Depends

Should I use Markup?

MarkUp is the design collaboration platform for feedback on digital content - markup.io

· 1 week ago

Buy if you're a designer, freelancer, or agency needing simple visual feedback on sites, PDFs, and images. Skip if you're price-sensitive after the 2026 increase or want developer workflow tools; many cheaper rivals exist.
