Margin vs BugHerd
BugHerd is an established visual feedback tool for websites, Figma files, PDFs and images, with a task board. Margin is narrower: feedback on live and staging sites, made for a coding agent to fix.
The short version
Both let clients pin comments to a page without an account, and both offer MCP access for AI agents.
BugHerd covers more kinds of material and has more integrations and a client board. Margin focuses on the element, device and build context an agent needs.
The entry plans differ in how they count: BugHerd by five members, Margin per team with you and up to two more members.

Choose BugHerd if / Choose Margin if
Choose BugHerd if
- You collect feedback on Figma files, PDFs or images, not only websites.
- You want a client-facing board, branding, SSO or the long list of integrations (Jira, Asana, Linear and more on higher plans).
- You want a mature product that is on sale today.
Choose Margin if
- Your feedback ends up in a coding agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others read the comment, the selector and the screenshot and reply in the thread.
- You work with many client sites and want a price per team, not per seat count of five.
- You want screenshots rendered on the server and stored in the EU (Cloudflare D1 and R2, EU jurisdiction), deleted 30 days after a comment is resolved.
Margin and BugHerd: questions
No. Margin comments on live and staging websites. If your clients review Figma files or PDFs, BugHerd is the better fit.
The Start plan (€9.99 a month, you and up to 2 more members) costs less than BugHerd's entry plan, but it includes fewer members. Compare what your team needs, not only the price.
Yes. BugHerd lists MCP as a beta feature in every plan. Margin offers seven MCP tools (five read, two write) with project-scoped tokens or OAuth.
