The short version

  • Only Bun has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: BugHerd priced per project rather than per organization, so agencies managing many client sites can reach $125 to $150 per month per project tier; Bun linux requires kernel 5.6 or higher (5.1 minimum but with compatibility issues); older systems not supported
