Pay users to find bugs, not engineers to chase them
Bugly lets everyday users submit simple screenshots that become rich bug reports and AI-generated fix scripts—rewarding reporters for their eye while freeing your team to focus on roadmap work.
How It Works

Keep using your issue tracker, your Git workflow, and your IDE. Bugly just makes sure the small stuff gets found, reported, and fixed without pulling your engineers off the next big thing.
Coming Soon
We're constantly evolving Bugly to make bug reporting and fixing even more powerful. Here's what's on the horizon.
Automated Agent Fixes
In-app AI agents that can analyze your codebase and propose safe patches and draft PRs for selected bugs (always under your review).
Bug Extraction from Videos
Analyze screen recordings and video walkthroughs to automatically detect and extract bug reports from visual demonstrations.
Deeper Issue Grouping & Deduping
Smarter clustering of similar reports so you see one canonical bug with all related context and reporters.
Connect to Your Repo
Optional connections to GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket so Bugly can map bugs to files/components and, later, propose code-level fixes more intelligently.
Connect to Your Analytics
Connect with your favorite product analytics tools (Amplitude, PostHog, and others) to estimate how many users are seeing a given bug and derive deeper insights into real-world impact.
Integrations with Project Management Tools
Future connections to tools like Linear, Jira, and Asana so unlocked and fixed bugs can sync into your existing workflows and be tracked alongside the rest of your backlog.
Private Hunts with Favorite Reporters
Invite Priority Reporters into focused bug hunts on high-value surfaces like onboarding or billing.
Full API & Webhook Access
Complete API access and webhooks to build custom integrations with your existing tools and workflows. Extend Bugly however you need.

Help Grow Your Earning Opportunities
When you sign up for Bugly, you unlock the ability to report bugs on any website or app you use. The more companies that join Bugly, the more places you can earn from. If you use a product that isn't on Bugly yet, encourage them to sign up—when they do, you've just added a new source of income to your portfolio.
How Credits Work
- •When you report a bug, you earn credits when companies unlock your report and generate AI fixes. Credits can be redeemed for money or crypto.
- •First reporter advantage: whoever reports the bug first gets the largest share of the credit pool.
- •Priority Reporter boost: if a company has marked you as a Priority Reporter and you're among the first to report that bug, you get an even larger chunk of the pool.
- •If you're the only reporter when the company pays out, you get the entire user share for that bug.
- •You also build a public profile showing your accepted reports, hit rate, and specialties that you can share with employers or clients.
Turn Your Attention to Detail Into a Track Record
Every reporter builds a public profile with acceptance rates, specialties, and a portfolio of validated issues. Include it with job applications to demonstrate your eye for quality and initiative.

Why Build Your Profile?
Stand Out in Job Applications
QA engineers, designers, and product managers can include their Bugly profile with applications to demonstrate attention to detail and initiative.
Build Credibility Over Time
Your acceptance rate and specialty badges prove your expertise. Higher-rated reporters get priority on high-value bounties.
Verifiable Track Record
Every bug report is validated by the company. Your profile becomes a portfolio of real-world quality assurance work.
Priority Reporters
Some reporters build such a strong track record that companies want to hear from them first.
Companies can mark you as a Priority Reporter when you consistently submit high-quality, accepted bugs.
Get a direct pipeline of reports from companies you've proven yourself to—private queues or higher-visibility channels for their products.
When multiple people report the same bug, reporters that companies mark as Priority get a larger share of the reward pool on duplicate bugs for those companies.
This lets companies lean more heavily on the reporters they trust most, while still rewarding the broader community.
