Tentomushi vs Shakebugs
Shakebugs is a mobile-first shake-to-report SDK with AI crash grouping and product analytics. Tentomushi is a web-based screen recorder with no SDK to embed — and its AI writes the actual bug report for you, not just groups crashes.
The short version
Shakebugs is a strong choice if you're shipping a mobile app and want shake-to-report bug capture, AI-assisted crash grouping, and product analytics baked into your SDK. Tentomushi's advantage is that nothing needs installing anywhere in the flow — no SDK to embed, for your team's own recording or for clients reporting from outside it. It captures a browser tab, a desktop app, or the full screen and has AI turn that straight into a written report with reproduction steps, and the same AI Report Link lets clients report with no account and nothing to install: recording their screen or uploading a screenshot/video on desktop, or uploading a screenshot/video on mobile web, where there's no live recording.

Where Tentomushi goes further
Web-based, no SDK required
Shakebugs needs its SDK built into your mobile or web app before anyone can shake-to-report a bug. Tentomushi's core flow is a browser-based recorder — record a tab, a desktop app, or your full screen and start reporting with no code integration at all.
AI writes the actual report, not just crash grouping
Shakebugs' AI groups and triages crashes so patterns are easier to spot, but a person still has to turn a recording into a written bug report. Tentomushi's AI processes the recording and writes the title, description, and reproduction steps for you (automatic severity tagging is on the roadmap) — see AI Analysis & Translation.
Dramatically lower price floor
Shakebugs' Standard plan is $75/month once you're past the free Basic tier (Premium drops to $15/month for early-stage startups in year one, but that's a temporary discount on their higher tier, not their baseline). Tentomushi starts at €9/month flat — see the full breakdown on pricing.
Client-facing reporting, with translation
Shakebugs is built for capturing bugs from inside your own app via an embedded SDK. Tentomushi's AI Report Link redirects a user to Tentomushi with just an email — no account, no SDK — capturing on desktop by recording their screen or uploading a screenshot/video, or on mobile web by uploading a screenshot/video since there's no live recording there, and reports can be auto-translated for distributed teams — see our guide on managing bug reports across time zones and languages.
Pricing side by side
Shakebugs: Basic is free, Standard is $75/month, and Premium is $125/month (Premium is discounted to $15/month for early-stage startups in their first year).
Tentomushi: Blue at €9/month for a solo developer (up to 100 reports, 15 AI analyses, 15 AI translations), Blue Team at €49/month for up to 6 users, Green Team at €149/month for up to 20 users — flat per-plan pricing. All non-custom plans include a 30-day partial refund guarantee — you only pay for the reports and AI usage you actually consume.
Shakebugs' $75+/month floor outside the startup discount can be a tough fit for freelancers and small agencies — see our take on bug tracking tools for agencies. Shakebugs' pricing was current as of this page's last update — always confirm current pricing on shakebugs.com before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
Is Tentomushi a Shakebugs alternative?
Yes, for teams that want bug reporting without embedding an SDK. Shakebugs is a mobile-first shake-to-report SDK for iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, and web that needs to be integrated into your app. Tentomushi's core flow is web-based screen recording with no SDK to install, and its AI writes a structured report — title, description, and reproduction steps — directly from the recording. (Automatic severity tagging is on the roadmap, not yet shipped.)
Does Shakebugs have AI-generated bug reports like Tentomushi?
Not in the same sense. Shakebugs uses AI to group and triage crashes, which helps you spot patterns across many crash events. It doesn't produce a written narrative report with reproduction steps from a single recording. Tentomushi's AI analyzes each screen recording and writes that report for you.
How does Tentomushi's pricing compare to Shakebugs?
Shakebugs' Basic plan is free, then Standard is $75/month and Premium is $125/month (Premium is discounted to $15/month for early-stage startups in their first year). Tentomushi's Blue plan starts at €9/month flat for a solo developer, with Blue Team at €49/month for up to 6 users — well under Shakebugs' $75/month standard floor for teams that don't qualify for the startup discount.
Can clients use Tentomushi without installing an SDK, unlike Shakebugs?
Yes. Shakebugs requires its SDK to be built into your app for shake-to-report capture. Tentomushi's AI Report Link embeds in your product instead — it redirects a user to Tentomushi where they identify with just an email, capture the issue on desktop (record their screen or upload a screenshot/video) or on mobile web (upload a screenshot or video, since there's no live recording there) with no sign-in and nothing to install, then review and submit the AI-written report before returning to your app.
