Notes on the frame

The Wipster alternative that runs the project, not just the review
Timecode notes, versions and approvals, plus tasks, estimates, invoices and a client portal. A free plan, and one price per studio.
The short answer
Wipster is a simple, fast review tool: frame-accurate comments, version compare and an extension for Premiere Pro and After Effects. You can set it up in an evening.
But it has no tasks, estimates, invoices or time tracking. There is no free plan either, and the Team plan is $25 for every seat.
Basalt PMS gives you the same timecode review, and puts the project, the money and the client around it. Start free, then $19 a month per studio.

What people ask.
Straight answers.
The questions that come up when choosing between Basalt and Wipster.
For reviewing an edit, yes: timecode comments, versions, side-by-side compare, a Premiere Pro panel and a client link with no signup. If you live in After Effects and want notes there, Wipster has an extension for it as well.
