A BugHerd alternative for Squarespace designers.
BugHerd is a bug tracker built for web teams. Squarepaste is a client tool built for designers who work on Squarespace, with the chat and payments BugHerd leaves out.
Squarepaste and BugHerd, Side by Side
BugHerd and Squarepaste both let a client click on part of a live page and leave feedback that arrives with a screenshot and their browser details. Past that, they’re built for different people. BugHerd is for teams handing reports to developers. Squarepaste is for a designer and their Squarespace clients.

Why Squarespace Designers Choose Squarepaste
Made for a client, not a QA team
BugHerd’s board, integrations and per-member plans are designed around a team passing bugs to developers. Most Squarespace projects are one designer and one client. Squarepaste is shaped for that: your client pins a change in their editor, you talk it through in the same place, and the task moves from Open to Resolved.
Nothing shows on the live site
The Squarepaste widget only appears inside the Squarespace editor, so visitors never see a feedback tab and your client never has to install an extension. Read how to set Squarepaste up on Squarespace.
A conversation, not just tickets
Clients rarely write a tidy bug report. They ask questions, send photos and change their minds. Squarepaste gives each project a real-time chat with files and voice notes, and turns any message into a task when it becomes work.
Time and payment on the task
BugHerd hands time tracking to other apps and doesn’t take payment. In Squarepaste, an hourly task has its own timer and any task can carry a price your client pays through your Stripe account. See the task timer.
When BugHerd Is the Better Choice
Choose BugHerd if you run a team that tracks bugs into Jira, Linear or GitHub, if you need feedback on sites built on other platforms or on staging servers, or if you want video feedback and a public feedback tab for site visitors. It’s a stronger QA tool than Squarepaste is trying to be.
If your work is Squarespace sites for clients who need somewhere to talk to you as well as point at things, Squarepaste fits that better and costs less to start.
