In short
Pastel and Notiamo both let clients comment on a live website and both connect to AI agents over MCP. Pastel layers comments on the live site through its own proxy, with no setup, and reviewers need no account. Notiamo runs on the site itself with one script tag, so comments sit on the pages your visitors see. Notiamo has a flat price per workspace with unlimited team members, and hosts data in Germany.
