Why teams switch from PageProofer to Ybug

Key differences that matter in daily work

Actionable diagnostics, not just web sticky notes

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
