DIVE vs pls-fix
DIVE vs pls-fix
pls-fix focuses on comment-pinning bugs. DIVE covers comments plus full visual editing, MCP handoff, and structured exports.
pls-fix is a specialised tool for filing visual bug reports with annotations. DIVE is a broader design surface, comment pins are one feature among many (Layers tree, Design controls, Changes tab, MCP).
Pick DIVE when
- You want to fix the bug, not just annotate it.
- You want to ship the structured diff to an AI agent.
- You want one tool for designers, developers, QA, PMs, and content.
Pick pls-fix when
- All you need is comment pins on screenshots.
- You don't need to edit the page itself.
