What are BugHerd and Ruttl built for?

BugHerd

BugHerd

BugHerd is a pin-on-the-page feedback tool sold by team member, with client users and projects unlimited on every plan. Feedback pins to the element on a live website, a Figma design, a PDF or an image, and a screenshot with the browser, the operating system and the URL is captured automatically; the reporter can record a video. Trello, Slack and GitHub connect from Standard and the rest of the trackers from Premium. Its MCP server is listed on every plan as beta, and it publishes storage of 10, 25 and 50 GB by tier.

Ruttl

Ruttl

Ruttl is spread across surfaces rather than depth: one place to comment on a live website, a mobile app, an image or a PDF, sold per user with a free tier and guests commenting from a shared link with no sign up. Its free plan already connects Trello, Slack, Asana and Jira, and ClickUp arrives on Pro; Monday is listed as coming soon and GitHub is not listed. Its annual price is painted in by a script and absent from the served page, and its plan card and comparison table disagree about the free plan's user count. Its MCP server reads tickets and marks a thread resolved once the fix ships.

When should you choose BugHerd, and when Ruttl?

BugHerd

Choose BugHerd when

  • The design is in Figma. BugHerd pins feedback on Figma files on every plan; Ruttl's listed surfaces are websites, mobile apps, images and PDFs.
  • You want a price that does not move with headcount below five. BugHerd's Standard carries five members for one amount; Ruttl bills every user.
  • The report should land in GitHub. BugHerd connects it from Standard; Ruttl does not list GitHub at all.
  • You want to read the annual price. BugHerd prints it; Ruttl's yearly panel is rendered by script and empty in the page a reader or crawler receives.
Ruttl

Choose Ruttl when

  • You want to start without paying. Ruttl's Basic plan is free, with one project and five pages, and Trello, Slack, Asana and Jira are connected on it; BugHerd has no free plan and holds Jira and Asana at Premium.
  • The feedback is on a mobile app. Ruttl reviews mobile apps alongside websites, images and PDFs; BugHerd's published surfaces are live sites, Figma designs, PDFs and images.
  • Your team is large and its use is light. Ruttl's $18 per user a month, up to fifty users, suits a company where many people comment occasionally.
  • You want Jira on the cheapest plan. Ruttl connects it free; on BugHerd it is $150 a month or $125 billed annually.
Notarus

The third option

Where does Notarus fit?

Notarus is what to reach for when the pin is not enough: every report carries session replay, console logs, network requests and the environment, which neither of these captures on any plan, on a free plan with unlimited seats and 5 projects, and GitHub, Jira, Linear, Trello, ClickUp, Asana and Monday connected there. Every panel action is also an MCP tool.

It is a live web page tool and nothing else: no Figma file, no PDF, no image and no mobile app, which is exactly the ground these two are chosen for. There is no mobile SDK and no Intercom or Zendesk integration. A team reviewing design across surfaces should pick between BugHerd and Ruttl and leave this one for the bug queue.

The three plans and their amounts are on the pricing page, including SAML on Scale.

What do buyers ask about BugHerd vs Ruttl?

Which is cheaper, BugHerd or Ruttl?

Ruttl's Pro is $18 a user a month, so two users come to $36 and five come to $90. BugHerd's Standard is $50 a month, or $42 billed annually, for five members either way, so Ruttl is the cheaper of the two for a pair and BugHerd for a team of five. Ruttl's annual price cannot be read from the served page, so the comparison is on monthly figures.

Does either capture console logs or session replay?

Neither. BugHerd's pricing page lists no console logs, network requests or session replay on any plan, and suggests linking a LogRocket or FullStory session. Ruttl's site shows none of the three anywhere, including its pricing and feature pages. On both, a bug arrives as a comment pinned to a place.

Which reviews more kinds of file?

They overlap on live websites, images and PDFs. BugHerd adds Figma designs; Ruttl adds mobile apps. Neither states that it takes feedback on an email.

Does Ruttl have a free plan and BugHerd not?

Yes. Ruttl's Basic plan costs nothing and carries one project and five pages, though its plan card and its comparison table disagree about how many users and guests it includes. BugHerd offers a trial whose length its pricing page does not state, then Standard at $50 a month.

How much storage do BugHerd and Ruttl include?

Ruttl prints more at the top of its ladder and less at the bottom. Its Basic plan carries 1 GB, Pro 50 GB and Business 100 GB. BugHerd's pricing page lists 10 GB on Standard, 25 GB on Studio and 50 GB on Premium. So a free Ruttl account has a tenth of BugHerd's entry allowance, a paid Ruttl account on Pro matches BugHerd's top tier, and Business doubles it. Neither figure covers session replay, since neither tool records one.

Or try the third option on the free plan.

5 projects and unlimited seats, session replay included. No card.
