Comparison
TraceBug vs BugHerd
BugHerd pins feedback on the page. TraceBug captures what actually broke underneath it.
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 BugHerd
✓Technical evidence, not annotations — console errors, failed requests, DOM replay, and repro steps captured automatically
✓AI-agent ready — reports are machine-readable over a local MCP server, with a generated failing test
✓Free and open source — BugHerd is a paid per-seat product
✓Works on any site immediately — no project setup, no embed script, no client invitations
✓Local-first and private — nothing uploads unless you export it somewhere
✓Built for the fix, not the task board — the report contains what a developer (or agent) needs to reproduce and resolve
When BugHerd might be a better fit
•BugHerd's kanban task board and client-feedback workflow are the product — TraceBug has no task management
•BugHerd lets non-technical clients report by clicking the page element, with zero installs on their side
•BugHerd has agency features: guest reporters, project-per-client, feedback triage
