  • Simple Commenter is exactly what I was looking for

    It is lightweight, easy to set up, and makes managing comments much more convenient. What I appreciate most is that the developer has been actively releasing many new features and improvements. It is great to see the product continuing to evolve while staying simple and easy to use. Highly recommended

  • Parfait

    Simple, effective, the perfect complement to the Simple Commenter service, which is clearly the best in class for this type of tool (and I’ve tried a ton of them). Perfect for getting useful feedback from web agency clients, which is usually no easy task…

  • Simply the Best

    Was an early adopter when Aleksander released this in response to Markup.io's rediculous price change. It was great then and just keeps getting better. Exactly what I always wanted in a feedback tool and now the WP integration just takes it over the top. Made a request for the widget to be disabled in my page builder of choice and within a week the fix was implemented and released. Great product, Great support.

  • Excellent plug-in for web designers

    I've been using this for a while now. It's very easy to use, gets regular updates, and communication with your customer is smooth and fast. Your customer can clearly indicate where they want to change text or photos and also provide the correct text or photos immediately. No more wasting time searching for material and placing it.

  • Love how easy Simple Commenter makes it

    I use Simple Commenter on every site for communication between my assistant and me. It has completely changed our workflow for the better. No more back and forth emails, messages or Click up notes. Support is great and the developer is very open to ideas and feedback which is a real bonus.
