BugHerd

Visit Website

Introduction

BugHerd is a visual website feedback and bug reporting tool. Its homepage says clients “just point, click and comment”: they drop a pin on any element of a live website, and BugHerd captures a screenshot and technical details such as browser, operating system and screen size. It cites a 4.8/5 rating and 350,000+ users.

Feedback lands on an integrated Kanban board, where web teams turn each comment into a task. Newer features include suggested text edits, video feedback recordings, public feedback from all website visitors, feedback on designs and deliverables, and BugHerd AI (beta) for AI-assisted feedback management, plus integrations with tools such as Jira, Trello, Asana and others.

In the quality loop BugHerd sits in the prototype and UX stage and in user acceptance testing, where non-technical stakeholders review websites before launch.

How it compares: Marker.io sends feedback straight into an existing tracker such as Jira or GitHub, while BugHerd includes its own Kanban board, which suits agencies that want a self-contained client feedback workflow. Both are far easier for clients than asking them to file tickets in Jira.

Usage and Links (Example)

Start a trial, add your website, install the browser extension or script, and invite clients as guests. Reviewers pin feedback on pages; your team triages it on the board or pushes it to Jira. Use it during design review and UAT before launch.
