Notedis vs BugHerd: Simple Feedback at $16/Month vs $42-$150/Month

If you're looking for visual feedback tools for websites, you've probably found BugHerd. It's a well-established platform with sticky note-style commenting, Kanban boards, and integrations with major project management tools.

It's also 3-9x more expensive than Notedis, with per-seat pricing that increases costs as your team grows.

Notedis captures client feedback with annotated screenshots and automatic technical context—no per-seat charges, no member limits, no forced upgrades.

Let's compare what you're actually paying for.

What They Have in Common

Both Notedis and BugHerd solve the same problem: getting clear visual feedback from clients without endless email chains.

The basics are similar:

• Visual feedback pinned directly on websites
• No login required for clients
• Screenshot capture with annotations
• Automatic technical context (browser, device, screen size)
• Dashboard to manage feedback

If that's all you need, the question is whether you want a task management workflow or simple email-based feedback.

Where BugHerd Adds Task Management

BugHerd was built for agencies managing multiple client projects with internal teams:

Kanban board workflow: Every piece of feedback becomes a task card on a customizable project board. Assign, prioritize, change status, track progress. Built for teams that want project management built-in.

Sticky note interface: Click on website elements to pin feedback like sticky notes. Visual, intuitive, familiar to anyone who's used physical sticky notes.

Video feedback: Record screen + voice to explain issues. Great for complex UX problems or design review.

Project management integrations: Two-way sync with Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Monday.com, Trello. Tasks created in BugHerd automatically create tickets in your PM tool.

Team collaboration features: Comment threads, private team comments, member-only commenting, share member feedback with clients. Built for internal team coordination.

Client project board: Separate view for clients to see feedback status without accessing team discussions.

Per-member pricing: Standard starts at 5 members, Studio at 10, Premium at 25. Need more? Pay $8/month per additional user ($6.60/year).

Tiered features: Custom branding only on Premium plan. Enhanced integrations (Jira, Asana, Linear) only on Premium. Basic integrations (Trello, Slack, GitHub) on all plans.

BugHerd is optimized for agencies that want feedback collection AND task management in one platform. If you're managing internal teams and need Kanban boards with client feedback, that workflow makes sense. If you just need client bug reports, it's extra complexity and cost.

Where Notedis Stays Simple

Notedis does one thing: captures bug reports from clients with screenshots and technical context.

Email-first workflow: Feedback goes to your inbox with screenshots and browser details. Reply via email—client gets the response. Use the dashboard when you want it, not because you have to.

No task management: We're not trying to be your Kanban board. We send you clear bug reports, you manage them however you want—Jira, Asana, Trello, Notion, spreadsheet, or just your inbox.

No integrations needed: Copy feedback details into whatever tool you use. No OAuth setup, no API keys, no integration maintenance. Simple copy-paste workflow.

Bug-focused, not design-focused: Built for "the button is broken" not team collaboration on design reviews. Technical context automatically captured.

Team roles without complexity: Manager and team member roles. No member limits, no tiers based on team size.

Zero per-member charges: $16/month total whether you have 1 team member or 50. Add people without increasing your bill.

True unlimited: No member limits, no project limits, no storage caps. One website or one hundred—same price.

5-minute setup: Add JavaScript snippet. Done. No Kanban boards to configure, no task workflows to set up.

Notedis is built for client communication about bugs, not internal team project management. If your main problem is clients saying "it's broken" without details, Notedis solves that without the task management overhead.

The Real Question: Task Management or Bug Tracking?

Here's how to decide between Notedis and BugHerd:

Choose BugHerd if:

• You want Kanban boards and task management built into your feedback tool
• You need two-way sync with Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, or Monday.com
• Internal team collaboration on tasks is critical to your workflow
• You want client project boards showing feedback status
• You need video feedback with screen recording
• You prefer managing everything in one integrated platform
• Budget allows $42-$150/month with per-seat charges

Choose Notedis if:

• You already have a project management tool you like
• You just need client bug reports, not internal task management
• You don't want to pay per team member
• BugHerd's minimum member counts don't match your team size (you have 3 people but must pay for 5)
• You prefer email-based workflow over Kanban boards
• You want unlimited team members at flat pricing
• You manage tasks in Jira/Asana/Trello and just need feedback collection
• You don't need built-in integrations—happy to copy-paste into your tools

What You're Actually Paying For

With BugHerd, you're paying for:

• Kanban board task management workflow
• Two-way integrations with Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Monday.com
• Video feedback with screen recording
• Client project boards
• Private team commenting
• Per-member pricing that increases with team size
• Minimum member counts (5 minimum on Standard)
• Starting at $42/month with forced team minimums

With Notedis, you're paying for:

• Bug-focused feedback with technical context
• Email-based workflow clients understand
• Unlimited websites, team members, and feedback
• No task management overhead
• No integrations to maintain
• Manual copy-paste workflow (simple and reliable)
• $16/month with no limits, no per-seat charges

The question isn't which has more features. It's whether you want feedback collection + task management + integrations (BugHerd) or just feedback collection (Notedis).

The Integration Trade-Off

BugHerd's integrations are powerful—tasks automatically sync to Jira, Asana, or Linear. But integrations add complexity:

• OAuth setup and authentication
• Integration breaks when APIs change
• Auto-created tickets often lack context
• You still manually review and organize tasks anyway

Notedis takes a different approach: we send you clear feedback via email with all technical details. You copy it into whatever tool you use. Takes 30 seconds. No API maintenance. No broken integrations. Complete control over how you organize work.

It's less automated but more reliable.

The Per-Seat Reality

BugHerd's per-member pricing creates real friction:

Minimum member requirements: Standard forces you to pay for 5 members even if you only have 2-3 people. Studio requires 10 minimum. You're paying for seats you don't use.

Growth penalties: Every team member you add costs $6.60-8/month more. Grow from 5 to 10 people? Your bill increases by $40/month ($480/year).

Tier jumping: Have 6 people? You're paying Standard for 5 + $6.60 for the 6th. Have 11 people? You jumped from Studio to Studio + $6.60 extra.

With Notedis, there are no members. Add 2 people or 20 people—same price. Team size and cost are completely disconnected.

When Simple Beats Feature-Rich

BugHerd has powerful task management features. If you're an agency that wants feedback collection AND Kanban boards AND two-way PM integration all in one tool, BugHerd makes sense.

But if you're a developer or agency who just needs clients to report bugs clearly—without paying $42-150/month for task management and integrations you already handle elsewhere—Notedis is built for you.

Notedis gives you what matters for bug tracking:

• Clear feedback with screenshots and technical context
• Team collaboration without per-seat charges
• Email workflow that clients understand instantly
• No minimum member requirements
• No task management you didn't ask for
• No integrations to maintain
• Predictable pricing that doesn't change

No Kanban boards. No task workflows. No per-member penalties. No integrations to break.

Just clear bug reports from clients showing exactly what's broken.

Try Both, Choose What Fits

We're not saying Notedis is objectively better than BugHerd. For agencies that want feedback collection and task management in one integrated platform, it's not.

But if you're managing client bug reports and already have a PM tool you like—without wanting to pay $42-150/month for task management and integration features you don't need—Notedis is built for you.

Both offer free trials. Try both and see which workflow actually makes your life easier—and which pricing model makes financial sense.
