Side-by-side.

For websites and mobile apps

Just a web SDK

Sleek, simple bug reporting tool for websites — works nicely.

instabug charges extra for seats

Web plus 4 mobile SDKs

The same thing but if you currently have or are planning to launch a mobile app, it has you covered as well.

Free, in other words $0

Four paid plans

No free plans. And then you need to pay more to have your whole team in — $80 per colleague per year.

Web SDK is free for everyone

Shake for mobile apps offers paid plans. Shake for websites is free: unlimited seats, reports, integrations…

Seeeeeriously more data

Simple visual feedback

Reports come with basics such as operating system, URL, browser and resolution. Where’s the magic?

Detailed CIA-like feedback

Same as BugHerd plus memory usage, cookies, custom metadata, time machine and 50 other datapoints.

Customize without compromise

No real form customization

You can change the logo and color of the button of their plugin.

The form is all yours

Make your own feedback form! Custom fields, fonts and colors — reflect your needs and brand’s identity.

Mightier ticket organization

Basic ticket management

Assignee, status and priority — that’s it. Readability of the tickets is basic as they are stacked like pictures.

Ticket management from heaven

Assign a ticket, set status and priority, add tags, merge duplicates, deep search, custom if-then automations…

To sum it up

Both are great tools

Shake is multi-platform support and has detailed technical reports

BugHerd is focused on web-based visual feedback

While words can describe it, nothing compares to trying it yourself

Test Shake and take your time – it’s free
