A simpler alternative to Jira for bug reporting
Jira is powerful, but for collecting bug reports from clients and non-technical users it is heavy, expensive and intimidating. stopbuggin.me does the bug-reporting job in a fraction of the time.
Jira is built for large engineering orgs running complex agile workflows. If your real need is "let clients and users report bugs, and let my team fix them", stopbuggin.me is faster to set up and far easier for non-technical people to use.
| stopbuggin.me | Jira | |
|---|---|---|
| Report a bug without an account | Yes — public branded form | No — requires a Jira account |
| Time to first bug report | Minutes | Hours to days of setup |
| Learning curve for clients | None | Steep |
| Branded per-client forms | Built in | Not really |
| Pricing | Free plan, then $29/mo flat | Per-user, scales up quickly |
| Best for | Agencies, freelancers, small teams | Large engineering organisations |
In fairness
To be fair to Jira: if you need sprints, story points, complex workflows and deep dev-tool integrations, Jira does far more than we do. We deliberately do not.
