Stop paying a premium for basic sticky notes
PageProofer starts at $39/month without offering any free tier for smaller teams.
With Ybug's Free Forever plan, you already get deep developer diagnostics. And when you're ready to scale, our Basic plan starts at just €10 flat. Get better tools for your developers and lower your monthly software bill.
You need to fix complex web apps, not just leave basic comments on a design. While PageProofer stops at the visual layer, your team needs a true diagnostic tool.
Ybug is lean and built strictly for web QA. We do one thing perfectly—giving your developers the exact code-level context they need to resolve the issue.
True developer context, not just screenshots
PageProofer is great at drawing a red box on a screen and logging the user's browser. But when a checkout flow breaks, visual comments alone often aren't enough.
Ybug gives developers the complete technical picture. We automatically capture the environment, JavaScript console logs, and network errors so your team has the actual diagnostic data they need.
A Free Forever plan and scalable pricing
PageProofer forces you into a $39/month base plan right out of the gate, with no free tier available if you only need to run a small project or test the workflow.
Ybug doesn't punish your growth. We give you a Free Forever plan to get started, and bundle your team members into flat, affordable premium fees as your agency scales.
Feeding your workflow, not replacing it
While both tools offer integrations, we focus strictly on bridging the gap between your clients and your devs without missing crucial data.
Ybug feeds the tools you already use. Clients report issues frictionlessly on the live site, and the data (including the console logs PageProofer leaves behind) flows right to Jira, ClickUp, or Trello where your devs already work.
Key differences that matter in daily work
Deep web diagnostics vs. simple sticky notes
Ybug automatically captures JS and network logs; PageProofer relies mostly on basic visual markup.
Scalable pricing vs. no free tier
Ybug offers a Free Forever plan and affordable scaling; PageProofer forces a $39/mo starting price.
Developer context vs. basic browser info
Ybug provides code-level data and XHR/fetch errors to reproduce bugs; PageProofer stops at basic screen sizes and browser versions.
Seamless sync vs. lost context
Ybug pushes annotated screenshots alongside complete technical logs directly into your PM tool; PageProofer leaves critical diagnostic data behind.
Why teams choose Ybug

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.

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.

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.

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.
Yes. PageProofer starts at $39/month and does not offer a free version. Ybug offers a Free Forever plan, and our paid plans start at just €10/month. For most web agencies, switching to Ybug is significantly more cost-effective.
Does Ybug capture console logs?
Yes. Unlike basic sticky note tools, Ybug is built specifically for web developers. We automatically capture JavaScript console logs, network errors, browser info, and screen resolution with every single report.
Is Ybug better for developer teams than PageProofer?
Yes. If your primary goal is just getting non-technical design comments, both tools work. However, if your goal is actually fixing complex bugs, Ybug is the better tool. We automatically capture the JavaScript errors and network data that PageProofer leaves out.
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.
Can I try Ybug before switching?
Absolutely. We offer a free trial with no credit card required. You can even run Ybug alongside PageProofer on a staging site to compare the workflow side-by-side.
