How we grade them
| 2.2GPALogRocketFair | 3.2GPAMicrosoft ClarityVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$83 a month billed yearly for 10,000 sessions on Core, about what a 10,000-visitor site needs. Graded against the replay tools it's listed beside, that's dear: Fullstory and Clarity record that many for nothing. Unlimited errors and logs are what the money buys. | A$0 at any size, so $0 for a 10,000-visitor site too. Recordings, heatmaps, Copilot summaries and the Google Analytics link are all free, for unlimited sites and team members. Graded against Fullstory and Contentsquare, nothing here costs less. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | AEverything is free: unlimited sites, team members and traffic, always-on recordings, heatmaps and Copilot. There's no paid plan to push you towards. The one real limit is that data is kept for 30 days. |
| Features | BReplays with logs, network calls and errors, performance monitoring, funnels, path analysis, and heat and rage-click maps, with unlimited analytics events. The whole replay job, done for developers. Galileo AI and role-based access need Pro at $292. | CRecordings, heatmaps, rage and dead click flags, 40+ filters, Copilot summaries and mobile SDKs. It does the recording and heatmap job fully, but that's a smaller job than the suites do, and data is gone after 30 days. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. Setting it up means adding its SDK to your app, and it's built for developers reading logs and network calls, so non-technical teams will need a hand getting started. | BNo rating on record, but there's nothing to set up beyond a tracking code, or a plugin on WordPress, Shopify or Wix. Recordings start straight away and heatmaps build themselves. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, no desktop or phone app, though it records web and mobile apps. It connects to Jira, Zendesk, Intercom, Salesforce, Segment, Sentry, GitHub and Linear, and has an API. | BWeb, plus SDKs that record native iOS and Android, React Native and Flutter apps. It connects to Google Analytics, Tag Manager, WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix and Squarespace. There's no desktop or phone app to view it in. |
| Best for | debugging what broke in a user's session | free recordings and heatmaps, no traffic cap |

Worth knowing
LogRocket
- Prices on the calculator are annual figures shown per month; the page says the final price also depends on seats, retention length and add-ons.
- Core is sold only below 100,000 sessions a month; above that Pro is required, and from 4 million sessions Enterprise.
- Galileo AI features, role-based access and audit logs need Pro; streaming data export and self-hosting need Enterprise.
- Billing is monthly by default, according to the FAQ; annual pre-payment at a discount is arranged through sales.
Microsoft Clarity
- Recordings and data are kept only 30 days from the time of recording.
- Sites serving the EEA, UK and Switzerland must pass visitors' consent to Clarity; without it, recordings and funnels may be affected.
- Microsoft uses the anonymous behavior data it collects to improve its own products and machine learning models.
- Deleting one user's data means deleting the whole project.
