTweak plan includes unlimited projects, members and guests.

Pastel's free and Pro plans limit how many canvases can be active at the same time, so you archive one review to start another. On Team, canvases are unlimited, priced for five users with extra users on top.
Every ClientTweak plan includes unlimited projects. Keep each client's sites, PDFs and images in their own folders, archive projects when they're done, and never think about slots.
Pastel's project management integrations are on its Team plan. In ClientTweak, Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Trello and Loom are included on every plan, including the $12.99 monthly plan.
Like Pastel, ClientTweak needs no extension: paste a URL, switch between desktop, tablet and phone widths, and pin comments to the exact element. Guests comment from a link, and you can add a password or regenerate the link at any time.
ClientTweak workspaces have owners, admins, members and a client role. Members can resolve, prioritise and assign feedback; guests and clients can comment. Clients only see the folders you share with them, which keeps multi-client agencies tidy.
Share links can be password-protected, turned off or regenerated, and you can invite people by email with a personal message.
Pause comments while your team works through feedback, then use Finish review to close the round. Threaded replies, mentions and assignees keep each discussion on its pin instead of in email.
Create a ClientTweak workspace and invite your team. Members are unlimited on every plan, so invite everyone who reviews.
Paste the live or staging URL, or upload the PDF or image you're reviewing. There's no script to add to the site.
Link Jira, Asana, ClickUp or Trello from the Integrations page so new comments turn into tasks where your team already works.
Share the project link with clients. They click, comment and you get feedback pinned to the exact element. Run both tools side by side until you're sure.
If you've outgrown Pastel's canvas or user limits, ClientTweak gives you unlimited projects and members at a flat price. If one active review at a time is enough, Pastel's free plan may be all you need.
Pastel's plans page lists a Free Forever plan for one user and one active canvas. ClientTweak has a free trial but no free plan.
