DropComments
An alternative to tools that need an account
Comments without the sign-up
Team tools with accounts are great for the people who use them every day. For a client or a stakeholder who only needs to leave a few notes, DropComments asks for just a name.
Drop a fileFree to start. Reviewers comment with just a name.
When a name is enough
Accounts make sense for a team: permissions, history, everything in one workspace. For someone outside it who’s been asked for quick feedback, creating an account is one more step before they can help.
With DropComments they open the link, type their name and comment. Anyone who wants more, like their Drops on every device, can sign in with Google.

Questions
How do you know who wrote a comment?
Each reviewer gives a name, and their browser keeps a secret that ties their comments to them, so they stay theirs when they come back.
Do I need an account?
To share a link, yes: you sign in with Google. Until then your Drops stay in your browser.
What does Pro add?
Pro ($9 a month) keeps Drops open, makes them private to the people you invite, and reopens ended ones.
