The Shake alternative built for client work
Shake is a capable bug reporting tool for product and QA teams. ClientLens takes the same shake-to-report workflow and rebuilds it around the people agencies actually collect feedback from: clients.
Start Free TrialSame gesture. Different workflow.
On the surface, Shake and ClientLens look similar: your testers shake the device, annotate a screenshot, and a structured bug report shows up with device context and logs. Both do that part well.
The difference is everything around it. Shake is built for product and QA teams testing their own app. ClientLens is built for freelancers and agencies building apps for clients — where the reporter is a restaurant owner or a marketing manager, not a QA engineer. That means voice notes instead of forced form-filling, AI that classifies and even drafts the fix as a pull request, per-client project organization, and a magic-link portal where clients track their own reports.
Both tools publish self-serve pricing. ClientLens starts at $4.99/week — see the full breakdown on the pricing page.

Where ClientLens fits better
Four reasons client-facing teams pick ClientLens over Shake.
Your clients are the reporters, not your QA team
Shake is a solid bug reporting tool aimed at product and QA teams testing their own apps. ClientLens is built for the other side of the table: agencies whose reporters are clients — people who will never open a bug tracker but will happily shake a phone and draw on a screenshot.
Voice notes for clients who hate typing
Clients rarely write good reproduction steps. With ClientLens they record a voice note while looking at the annotated screenshot, and AI transcribes and summarizes it into the report. You get context; they get to keep it casual.
From report to draft PR, automatically
ClientLens does not stop at triage. On Pro and Agency plans, AI analyzes the report against your codebase and opens a draft pull request with a suggested fix. Review, adjust, merge — the feedback loop closes itself.
A portal that makes your agency look bigger
Every client gets a magic-link portal showing the status of what they reported — no accounts, no onboarding. It replaces the "any update on that bug?" emails and makes a two-person shop feel like a polished agency.
When Shake is the better choice
Shake is a well-made product, and for some teams it is the right call. Choose Shake if:
- You are an in-house product or QA team testing your own app — there are no external clients in your feedback loop.
- Your workflow centers on structured internal test cycles run by trained testers who write proper reproduction steps.
- You only need bug reporting and crash capture, and features like a client portal or AI-drafted pull requests would go unused.
Choose ClientLens if the people reporting bugs are clients, stakeholders, or beta testers who need feedback to be effortless — and you want AI to handle triage and first-draft fixes so you can spend your hours building.
Shake alternative: common questions
Everything people ask when comparing ClientLens and Shake.
ClientLens is a strong Shake alternative if your feedback comes from clients rather than an internal QA team. It covers the same shake-to-report and annotated-screenshot workflow, and adds voice notes, AI classification, AI fix suggestions with draft PRs, and a magic-link client portal — starting at $4.99/week.
Both tools let testers shake a device to report a bug with a screenshot, device info, and logs. The difference is who they are built for: Shake targets product and QA teams at mid-market companies, while ClientLens is designed for freelancers and small agencies managing multiple client apps — with per-project organization, a non-technical client portal, and AI that turns reports into draft pull requests.
Yes. Shake-to-report is enabled by default in every ClientLens SDK (React Native, Flutter, iOS, Android), alongside a floating feedback button and a programmatic trigger. You can tune shake sensitivity or disable any trigger per project.
ClientLens integrates with Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Trello, Asana, Monday, Notion, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and custom webhooks. Reports arrive with the annotated screenshot, device context, and AI classification already attached.
Starter is $4.99/week or $17.99/month, Pro is $15.99/week or $57.99/month, and Agency is $36.99/week or $129.99/month. Every plan starts with a free trial — no credit card required — and includes a 14-day money-back guarantee.
If you are an in-house product or QA team testing your own app at scale — with dedicated testers, structured test cycles, and no external clients in the loop — Shake is a focused, well-built tool for that workflow. ClientLens wins when reports come from clients and non-technical stakeholders, and when you want AI to carry reports all the way to a draft PR.
