Which one is for you
Pick LiveSession if
- Fits if you want to watch real sessions on a site with under 1,000 visits a month
- Works for support teams that want replays inside Intercom or Zendesk
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free: 1,000 sessions a month and 1 month of data
- Too light for dashboards, custom events or Slack alerts on Basic, as those are Pro
- Pricey if your traffic grows, because the price follows recorded sessions up to 150,000 a month
- Watch out: the listed prices are the annually billed ones
Pick LogRocket if
- Fits if your engineers keep failing to reproduce bugs that users report
- Works for support teams whose tickets need the logs and network calls behind them
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you just want replays, at $83 a month for 10,000 sessions on yearly billing
- Tight if you stay free, with 1,000 sessions a month
- Skip it if you're a marketer who wants heatmaps without the developer tools
- Watch out: Core stops below 100,000 sessions, where Pro is $717 a month, and seats and add-ons change the final price
- Watch out: the calculator shows yearly figures, but the FAQ says billing is monthly unless you arrange yearly with sales

| Value for money | C$54 a month for 5,000 sessions on Basic, billed annually. That sits in the middle of what analytics tools charge, and Pro is $83 for 10,000. | D$83 a month billed yearly for 10,000 sessions on Core, about what a 10,000-visitor site needs.

| Free plan and trial | CFree plan with 1,000 sessions a month, 3 team members and 2 projects. Data is kept for 1 month, so a normal site hits the limit quickly. | CFree forever up to 1,000 sessions a month, which a busy site passes in days, plus a 14-day trial of everything with no card. Fine for a side project, not for a real product. |
| Features | CSession replay, heatmaps, clickmaps and funnels. Dashboards, custom events and Slack alerts are missing from Basic. | BReplays with logs, network calls and errors, performance monitoring, funnels, path analysis, and heat and rage-click maps, with unlimited analytics events. That's the whole replay job, aimed at developers. Galileo AI and role-based access need Pro at $292. |

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.
