DebugBear vs RUMvision (2026): which should you pick?

Pick DebugBear if

• Fits if you need lab, real-user and CrUX speed data for a site in one account
• Works for developers who want slow-page fixes as prompts for Claude Code or Cursor

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you have one small site, at $99 a month on yearly billing with no free plan
• Tight if you run several sites, as Startup covers 1 project and Team at $249 has 5
• Watch out: extra real-user page views, tests and projects are added for an extra monthly fee
• Not for you if you need SSO or invoice payment, which are Enterprise only at a custom price

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

DebugBear

Synthetic monitoring

Scheduled and on-demand Lighthouse lab tests from test locations around the world, including pages behind a login and multi-step user flows.

Real user monitoring

Measures Core Web Vitals for real visitors and shows which page elements and scripts cause slow interactions that hurt INP.

Google CrUX data

Tracks Chrome User Experience Report data over time and compares your site's real-visitor speed with competitors.

Waterfalls and recommendations

Request waterfalls tied to CPU and rendering activity, automatic fix suggestions, and ready-made prompts for coding agents such as Claude Code or Cursor.

Page speed experiments

Try an optimization on a test run to see its effect before deploying the change to the live site.

Alerts, comparisons and exports

Automatic alerts on regressions, before-and-after comparisons, chart annotations, video exports and PDF or CSV reports. Data is kept for 24 months.

RUMvision

Real-time Core Web Vitals

Field data appears within hours of a deploy instead of after Search Console's 28-day window, with UX scores per page template and per metric.

Automated release checks

Checks every release for layout shifts, lazy-loading mistakes, slow interactions and bfcache problems, opening issues that close once fixed.

Third-party script scores

Rates each third-party script, such as consent tools, heatmaps and chat widgets, as Good, Moderate or Poor by its measured effect on visitors.

45+ dimensions and custom timing

Break data down by template, element, cache status, device, country, connection and more, or add server-timing and custom metrics.

MCP server and API

Ask an AI client about your RUM data through the RUMvision MCP server, and post deploy annotations from a CI/CD pipeline through the API.

Reports and competitor tracking

Weekly digests by email or Slack broken down by template, and CrUX trend charts that put competitors' Core Web Vitals beside your own.
