Pick Bugasura if

- Too light for teams that want phone apps, as none are listed
- Tight if you store a lot of screenshots and video, as free storage stops at 50 GB

- Works for teams that only track defects
Look elsewhere if

- Tight if you need support: it is community-run by a small nonprofit
- Watch out: the download page recommends a source checkout over a packaged release
How we grade them
| 3.0GPABugasuraVery good | 2.0GPABugzillaFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AThe free plan has unlimited users, projects and bug reports, so it is free and substantial next to the $9 middle of the category. | CFree under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, but only if you host it yourself, which needs a server. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree forever with test management and 50 GB of storage. No cap a normal team would reach. | BFree to download with no caps, no trial and no account. You supply the server. |
| Features | CBug tracking, test management, browser capture and an MCP server. Its homepage and pricing page disagree on which Asuras are included or early access. | CSearch, reports and charts, custom fields, email filing, time tracking. It does defect tracking fully, but that is a smaller job than project management. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Projects and the Jira or GitHub links have to be set up. | DInstall from a source checkout on your own server, per the download page. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and a Chrome extension, with Jira, GitHub, Asana, Slack, ClickUp and Linear links. No desktop or mobile apps. | CWeb only, with extensions and web services but no integrations list. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
