2. Bugherd
Price: Free-$99/month for 25 members
Contrary to popular belief, the launch of a new
site is not the end of a dev team's work. If
anything it's the point at which the sweat really
starts to build. As clients begin to receive
feedback, these garbled and conflicting
requests begin to filter back as emails, which
then get batted around before finally becoming
a bone of contention.

now". Proto.io does just this.
