Feedbucket is for the bug round; Pastel is for the approval round. Feedbucket sends client bug reports to Asana or Jira from $39 a month billed annually, with no free plan. Pastel reviews live sites through its own proxy, plus PDFs, emails and images, with unlimited guest reviewers and a free plan of 1 active canvas.
A website feedback tool for agencies, built so the client never needs an account and the agency works from inside Asana or Jira rather than from the tool itself.
A review and approval tool for creative work, layering comments over a live site through its own proxy as well as over PDFs, emails and uploaded images.
Feedbucket is a website feedback tool for web agencies. The client leaves feedback on the staging site with nothing to install, and the team handles it from inside its project management tool, with Asana, Jira, ClickUp, Trello, Basecamp, Monday, GitHub, Linear and GitLab connected from the entry plan. Client reporters and projects are unlimited; the plan counts team members, two on Pro and twenty five on Business.
Pastel is a review and approval tool for creative work. It layers comments over a live website through its own proxy, with no code snippet or extension to install, and over PDFs, emails, uploaded images and uploaded video. Guest reviewers are unlimited on every plan including the free one, which holds a single active canvas. Its MCP server is described as reading a comment, making the change in the codebase and resolving the comment itself.

The third option
Notarus is for the round Feedbucket serves, a bug on a live page, and it attaches what Pastel states it lacks and Feedbucket holds to Business or leaves unstated: session replay, console logs, network requests and the environment on every report, on a free plan with unlimited seats and 5 projects. A named client access follows the project without a seat, and every panel action is also an MCP tool.
It is no use for Pastel's round. It takes feedback on a live web page only, never a PDF, an email, an image or a Figma file, and it needs its widget on the page rather than a proxy in front of it. There is no mobile SDK and no Intercom or Zendesk integration.
The pricing page carries the three prices and the limits behind them.
Pastel, at the bottom: its free plan runs indefinitely with one active canvas, and its Pro is $35 a month or $29 billed annually for two users and three canvases. Feedbucket has no free plan and its Pro is $49 a month or $39 billed annually for two team members. Pastel's Team at $119 a month is where its canvases stop being counted and its trackers appear.
Only from Team, at $119 a month or $99 billed annually, where Trello, Asana, Jira, ClickUp and Monday connect. Feedbucket connects those and more, including GitHub, Linear and GitLab, from its entry plan. Pastel lists neither GitHub nor Linear on any plan.
Pastel does not, on any plan, and says so. Feedbucket lists console logs under Business at $89 a month while its feature pages describe them as captured automatically, and the two statements have not been reconciled on its site. Feedbucket states neither session replay nor network requests; Pastel states it captures neither.
Pastel, if the deliverable is approved rather than fixed: emails, PDFs and images are reviewed beside the live site, reviewers are unlimited on every plan, and nothing is installed on the client's site. Feedbucket is the better tool once the site is live and the comments are bugs bound for a tracker.
No. Pastel layers its comments over a live website through its own proxy, so nothing is installed on the site being reviewed, and it reviews PDFs, emails, uploaded images and uploaded video the same way. Feedbucket needs its widget installed on the site; the client installs nothing and needs no account, but the agency adds the script. That is what separates them for a page you cannot touch: Pastel reviews it, Feedbucket cannot. Notarus is on Feedbucket's side and needs its widget on the page.
