Why teams switch from Marker.io to Ybug

Key differences that matter in daily work

The "Forever Free" plan

Marker.io only offers a free trial. Once it ends, you have to pay or lose access. This creates a barrier for freelancers, small projects, or teams just starting out.

Ybug supports the developer community. We offer a generous Free Forever plan that lets you collect feedback and fix bugs on small projects without paying a cent.

Grow your team, not your costs

Marker.io's starter plan caps you at 3 members. To add a fourth person, you are often forced to jump to a significantly more expensive tier.

Ybug is built for affordable scaling. You can upgrade to our Startup plan—which supports 7 team members—and still pay significantly less than Marker.io's entry-level package for just 3 people.

Lightweight and performance-first

Marker.io's script can be heavy, impacting your site's load time and Core Web Vitals. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your Google PageSpeed score just to collect feedback.

Ybug is obsessed with performance. Our widget is engineered to be ultra-lightweight and asynchronous. It captures deep technical data (logs, environment info) without slowing down your website.

Same power, less complexity

Marker.io has become a robust corporate tool, which often means more settings, more complexity, and a steeper learning curve for clients.

Ybug gives you the same professional integrations and console logs while keeping the experience lean and fast. It's the tool for teams who want to set it and forget it.

Key differences that matter in daily work

Cost vs. value

Ybug delivers the same core utility for significantly less money; Marker.io charges a premium for the brand.

Free plan vs. paid-only

Ybug offers a Free Forever plan; Marker.io forces you to pay after the trial ends.

Affordable scaling vs. seat caps

Ybug lets you add more team members cheaply; Marker.io limits you to 3 users unless you upgrade to expensive plans.

Lightweight vs. heavy

Ybug prioritizes site performance with an async widget; Marker.io can be heavier on your client's load times.
