Comparison
TraceBug vs BetterBugs
Same evidence capture — but local-first, open source, and built for your AI agent, not a cloud dashboard.
Try TraceBug in 30 seconds:
$ npm install tracebug-sdk
import TraceBug from "tracebug-sdk";
TraceBug.init({ projectId: "my-app" });
TraceBug.init({ projectId: "my-app" });
Why developers choose TraceBug over BetterBugs
✓Local-first — the report is one self-contained offline .html; BetterBugs uploads captures to their cloud workspace
✓AI-agent ready — a local MCP server hands the report to Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf; plus a generated failing Playwright test
✓No account, ever — capture and export without signing up; BetterBugs requires an account to share
✓Free and open source (MIT) — inspect exactly what's captured; no per-seat plans for core capture
✓Secrets auto-masked at capture (tokens, keys) before they ever enter the file
✓SDK + extension + MCP + CLI in one project — the whole workflow, not just the capture step
When BetterBugs might be a better fit
•BetterBugs has a hosted team workspace with shared links and comments out of the box
•BetterBugs offers cloud history across devices and teammates
•BetterBugs's Slack/Jira integrations are configured once per team, not per user
