nootiz as a BugHerd alternative
BugHerd combines website feedback with a kanban board and project management features. That can be a real advantage if you do not yet use a project management tool and want feedback to turn directly into tasks with columns and priorities. nootiz deliberately stays on the feedback layer: collect, assign, resolve. If you already run a project management tool such as Trello, Asana or your own system, you do not need a second board – just a reliable way for feedback to actually get captured instead of getting lost in emails or chat messages. The difference shows especially with agencies running many small client projects: BugHerd boards need upkeep per project, while nootiz projects stay a lean list of notes with statuses that clients understand without explanation. Another point concerns cost over time: BugHerd plans are often shaped around project count and board-level user count, while every nootiz plan already includes all features with no board-specific extras to unlock. For teams mainly running many small, short client projects, that adds up noticeably over a year.
In short
nootiz is a BugHerd alternative for teams that want visual feedback and bug reports without buying a full kanban project management layer – at a noticeably lower entry cost.

When nootiz is the better choice
- You already have a project management tool
- You do not want to explain anything to clients
- You need a low, predictable monthly budget
- You do not want to maintain an extra board per project
- Your clients should give feedback without a browser extension
- You run many small client projects in parallel
- A simple open/done status is all you actually need
- You do not want to pay extra for board-specific features
When the other tool fits better
- You want feedback and kanban in one tool
- Your team runs projects inside the feedback tool
- You do not have a project management system in place yet
- You need columns, priorities and ownership visible in one board
- Your plan choice is based on board and user count anyway
Switching to nootiz
Switching in practice: add the snippet, manually move open board tasks into nootiz notes (title, description and screenshot are usually enough), and send clients the new link. You do not need to replicate board columns or priority schemes one to one – a simple open/in progress/done status is usually enough. Board maintenance goes away after that. If you run a project management tool alongside it, just link to the relevant nootiz project instead of the old BugHerd board. Budget roughly one to two hours per running project for the switch, depending on how many open cards currently sit in the board; you do not need to carry over closed cards from finished projects, since they are no longer relevant to ongoing collaboration anyway.
Frequently asked questions

nootiz starts at EUR 9.99 per month with all features in every plan. Check BugHerd's current pricing page for a direct comparison.
Do I need a browser extension like with BugHerd?
No. nootiz works through a simple snippet directly on the website, with nothing for clients to install.
Can I import BugHerd tasks into nootiz?
There is no automated import. Open items can, however, be added quickly as notes by hand.
Does nootiz work for pure bug reports without design feedback?
Yes, notes work equally well for bugs, copy feedback and design feedback.
Do clients get their own board view in nootiz?

Yes, many teams collect feedback in nootiz and manually link larger tasks from there into their existing project management tool.
Do I lose priority levels from BugHerd when I switch?
There is no direct equivalent to BugHerd's priority field; most teams express priority through note order or wording instead.
