Usersnap is the #1 bug tracking tool for your browser.
4.8/5 (19 reviews)How does Usersnap work and how can I use it?
Adding Usersnap to a web-site is as simple as installing Google Analytics: simply put a small javascript-snippet on your page and you are ready. If you like to connect Usersnap with your exisiting tools, you can do this conveniently in the Usersnap administration interface.
Pros
Their idea is simple and effective - it's a great way to get a quick snapshot from users to help troubleshoot issues or get feedback when working with users who may not be technologically-capable enough to know how to take a screenshot. Usersnap was a life saver for our company and helped us up our Customer Support game significantly. The interface is simple enough to figure out, and its integration with Intercom was perfect for our needs. The customization options to black out data was essential to for our HIPAA-compliant customers, and the attache JS console is perfect for quick debugging.
Cons
It seems like the tool has a lot of potential, but essentially it just does one thing: lets users take screenshots. (I know they have since introduced their CX product for customer satisfaction surveying, but we never upgraded to this option). Some things I found that would make this better was: the ability to take full-page screenshots, or a co-browsing/screensharing feature, or have a more robust interface for us to be able to organize and categorize our screenshots better. It was useful for us at one point, but then we decided to switch over to a co-browsing tool instead because screenshots just weren't allowing us to provide the support we wanted.
Pros
- Easy to use widget to embed on site.
- Easy to customize who sees the widget so only employees can
- Makes submitting bug reports as easy as 3 clicks.
- Integrations with services like Zapier allows endless posiblities.
- Tools for drawing and pointing out specific areas.
Cons
I really don't have many complaints about this tool. It's easy to use, the interface is nice and straight forward. I highly recommend this tool for any software companies who encourage bug reports from employees.
Great. It does what it claims to do. I see a huge value in using it for website reviews during the design and development process; even more so than for ongoing feedback from website visitors.
Pros
Usersnap gives your customers and easy way to give you feedback about your website. It can be hard to explain via email your feedback about a visual thing such as a website. Usersnap allows someone to give us visual feedback.
Cons
Usersnap itself is great. The biggest downside is that customers don't always use it for the purpose intended.
It has improved our process immensely.
Pros
I'm a technical project manager, not a developer and I love using it. It's really faciliated our QA process. It integrates seamlessly with all of the major project management tools and works well with teams. If I ever have an issue and need to contact support, they are very responsive and helpful.
Cons
There have been a few hiccups or features I wanted, but they seem to add the features and fix the hiccups.
Pros
Bug reports contain everything in one spot. Browser version, used web software version, JavaScript errors and of course: the screenshot of the situation with annotations.
Cons
The internal bug dashboard is quite limited in comparison with a full fledged bug tracker like JIRA. The integration to send the reports to JIRA however works quite well and there is even a link to and from the JIRA ticket.
Pricing starts at 19 USD/month (paid annually)

Usersnap is a cloud-based tool that web developers can use to communicate about issues and share information with clients, colleagues, and quality assurance engineers. By embedding a bug-reporting tool into their standard development processes, web professionals can reduce communication friction and work more efficiently with colleagues.
Usersnap is a cloud-based tool that’s embedded in the bug reporting and feedback loop, making it possible for clients and engineers to send annotated screenshots—complete with attached data like browser and operating system specifics—automatically when they come across issues on your website. Tiered pricing options make Usersnap just as useful for solo entrepreneurs and developers working on one-off web projects as it is for larger agencies and corporate teams
Using sticky notes, highlighters, and virtual pens, customers can point out exactly what issues they see while they navigate your website. These actionable bug reports are then sent via email, or pushed directly into a developer’s existing bug tracking, project management, or content management system.
Capturing, sending, and managing bugs with Usersnap is a three step process. Embed the provided Javascript code to add a “Feedback” widget to your website. When clients, customers, and colleagues notice an issue, they are prompted to click on a Usersnap widget sitting along the bottom right-hand corner of their browser screen. Immediately, an overlay popup will appear prompting the user to annotate the screen that he or she current sees. This annotation can be done with a pen, highlighter, or typed note. Users are also prompted to enter their email addresses and any related comments before pressing “Send.”
Submitted bug reports are sent to a company’s quality assurance team via email, or funneled directly into the company’s existing bug tracking, project management, or CMS system. Because Usersnap’s code snippet is loaded “asynchronously,” it does not slow down page load times. The system supports all types of webfonts. To use Usersnap with a local development machine, developers are encouraged to utilize a forwarding service such as PageKite.
Before you can start receiving annotated screenshots via email, you’ll need to configure your website by adding a snippet of Usersnap’s JavaScript code to your page.
Once you’ve configured your API key settings and embedded your personalized JavaScript code, you’ll need to define how your screenshots should be delivered. Usersnap provides submitted screenshots and background information to your office via email, or your selected bug tracker, project management, or customer service management system.
Customers who visit your website and click on the “Feedback” widget along the bottom right-hand side of the page are prompted to annotate the page using a virtual pen, highlighter, or by typing a written note. Usersnap also collects each user’s email address. This information is then sent to your support team.
