// EDITOR'S TAKE
Nothing here reproduces BugHerd's pin-a-comment-on-the-page workflow for non-technical clients, so treat these as developer-side substitutes: highlight.io comes closest in practice, because a session replay plus the error it caused usually beats a hand-written report. Sentry is better if you mainly need triage, assignment and release tracking, and Bugsink does the same job on one small server.
