Ybug vs Gleap: Bug reporting without the support suite
Gleap has grown into an AI customer support platform: chatbot, help center, ticketing, and bug reporting in one widget. If what you need is visual feedback on your website, Ybug does that one job well, for a fraction of the price.
The deciding question is how much tool you want to adopt. Choose Ybug if you need annotated screenshots, console logs, and website feedback flowing into the project tools you already use. Choose Gleap if you’re shopping for a whole AI support platform: chatbot, help center, and outbound messaging included.
How Ybug compares to Gleap
Gleap’s bug reporting is genuinely good. It also comes attached to a live chat, an AI bot, and support-platform pricing. Here’s how the two stack up when what you’re buying is website feedback.

Pricing for a small team
Flat: €13/mo covers 3 members, €29/mo covers 7
$49/mo covers one seat; unlimited seats from $149/mo
Support-platform pricing for a feedback-widget job
Gleap’s Starter plan is $49/month and covers exactly one seat and one project. The moment a teammate joins the triage, you’re on the Team plan at $149/month, and AI features meter their own token usage on top. Fair pricing for a support platform. A lot for bug reports.
Ybug pricing is flat. BASIC covers 3 team members for €13/month, STARTUP covers 7 for €29/month. Reporters are always unlimited and free, and there’s no usage metering waiting at the end of the month.
Gleap’s widget carries the whole suite: live chat, the Kai AI bot, a help center, surveys. Adopting it is a support-stack decision, and it usually involves whoever owns your chat and your docs.
Ybug is one button on your site. Visitors click it, annotate a screenshot, and send. Your chat, help center, and support workflows stay exactly as they are.
Priced for small teams, not support departments
Gleap starts at $49/month for a single seat and one project. Unlimited seats start at $149/month, and AI usage is billed separately by tokens. For a 3-person web team collecting client feedback, that’s a support department’s budget.
Ybug charges one flat price. BASIC covers 3 team members for €13/month, STARTUP covers 7 for €29/month, and every plan includes unlimited reporters.
Plugs into your tools instead of replacing them
Gleap works best when it becomes the hub: tickets in its inbox, docs in its knowledge base, conversations in its messenger. That’s the point of an all-in-one.
Ybug feeds the hub you already have. Reports flow into Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Trello, GitHub, Slack, and 25+ other tools, and you can reply to reporters by email straight from the Ybug dashboard.
A free plan that stays free
Gleap offers a 14-day trial, then it’s paid plans only. Fine for a support platform you’ve committed to, less fine for a side project or the occasional client site.
Ybug has a Free Forever plan with unlimited reporters, plus a 10-day trial of the paid features. Small projects can stay free for good.

Here’s what our users say
Simple, effective tool perfectly integrated into our workflow
Ybug makes collecting feedback and bugs extremely smooth, even for non-technical users. Annotated screenshots, automatic environment information (browser, console, URL, screen size), and integrations with our project management tools save considerable time during testing and support phases. Installation is quick, the interface is clear, and the team behind the product is responsive and attentive.

Ybug user experience after more than 3 years
I like the simplicity of the parametrization, yet the sophisticated functionality in the background. It is a perfect tool for implementation projects, with no time you will have a prepared solution fur bug tracking and ticket collections. Have been using this tool with e-mail + redmine integration and it was just really good. From user perspective it is absolutely simple, project is defined by the web url where they are standing at and they focus only on the problem reporting. All technicall info is sent automatically.

Ybug is intuitive and easy to use for someone who by nature is not technical. It is quite flexible - where some tools are limited to bug reporting, we use Ybug not only to report bugs, but to also solicit feedback on specific pages and products. Ybug also provides an invaluable screenshot that enables a customer to show us the exact issue. On top of this, service is excellent.
EscolaSoft use ybug on daily basis and find it very useful.
Easy to install process, Jira and Github integration. We found a bug with taking screenshots in an iframe, which was submitted and fixed by the really responsive team.
Mateusz W.
CTO at EscolaSoft
Great software for visual bug reporting!
We use it daily to help client capture feedback and send this feedback directly to our project management tool basecamp.
Noah M.
CEO at Webwirkung
Easy to use and integrates nicely with our PM tools
There are 3 main features that I like the most: 1. Unlike other feedback software that we used before, Ybug is easier to launch for each project. It typically takes 2-3 minutes to add a project to Ybug and start sending feedback. 2. It has a nice Chrome extension, which allows to capture screenshots on any website and tag to any project that we are currently working on. 3. Ybug integrates nicely with Teamwork (our PM tool), so each feedback that is submitted on the development websites - is automatically created as a task for our development team.

Project manager
Easy to setup, easy to use
One central tool to get bug reports from non tech users, with a lot of information that help the dev team to understand the problem (url, screenshot, etc)
The Chrome widget is very powerful. Internal users just have to install it, and they can immediately report bug or else.
For small teams, yes, by a wide margin. Gleap’s Starter plan is $49/month for a single seat and one project; unlimited seats start at $149/month, with AI usage billed on top. Ybug’s flat plans start at €13/month for 3 team members, reporters are always free, and there’s a Free Forever plan.
Can Ybug replace Gleap’s bug reporting?
If you use Gleap mainly for bug reports and website feedback, yes: you get annotated screenshots, console logs, screen recording, custom fields, and 25+ integrations. If you also rely on Gleap’s live chat, AI bot, or help center, Ybug won’t replace those, and that’s by design.
Does Ybug capture session replays like Gleap?
Ybug offers screen recording: reporters record their screen while reproducing the issue (STARTUP plan and up), and the video arrives attached to the report next to the console logs and environment data. It’s reporter-initiated rather than an automatic rolling replay.
Is Ybug hard to install?
Not at all. It's just a simple JavaScript snippet. If you use WordPress, we even have a plugin. You can be up and running in under 5 minutes.
Can clients submit feedback without logging in?
Yes. With Ybug, clients can submit annotated feedback directly from your site without logging in or creating guest accounts. It removes the friction that often stops clients from reporting issues.
Does Ybug really integrate with Jira/ClickUp as well as Gleap?
We sure do. Ybug works seamlessly with Jira, ClickUp, and plenty of other tools. You can find the full list on our integrations page.
