Why teams choose Cayda over BugHerd
Priced per collaborator, nothing else
A base fee covers you; each accepted teammate is $5 to $6. Two people pay $14, not $42. Ten people with Jira pay $68, not $125. Nobody buys seats they are not using.
Invisible to visitors. Always.
Nothing renders for your audience on any plan. The feedback layer appears only for authenticated team members and the guests you invite. No launcher, no badge, no URL key to leak, no toggle to forget. Run it on production.
A dashboard built for triage
Kanban and list views, filters by status, priority, assignee and note type, bulk actions, threaded comments, an activity feed and CSV export. Manage feedback like a project, not a thread.
Context captured automatically
Every note pins to the element and records a screenshot, page URL, browser, OS and viewport. Screen recording on the Team plan. Nobody has to remember to include the details.

How BugHerd approaches it
BugHerd has been pinning feedback to websites since 2011 and prices it in member blocks: Standard includes five members at $42 a month, Premium includes twenty five at $125 and is where Jira, Asana and Linear live. The owner takes one of those seats, and every member past the block is $6.60.
Cayda covers the same loop, click on the page, leave a note pinned to the element, triage it in a board, push it to your tracker, with a free plan, a base fee that includes the owner, and per-member pricing that only bills people who accept an invite.
The bottom line
For a freelancer, a studio, or a team under twenty, Cayda costs a fraction of BugHerd for the same workflow, and it never shows anything to your visitors. Try it free on two sites before you decide.
