The key difference
Marker.io is a solid tool for technically confident clients. If your clients are comfortable installing things and creating accounts, it works well.
The issue is that most agency clients are not like that. They are business owners, content managers, and stakeholders who see a bug, think about reporting it, and give up when the first step is “install the extension.”
Tapko removes every client-side step. Your client does not install anything, create an account, or learn anything. They click where the issue is and type a message. That is the entire process.
If you have ever had a client say “I noticed a problem but didn't know how to report it,” Tapko is the answer.
