How Vizhound works

  1. Vizhound start screen with a box to paste a prototype link
    1

    Paste a link

    Any page that opens in a browser: a Lovable, v0, Bolt or Vercel preview, or your live site. Nothing to install on it.

  2. A comment being written on a chart heading, with type tags for bug, design, copy, idea and question
    2

    Click anything to comment

    Your note stays pinned to the element. It keeps what the element is, its styles and a screen grab, so nobody has to ask which button you meant.

  3. The exported AI fix prompt listing each note with its selector
    3

    Copy one prompt for your AI tool

    Every note, numbered, with where it is and what matters. Paste it into Lovable, v0, Cursor or Claude and the fixes come back together.

Try it on your site

Takes about ten seconds. No account needed.

Why people pick Vizhound

Notes an AI can find

Each comment keeps the element's selector, its text and the styles that matter. The AI doesn't have to guess which heading you meant.

One prompt, no setup

Copy the whole review and paste it into Lovable, v0, Cursor or Claude. There is nothing to connect first.

Room to grow for less

Pro covers unlimited projects and reviewers, where Pastel's first paid plan covers three canvases and two users.

Where Pastel is the better pick

Pastel is a website annotation tool for agencies and marketing teams, which also reviews images and PDFs. It does things Vizhound doesn't:

  • Review of images, PDFs and uploaded design files, not only websites.
  • Client approvals, feedback deadlines and reminders.
  • Integrations with Trello, Asana, Jira, ClickUp and Monday on the Team plan.
  • A longer track record with agencies and marketing teams.

Questions about switching

Both let people comment on a live site from a link. Vizhound is built for sites made with AI tools, so each note keeps the element and its styles and the review exports as one prompt.
Both have a free plan. Vizhound's covers one project with every feature and unlimited reviewers. Pastel's covers one user and one active canvas.
No. Vizhound reviews web pages. If you also need to mark up images, PDFs or design files, Pastel is the better fit.
No. Anyone with your share link can view the review and add comments.
Yes. Paste the preview link, leave your notes, and copy them back to the tool as one prompt.
When you review more than websites, or need client approvals and deadlines built in. It is a good tool for that job.
