What they are
BugHerd in one sentence
Straight answer
Where each one wins
Pick BugHerd for
Comments pinned to page elements
A reviewer clicks the thing that is wrong and the comment stays attached to that element across pages. This is BugHerd’s core idea and UserWants has no equivalent.
A kanban board for the feedback
Feedback lands on a board your team drags through columns. UserWants has a list with five statuses, which is less workflow than a board.
Integrations everywhere
Jira, Trello, Asana, ClickUp, monday.com, GitHub, Slack, WordPress. UserWants has none of them.
Pick UserWants for
Nobody is billed per seat
BugHerd charges by member, which is what makes a growing team’s bill grow. UserWants is one flat plan — add the whole team, add unlimited projects, nothing changes.
Built for users, not for reviewers
Pinning assumes someone reviewing a build on purpose. A customer hitting a bug at 11pm will not pin anything, and UserWants collects the error, the browser and the click trail without asking them to.
Your agent reads the report, not a summary
The MCP server returns the whole report — description, stack frames, numbered steps and a signed screenshot link — so Claude Code or Cursor can work the bug without anyone opening a browser.

Verdict
Which one to pick
BugHerd is a client-review tool that happens to catch bugs, and if your work is agency work — sending a staging link to a client and collecting their notes — it is the better product and the pinning is worth the seat price. UserWants is for the other case: bugs arriving from people who are using your product rather than reviewing it, where nobody is going to pin anything and the evidence has to be collected for them.
UserWants is for
Product teams whose reporters are customers, on a budget that should not scale per seat
BugHerd is for
Agencies running client review rounds on staging sites
FAQ
Before you switch
- Is there a cheaper BugHerd alternative for a growing team?
- UserWants removes the per-seat axis entirely: one plan covers the whole team and unlimited projects, with nothing metered. If your BugHerd bill is growing because you added people rather than because you added work, that is the difference you would feel.
- Do I lose the kanban board?
- Yes. UserWants has a single inbox with five statuses — Pending, Planned, In progress, Shipped and Rejected — and an email to the reporter when one changes. It is a queue, not a board, and teams that run their week off the board should stay.
- Does it work on WordPress and Webflow like BugHerd?
- Yes, anywhere you can paste a script tag: WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, or a React or Next.js app. There is no plugin to install and nothing enters your build.
