A BugHerd alternative when feedback needs developer context
BugHerd is very good at collecting visual feedback from clients on live sites. BugPort is built for the step after that: reports that carry console logs, network requests, and a replay, so your developers can reproduce and fix without a follow-up call. There's a free plan, and WCAG scanning comes built in.
Switching from BugHerd
Keep the client-friendly reporting, add the evidence developers need.
Install the extension, embed the widget
Your team adds BugPort to Chrome. For clients and users, you embed the BugPort widget in the site itself, so they report from the page they're on without installing anything.
Reports arrive with the technical story
Every report lands on your triage board carrying console logs, network requests, a replay, and environment details. Developers reproduce from the report, not from a call with the client.
Connect your tracker and scan for WCAG issues
Hook up Linear, GitHub, or Jira, then run accessibility scans on the sites you manage. WCAG failures become bug reports with evidence, which is a nice extra to hand agency clients.
BugPort vs BugHerd, feature by feature
BugHerd collects visual feedback. BugPort collects the evidence developers need to fix things, scans for WCAG failures, and brings in human QA when you want it.

Frequently asked questions
How is BugPort different from BugHerd?
BugHerd is a visual feedback tool: clients pin comments on the live site and the team works a kanban board. BugPort is a bug reporting platform: every report carries console logs, network requests, and a replay, and the workspace adds WCAG accessibility scanning. If your bottleneck is developers asking 'can you reproduce that?', that context is the difference.
When is BugHerd the better choice?
If you run an agency and the whole job is collecting visual feedback from clients on website projects, BugHerd is the better fit. Pinning comments directly on the live page is what it was built for, clients find it easy, and the kanban board matches that workflow well.
Can our clients report bugs without installing anything?
Yes. Embed the BugPort widget in the site and clients report from the page itself, no extension needed. Their reports arrive with the same technical context your team's extension reports carry.
Does BugPort have a free plan?
Yes, BugPort is free for teams of up to five. BugHerd has no free plan — a 60-day trial, then paid plans from $50/mo for 5 members. BugPort's Team plan is $49/mo flat with unlimited seats, so you never hit a member tier or pay $8/mo per extra seat.
Does BugPort integrate with our project tools?
BugPort connects to Linear, GitHub, and Jira, so triaged bugs flow into your development workflow while clients keep reporting through the widget.
