In fairness

What Pastel does well

Pastel has a free plan, for 1 user with 1 canvas, and ClickNote does not. Its pricing page also says no setup is needed, and that comments are layered over your live site through Pastel’s own proxy, where ClickNote needs one script tag on the site.

Where ClickNote is not the right fitClickNote sends notifications to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord and Google Chat on every plan, and its Agency and Scale plans have an outgoing webhook. It has no built-in integration with Jira, Asana, Trello or Linear: those are reached through the webhook and a tool such as Zapier or Make. It has no browser extension and no video or session recording. Notes also leave ClickNote as JSON, as Markdown, as a Copy for AI agent brief or through the MCP endpoint. If your process depends on a built-in integration with one of those tools, check that first. ClickNote also needs its snippet on the site being reviewed. If you cannot add a script tag to a client’s site, Pastel’s pricing page says it needs no setup. And for one person with one site at a time, Pastel’s free plan costs nothing.

Where ClickNote differs

Your name and logo on every plan

ClickNote shows your agency’s name and logo on the widget and on every email to clients from the Starter plan up, and adds your own subdomain and your own sender address on Agency and Scale. Pastel’s pricing page does not list custom branding or a custom domain on any plan, so ask them if you need either.

10 seats for $59 a month

Pastel Team is $119 a month and starts at 5 users, with $24 for each additional user. ClickNote Agency is $59 a month for 10 team seats, and Scale is $99 for 25. Reviewers are unlimited on both.

Notes a developer can act on

Every ClickNote note carries the CSS selector and XPath, the element’s text and HTML, a screenshot, the device, and where the element lives in the theme: the Shopify section and block, or the WordPress template and the Divi, Elementor, WPBakery or Gutenberg id.
