The fit

Choose the workflow, not just the feature checklist.

MarkUp.io may be the better fit when its broader collaboration workflow is the priority. PreviewSend is designed for freelancers who want hosting, review, AI handoff, and sign-off around one static client build.

  • One stable hosted URL stays with the client through every static-build revision.
  • Review comments and approval stay bound to the immutable version the client saw.
  • Unresolved feedback becomes a structured prompt without exporting tasks into another system.
  • Reviews turn off per project when the hosted preview becomes the delivered artifact.

Questions before switching

Is PreviewSend a full replacement for every MarkUp.io use case?

No. MarkUp.io supports a broad range of file types and team workflows. PreviewSend is narrower: hosted static websites, client review, AI revision handoff, and version sign-off.

Do clients need PreviewSend accounts?

No. They enter a display name on the preview and comment from the page. Named approver links also work without an account.

Can I keep the site online after review?

Yes. The hosted URL stays live, and you can turn reviews off for that project without moving the site.
