Chrome UX Report
Google's public dataset of real Chrome users' Core Web Vitals
RUMvision
EU-based real-user monitoring for Core Web Vitals and third parties
Which one is for you
Pick Chrome UX Report if
- Fits if you want your site's Core Web Vitals as Google's real-user data records them
- Works for analysts studying web performance trends with SQL
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your site gets little traffic, as pages and origins below the threshold show no data
- Not for you if most of your visitors use other browsers, as it counts eligible Chrome users only
- Tight if you need figures by country, which only the origin-level BigQuery tables have
- Watch out: BigQuery needs a Google Cloud account with billing, and queries past the free tier are charged
Pick RUMvision if
- Fits if you run a large Shopify or Magento shop with millions of pageviews a month
- Works for EU companies that want RUM without a cookie consent banner
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your site is small, as the floor is €150 a month before VAT, and PayPal adds a 3.4% fee
- Skip it if you want to try it first, as the pricing page shows no free plan or trial
- Watch out: monitoring stops for the rest of the month at the pageview limit, unless autoscaling at €25 more per million is on
- Tight if you outgrow Growth, as extra domains are €20 a month each and prepaid pageviews €75 per million
- Not for you if you want lab tests as well, as it measures real visits only
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAChrome UX ReportGood | 1.6GPARUMvisionWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFree from Google: the dataset, both APIs and CrUX Vis cost nothing, and BigQuery queries are free up to Google Cloud's monthly free tier. | DGrowth is €150 a month before VAT, about $175, for 1.5M pageviews on 2 domains, or €1,620 a year. That's in this category's dearest tenth, which starts at $99, and about six times its $29 middle. With no smaller plan, one modest site pays the same €150. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree outright. The APIs need a Google Cloud API key, and only BigQuery use past the free tier is charged. | FNothing free: the pricing page shows no free plan and no free trial. The setup call comes with a paid plan. |
| Features | DOne narrow job: real-user Core Web Vitals for origins and pages with enough Chrome traffic, as data. It runs no tests and suggests no fixes, and sites below its traffic threshold show nothing. | CReal-time RUM by template, automatic release checks, third-party script scores, 45+ dimensions, CrUX competitor charts, an MCP server and an API. It does real-user monitoring fully, but that's one part of technical SEO, with no lab tests or crawling. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. CrUX Vis is a dashboard you just open, but the APIs need an API key and the BigQuery tables need SQL and a Cloud account. | CNo rating on record. A JavaScript snippet goes on your site, and with 45+ dimensions there's a fair amount to learn; Growth includes a setup call. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with the CrUX API, the History API and BigQuery, and it feeds PageSpeed Insights and Search Console. | BWeb only, with Google Tag Manager, Shopify, Magento, Slack, Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai and AWS CloudFront listed, plus an API and an MCP server. |
| Best for | real Chrome users' speed data for popular sites | real-user monitoring for large online shops |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
