- UserWants
- One plan, unlimited projects and reports
What they are
Ybug in one sentence
Straight answer
Where each one wins
Pick Ybug for
Annotation and screen recording
Reporters draw on the screenshot, and Ybug records video. UserWants captures a still of the viewport with no drawing tools.
Integrations and a browser extension
Jira, Slack, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, plus an extension for testing sites you do not control. UserWants has none of this.
A longer track record
Ybug has been shipping for years with platform guides for WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix and Bubble. UserWants is newer and smaller.
Pick UserWants for
The MCP server
Connect Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Zed and your agent reads the whole report — description, stack frames, numbered steps, signed screenshot link — then changes the status when the fix lands. Ybug has no equivalent.
Nothing metered, no tiers to outgrow
Ybug prices by volume and features. Here it is one plan with unlimited projects, widgets and reports, and no per-seat charge.
Ideas and bugs in one queue
The same button takes a feature request, which moves through the same five statuses and emails the requester when it ships.

Verdict
Which one to pick
Ybug is the closest thing to UserWants in the category and the honest summary is that it does more: annotation, recording, an extension and real integrations. Pick it if any of those are load-bearing for you. Pick UserWants if your workflow already runs through an AI coding agent, because reading a whole bug report from inside the editor is the one thing Ybug cannot do at any price.
UserWants is for
Developers who fix bugs from Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Zed
Ybug is for
Teams who need annotation, recording and Jira sync
FAQ
Before you switch
- What does UserWants do that Ybug does not?
- The MCP server. Your coding agent connects over OAuth and reads the full report — stack traces, the numbered steps the user took, and a signed screenshot link — then sets the status when the fix ships. Ybug has no agent access of any kind.
- Does UserWants have a WordPress plugin like Ybug?
- No plugin. It is the same script tag everywhere, pasted before the closing body tag, which works on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace and any React or Next.js app. Nothing enters your build and there is no package to update.
- Which one captures more with a bug report?
- It depends on the bug. Ybug wins on what the reporter shows you — annotation and video. UserWants wins on what nobody had to show you: up to 10 JavaScript errors with stack frames and the last 50 clicks, collected from page load.
