WebPinch vs Ruttl
Ruttl lets reviewers edit the live page as they comment. WebPinch keeps the page untouched and puts the work on a board.
Free to start · No credit card · Guests don’t need an account
Ruttl's signature feature is in-place editing — a reviewer can change copy or CSS on the live page and show you what they mean rather than describe it. That's genuinely useful for design revisions. WebPinch takes the opposite stance: the page stays exactly as it is, and everything a reviewer says becomes a task with the screenshot and environment attached. Both are per-seat priced within a few dollars of each other.

Where Ruttl is stronger
No tool wins on everything. These are the cases where Ruttl is the better answer.
Editing beats describing
Ruttl's own pitch is making live site changes from the comments themselves. Letting a client rewrite the headline in place and hand it back beats three rounds of "make it punchier". WebPinch has no equivalent.
Versioning and device sizes
Version history and 15 preset device sizes on the Pro plan make design revisions easier to track across breakpoints than WebPinch's simpler viewport switcher.
Beyond websites
Ruttl covers mobile app and PDF review as well as web pages, which matters if your deliverables aren't only sites.

Common questions
How much does Ruttl cost?
+
Ruttl's pricing page lists a free Basic plan and a Pro plan at $18/month per user with unlimited projects, pages and comments, plus a custom Business tier. WebPinch is $15 per seat per month, or $144 per seat per year.
Does Ruttl have a free plan?
+
Yes, the Basic plan — 1 project, 5 pages, 10 comments and 1 GB of storage. Its seat count is ambiguous on Ruttl's own page: the plan card says up to 5 users, the comparison table below it says 1. WebPinch's free tier allows 2 personal projects plus an organisation, with no comment cap.
Can WebPinch edit a live website like Ruttl?
+
No. WebPinch deliberately leaves the page untouched — it pins comments to the DOM element and captures a screenshot. Making live site changes from the feedback is Ruttl's headline differentiator, not ours.
Do guests need accounts?
+
Ruttl lists unlimited guests on Pro and Business; its free Basic plan is listed as unlimited on the plan card and capped at 5 in the comparison table. WebPinch guests comment through a share link with no sign-up and never consume a seat, on any plan.
Which is better for QA?
+
WebPinch, if the output needs to be tracked work — every pin becomes a board card with assignee, status and priority, and the site audit runs in the same place. Ruttl is stronger when the output is a design change.
