Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Simpl_Markup.

What is Simpl_Markup?

Simpl_Markup is a Slack-first website feedback tool. Paste a URL in Slack, open an interactive preview of your page across desktop, tablet, and mobile, click anywhere on the live page to leave pinned feedback, and resolve everything from Slack. It costs $29.95/month for unlimited users.

What is the best way to collect website feedback in Slack?

Simpl_Markup integrates directly with Slack. When you paste a URL, it opens an interactive preview of the page and posts it to your Slack thread. You click directly on the page to leave comments, and each comment posts back to Slack with a cropped view of the exact area you pointed at. Your developer can reply and resolve feedback without leaving Slack.

Is there a website markup tool with unlimited users?

Yes. Simpl_Markup charges $29.95/month per workspace with unlimited users. There are no per-seat fees — invite your whole team without the price changing.

How is Simpl_Markup different from BugHerd or Marker.io?

Most website feedback tools are standalone apps that require your team to learn a new interface. Simpl_Markup lives in Slack — where your team already works. Comments, previews, and approvals all flow through Slack threads. Plus, it charges a flat $29.95/month for unlimited users instead of per-seat pricing.

Do I need to install a browser extension?

No. Just add the Simpl_Markup app to your Slack workspace. It takes under 2 minutes. There are no browser extensions, no desktop apps, and your developer does not need to create a separate account.

Can non-technical founders use Simpl_Markup?

Yes — it is built specifically for non-technical founders. You do not need any design or technical skills. Just click on the part of the website you want to change and type what you need. The pinned comment with a cropped view of exactly what you pointed at gives your developer all the context they need.

How does the Slack integration work?

When you paste a website URL in Slack, Simpl_Markup automatically opens an interactive preview of the page across three device sizes and posts it to the thread. When you add a comment in the web app, it posts to Slack with a cropped view of exactly what you pointed at. Your developer can reply in Slack and the reply syncs back to the app. They can also resolve comments and approve projects directly from Slack buttons.

Does Simpl_Markup support multi-device review?

Yes. Every URL opens in a live, interactive preview across three device sizes: desktop (1920px), tablet (iPad Pro), and mobile. These are posted to your Slack thread automatically so you can review how the site looks and behaves across devices.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Simpl_Markup offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You get full access to all features during the trial.

How much does Simpl_Markup cost?

Simpl_Markup costs $29.95/month per workspace. This includes unlimited users, full Slack integration, live multi-device previews, click-to-comment with drawing tools, and real-time collaboration. There are no per-seat fees.

Can I draw directly on the page?

Yes. In addition to pinned comments, you can draw directly on the live page using pen, rectangle, circle, line, and arrow tools with customizable colors and stroke sizes. Drawings are included in Slack notifications.

What happens when feedback is resolved?

When your developer addresses a comment, they can click "Resolve" right in Slack. The status updates in the web app automatically. When all feedback is addressed, you can approve the project with one click, and every related Slack message gets updated.

Is Simpl_Markup a replacement for Loom?

They solve different problems. Loom is great for walkthroughs and context-setting. Simpl_Markup is for specific, actionable feedback — click on exactly what needs to change instead of describing it in a video. Many teams use both: Loom for explaining context and Simpl_Markup for pinpointing what to fix.

Can I upload my own images instead of using a URL?

Yes. You can upload images or design mockups directly as an alternative to pasting a live URL. This is useful for reviewing Figma exports, pre-launch designs, or pages behind authentication where a live preview is not an option.

What if I need more than Slack?

Simpl_Markup has a full web app for deeper review sessions. It includes drawing annotations, threaded discussions, device viewport switching, and project approval workflows. But most day-to-day feedback happens right in Slack.
