A Jam alternative that goes past capture
Jam nails fast capture, and we respect that. BugPort grabs the same evidence (console logs, network requests, replay, screenshots), then adds what happens next: a hosted dashboard where your team triages bugs, plus a WCAG scanning engine that catches accessibility issues before your users do.
Switching from Jam
You keep the one-click capture habit. Here's the path.
Install the extension
Add BugPort to Chrome and file a test report on any page. Console logs, network requests, replay, and environment details come along automatically, the same muscle memory you built with Jam.
Point your team at the dashboard
Invite teammates to your BugPort workspace. Reports land on a hosted triage board where you assign, comment, and track bugs to done, instead of scattering across a tracker backlog.
Connect your tracker and turn on scanning
Hook up Linear, GitHub, or Jira for the bugs that belong there, then run a WCAG scan so accessibility issues arrive as regular bug reports with evidence attached.
BugPort vs Jam, feature by feature
Jam is a good capture extension. BugPort is the whole workflow: capture, triage, accessibility scanning, and human QA when you need it. Here's the honest picture.
| Feature | BugPort | Jam |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility (WCAG) scanning (Jam site) | Built-in scanning engine, findings become tickets | ✗ |
| On-demand human QA testers (Jam site) | Hire vetted QA testers from the same workspace | ✗ |
| Hosted triage dashboard (Jam site) | Shared workspace to triage, assign, and track to done | None. Sends bugs to your existing tracker |
| Reports from people without the extension (Jam pricing) | Embeddable widget in your own app | Recording links, metered: 5/mo on Free, 150/mo on Team |
| What paid plans buy (Jam pricing) | Team: $49/mo flat, unlimited seats — no per-seat pricing | Seats: $14 per creator per month, billed yearly |
| Full technical capture (console, network, replay, screenshots) (Jam site) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Free tier (Jam pricing) | Free plan with full capture | Metered: 30 jams/mo, 5-minute recording cap, 5 creator seats |

Frequently asked questions
How is BugPort different from Jam?
Capture is similar: both grab console logs, network requests, and a replay in one click. The difference is what happens next. Jam is built to feed bugs into the tracker you already have. BugPort gives you a hosted dashboard to triage and track them, a WCAG scanning engine for accessibility bugs, and an embeddable widget so users can report from inside your own app.
When is Jam the better choice?
If your team lives in an existing tracker and you want the fastest possible dev-to-dev capture, Jam is excellent. The free tier is generous, the UX is polished, and the integration list is wide. Pick Jam if quick capture into your current tool is the whole job.
Can people without the extension report bugs?
Yes, both tools handle this, just differently. Jam offers recording links with monthly caps per plan. BugPort ships an embeddable widget you put in your own app, so users and clients report from the page they're on, with the same context attached.
Will BugPort work with our existing tracker?
Yes. BugPort integrates with Linear, GitHub, and Jira, so bugs you triage in the dashboard can flow into the tools your developers already use.
What does BugPort cost?
BugPort is free for teams of up to five. The Team plan is $49/mo flat with unlimited seats — no per-seat pricing. Jam's Team plan runs ~$14 per creator per month billed yearly, so a 10-person team pays ~$140/mo there while BugPort stays at $49; the flat price starts winning at around 4 seats.
