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.
