# Lite Feedback vs Marker.io

Lite Feedback vs Marker.io: compare a visitor comment widget with Marker.io’s visual bug reporting for websites and web apps.

Marker.io is a visual bug reporter that files annotated screenshots into Jira, GitHub, and similar. Lite Feedback is for real users who will type a message, not capture the DOM.

Marker.io sits in the same family as Usersnap: reporters screenshot the page, mark it up, and send a ticket with technical metadata into the tools developers already use. Agencies and QA teams love it.

Site visitors generally will not complete that flow. Lite Feedback is the production-shaped version of “tell us what is wrong”: one button, one box, automatic context, then an internal board instead of a Jira create screen.

If your reporters are employees or clients, Marker.io is probably correct. If your reporters are customers, Lite Feedback is probably correct. Some teams keep Marker.io on staging and Lite Feedback on production.

## Choose Lite Feedback if

- The reporter is a customer or anonymous visitor
- You want AI sorting and replies from the same dashboard
- You need a free, cookie-free widget on production
- Jira is optional, not the destination for every comment

## Choose Marker.io if

- Annotated screenshots are the deliverable
- You live in Jira/GitHub issue creation
- Staging QA is the main use case
- Guest reporting with markup is required
