Ruttl is built for your dev team's stack. Drafty is built for your client's inbox.
The fastest ruttl alternative for designer→client reviews: share a public link to a doc, PDF, design, or live site — your client pins feedback to the exact spot with no account, no script to install, no browser extension. Works on whatever you built the deliverable in.
The feedback you're getting today
Scattered across iMessage and Slack — every note a guess at which version, which element.
Every message here is a comment that belonged on the artifact. In Drafty they tap the exact spot and the note pins there — threaded, on one link that's always the current version. No “which one,” no screenshots, no “FINAL.html.”

How it works
Share a link — any artifact
Drop your doc, PDF, or design into Drafty and send the link. No script installation, no asking the client to install anything. Works whether you built it in Figma, v0, Notion, or by hand.
Client pins feedback to the exact spot
They hover, click, and leave a note anchored to the element. No sign-up, no extension, no "the bit near the top" guesswork. Works on their phone or desktop.
Claude reads the thread and ships the fix
Feedback lands in one threaded place on the same link. Claude picks it up in your terminal, makes the change, and posts the update back — the client sees the revision on the same URL.
Why people switch
- Ruttl's script install gates clients from commenting until you've set up the paid plan
- Ruttl is website-only — your PDF brief or Figma export lives somewhere else
- Feedback arrives scattered across iMessage, email, and Loom videos
- Public link, no script required — Client is commenting in one click from their phone
- Cross-artifact review: doc, PDF, design, website — One tool for the whole deliverable set, not just the live site
- Anchored threads pinned to the element — One source of truth, no transcribing voice notes into tasks
Who it's for
Send the client a brand guide or mockup link. They pin notes on the exact element — no account, no extension.
Share the deliverable doc. The client annotates inline — and every note is threaded, not buried in email.
Drop your v0 app or spec doc in a thread. Reviewers comment without signing up for anything.
Questions
- What is the main difference between Drafty and ruttl?
- Ruttl requires a JS script installed on your website before clients can comment — that means it's limited to sites you control and have set up on a paid plan. Drafty works on any artifact (docs, PDFs, designs, live sites) via a public link with no install and no account required.
- Does my client need to create an account to leave feedback?
- No. They open the Drafty link and comment as a guest — no signup, no login, no extension to install.
- Can Drafty collect feedback on PDFs and design files, not just websites?
- Yes. Drafty works on any artifact: a PDF brief, a Figma export, a doc, or a live website. Ruttl is built primarily for live websites with a JS script.
- Is there a free plan?
- Yes — you can publish your first canvas and collect comments for free, no card required. Ruttl's meaningful script-based plan starts at $36/month.
- When does ruttl still make sense?
- If your team needs Jira or Asana task sync with live CSS editing on the site itself, ruttl is genuinely strong there. Drafty is the better fit when the workflow is designer→client review across any artifact, not internal dev-team bug tracking.
- Does Drafty work on mobile for my client?
- Yes. The public link renders and accepts pinned comments on any phone or tablet — no app to download.
