Overview

Full disclosure: at our startup Solved, we used Gleap before FlowBoard. Gleap is excellent at what it does — capturing user feedback, bug reports with screenshots, and session replays.

But Gleap is a feedback tool, not a project management tool. Once you capture that bug report, where does it go? Into a backlog you need to prioritize, assign, track, and release. That's where FlowBoard comes in. These tools don't really compete — they complement each other.

When to Use Each

Use FlowBoard for: managing dev backlog, priorities, releases.

The FlowBoard Import Data screen with the Bugs Board selected as the destination for imported reports

Use Gleap for: capturing user feedback, bug reports, and session data.

Bringing Your Gleap Data Across

If you're consolidating bug reports into FlowBoard, export them from Gleap as CSV or JSON and import under Settings → Import with the Bugs Board as the destination.

  • Map the reproduction detail. Gleap's description, steps and environment data can land in FlowBoard's bug context fields rather than being flattened into one blob.
  • Filter by status so closed reports stay in Gleap.
  • Duplicates are flagged - useful when the same bug was reported through several channels.

The Verdict

Use both. Gleap to capture feedback and bugs. FlowBoard to manage the work that comes from that feedback. Feed Gleap reports into your FlowBoard backlog.
