What is Marker.io?
Marker.io stops waiting for bug reports and starts scanning sites for accessibility issues.
Marker.io began as a widget for reporting website bugs and spent the past year adding AI to every step: translation, rewriting, title generation and an MCP server that lets coding agents fix issues from a Marker URL. In late October it launched Website Monitoring, which scans chosen pages on a schedule with 90 WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility checks and turns failures into issues.
What is Plausible?
Plausible removes the goal setup step from funnels.
Plausible's 2026 work centres on funnels: strict order, time comparison, revenue tracking, flexible steps, and now funnels that no longer require goals to be configured first. Around that sit the AI Assistants referral channel, chart annotations, full-URL page reports and user journeys.

Marker.io
3.8ANALYTICS
Marker.io stops waiting for bug reports and starts scanning sites for accessibility issues.
◆ Current state
Marker.io began as a widget for reporting website bugs and spent the past year adding AI to every step: translation, rewriting, title generation and an MCP server that lets coding agents fix issues from a Marker URL. In late October it launched Website Monitoring, which scans chosen pages on a schedule with 90 WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility checks and turns failures into issues.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from collecting problems people report to finding problems on its own, and then handing them to coding agents through MCP. Accessibility is the first monitoring check, and the release title says it is only the start. Workflow statuses and analytics fill in the team side.
◆ Prediction
Expect more monitoring checks beyond accessibility, since the release frames accessibility as the first. How monitoring is priced is not clear from the entries.
Plausible
2.5ANALYTICS
Plausible removes the goal setup step from funnels.
◆ Current state
Plausible's 2026 work centres on funnels: strict order, time comparison, revenue tracking, flexible steps, and now funnels that no longer require goals to be configured first. Around that sit the AI Assistants referral channel, chart annotations, full-URL page reports and user journeys.
◆ Where it's heading
Each funnel release lowers the effort needed to answer a conversion question, and the latest removes the last setup step. Plausible is turning funnels from a configured report into something a user can build on the spot, while keeping the product's simple-analytics position.
◆ Prediction
The next releases likely continue reducing setup across reports, for example building segments or goals inline from existing data. The entries do not show a pricing or plan change tied to funnels.
