Lasso vs Pastel
Pastel is built for client reviews. You share a canvas link and anyone can leave feedback without an account. Lasso is built for teams who comment on the web all day, including pages behind a login, internal tools and competitor sites, and want every note pinned to the live page with a screenshot.

|---|---|---|
| How you review | Comment on the live page in Chrome, Edge or Brave | Comment on the site inside a Pastel canvas, loaded through its proxy |
| Pages behind a login | Already works, because it runs where you are signed in | Log in inside the canvas in Browse mode, and staging servers may need Pastel’s IPs allowed |
| Free plan | Yes, unlimited comments in one collection | Yes, 1 user and 1 canvas |
| Paid plans | $17 per user a month billed yearly, or $20 monthly | Pro $29 a month yearly for 2 users and 3 canvases, Team from $99 a month yearly for 5 users |

Why teams pick Lasso
Screenshots without asking
Every comment saves a screenshot of the spot you clicked, so you can still see what the page looked like after it changes.
Super links
Send a comment link in Slack or email and your teammate lands on the live page at that exact spot, with every pin around it.
When Pastel is the better pick
Pick Pastel if most of your feedback comes from clients who will never install anything. Its no-login guest reviews are hard to beat for that, and it also handles images, PDFs and video.
Questions people ask
Is Lasso a good Pastel alternative?

It depends on team size. Lasso is free for one person and one collection, and Studio is $17 per user a month billed yearly. Pastel has a free plan with one canvas, Pro at $29 a month yearly for two users, and Team from $99 a month yearly for five users.
