For most solo freelancers, Lite at $18 a month is the plan to pick: 5 client projects, guest links for clients and a spare seat if you bring in help. The Free plan is enough when you are logging your own bugs on one project and no client needs to leave feedback.
Free or Lite: the honest split
| Free | Lite |
Price | $0 | $18 a month |
Members | 1 | 2 |
Projects | 1 | 5 |
Screenshots, annotation and video | Yes | Yes |
Guest feedback for clients | No | Yes |
Browser info on tasks | No | Yes |
Trello and Monday.com integrations | No | Yes |
MCP server for AI assistants | No | Yes |
Free works when you are the only person raising tasks, for example testing a side project before you show anyone. It stops working the moment a client needs to comment themselves, because guest feedback needs Lite or above.
Every new account gets 14 days on Mega with no card, then moves to Free automatically and your projects stay put. If a client review falls inside those 14 days, use it to decide whether guest links earn their $18.
Juggling five projects
Treat each client site as one project and keep phases inside it. Build feedback, launch snags and retainer tweaks for the same site can all sit on one board, so you are not spending your 5 projects on 2 clients. If you reach a sixth live site, Essential at $40 a month removes the project limit and takes you to 5 members.
Five projects also means five sets of deadlines, so use the same review habit every time:
Put the script on staging and confirm the widget appears.
Send the guest link with a firm date.
Leave tasks alone until the window closes, then read them in one sitting.
Group your questions into one email and mark tasks complete as you finish them.
The guest feedback guide shows where to find the link.
A message to send with the link
Adapt this for your own client. The name and date are placeholders.
Hi Sam,The new site is ready for you to review: [paste guest link]Open the link, click the part of the page you want to change andtype your note. There is nothing to install and no login.Please leave everything by 5pm on Friday 20th November. Anythingraised after that goes into the next round.
One deadline and one place to comment means you are not rebuilding a list from your inbox and your phone. Our website feedback email templates cover the follow-ups.
Scope protection without the awkward conversation
A task is a written request, which turns scope into a simple comparison. Here is a hypothetical: your proposal covers five page templates, and during review the client raises a task asking for a new blog archive page. The request is on the board in their own words, so your reply can quote it:
Thanks for this. The blog archive page is outside the fivetemplates in our proposal, so I've kept it separate from thisround. I can quote for it now or add it to phase two, whicheversuits you.
Tag anything like that as out of scope and you have a list to quote from when the review ends. Our guide to managing revision rounds covers how to write the limit into the proposal in the first place.
Looking professional on a budget
One link, no account to create and a clear deadline reads as organised, whatever the size of your business. The widget can sit on the left, right or bottom of the page, so it stays clear of a cookie banner or chat button during the review. It is invisible to the public unless they have the link, so you can run a review on a live site without customers seeing it.
When a task comes back unclear, our guide to reproducing a bug has the questions to ask.
