A mobile-first Shake alternative
Shake is a capable bug-reporting product for apps and web. BugScreen is the alternative for mobile QA teams that want screenshot-triggered reports and automatic handoff to Jira, GitHub, or ClickUp.
Built for the mobile QA loop.
Capture from a screenshot
Testers trigger a report the moment they spot a bug — no shake gesture, no separate app to open.
Mobile context, attached
Device, OS, app version, and logs are packaged automatically so engineers can reproduce the issue fast.
Lands in your tracker
Reports file straight into Jira, GitHub, or ClickUp — the board your team already works from.
Side by side.

TL;DR
Teams usually start looking for a Shake alternative when the platform has grown heavier than the problem in front of them: they want a tester's screenshot to become a well-formed ticket, and not much else. That's the whole of what BugScreen does — mobile-first capture, context attached automatically, and handoff to the tracker your engineers already open. If that's the job you're hiring a tool for, BugScreen is the leaner choice.
When Shake is the better fit
Switching isn't always the right call. Stay on Shake if your team leans on the parts of its platform BugScreen doesn't try to cover, or if it's already embedded in workflows across the org. BugScreen is the better move when mobile bug capture is the part you actually use and the rest is overhead you'd rather not carry.
Common questions
How hard is it to move? You don't migrate anything up front — install the SDK in one test app, point it at your existing Jira, GitHub, or ClickUp board, and run a QA cycle alongside Shake before retiring it. Will reports look different? They land as tickets in the same tracker, with device, OS, app version, and logs attached, captured from a screenshot rather than a shake. What about pricing? BugScreen's plans and limits are the live ones on the pricing page, so there are no custom quotes to chase before you can try it.
