Ybug vs Usersnap: Bug tracking without the survey bloat
Focus on fixing bugs, not measuring sentiment. Get instant visual feedback and deep technical context, without paying premium rates for NPS or CSAT tools.

Stop paying enterprise rates for QA
Usersnap charges a premium for a full customer experience platform. You end up paying for surveys, per-user seats, and setup overhead that your dev team doesn't need.
Ybug's focus is clear: helping developers and clients resolve issues faster. We stripped away the survey bloat to give you a streamlined tool at a price that makes sense.

Why teams switch from Usersnap to Ybug
Key differences that matter in daily work
Focused bug tracking vs. broad feedback platform
Usersnap has evolved into a Customer Experience (CX) platform designed for product and marketing managers to measure sentiment (NPS, CSAT).
Ybug is laser-focused on QA and UAT. We don't do market research surveys; we help you fix your website. If your goal is to squash bugs, Ybug gives you exactly the tools you need without the noise.
Simple pricing, no surprises
Usersnap targets enterprise customers, and their pricing reflects that. For agencies, startups, or smaller dev teams, the cost can be hard to justify, especially if you hit limits on projects or team members.
Ybug offers generous limits and affordable plans that scale with your team, not punish you for growth. We believe essential tools shouldn't break the bank.
Lightweight and invisible
Because Usersnap handles surveys and polls, its widget can be heavy. This slows down your website's load time and can negatively impact your Core Web Vitals (Google PageSpeed) and SEO score.
Ybug is designed to stay out of the way. Our widget is lightweight and asynchronous, ensuring it never impacts your site's performance or user experience.
Faster setup for QA
Setting up Usersnap can feel like a project in itself. You have to navigate complex dashboards, choose between project types, and configure audience targeting rules just to get started. What should be simple often turns into a 20-minute configuration session before you can report a single bug.
Ybug goes live instantly—just add the snippet and go. Our default settings are optimized for bug reporting out of the box. You get screenshots, annotations, and console logs up and running in under 5 minutes.
Key differences that matter in daily work
QA vs. CX
Ybug is built to fix bugs; Usersnap is built to measure customer sentiment.
Lean vs. robust
Ybug is lightweight and fast; Usersnap is a comprehensive suite with more overhead.

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.
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.

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.
It depends on how you use Usersnap. If you use it for QA, UAT, and visual bug reporting, then yes—Ybug is a perfect, more affordable replacement. However, if you rely on Usersnap for NPS surveys or CSAT polls, Ybug likely isn't for you, as we focus solely on visual feedback.
Does Ybug capture console logs like Usersnap?
Yes. Ybug automatically captures JavaScript console logs, browser info, OS, and screen size with every report. Developers get the same deep technical context they expect.
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 Usersnap?
We sure do. Ybug works seamlessly with Jira, ClickUp, and plenty of other tools. You can find the full list on our integrations page.
Can I try Ybug before switching?
Absolutely. We offer a free trial with no credit card required. You can even run Ybug alongside Usersnap on a staging site to compare the workflow side-by-side.
