How we grade them
| 2.2GPALogRocketFair | 3.2GPAPostHogVery 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. | AA site with 10,000 visitors a month fits in the free 1M events and 5,000 recordings, so the figure is $0. There's no base fee after that, just usage from $0.00005 an event. Boost, at $250 a month, is only for SSO, HIPAA and more projects. |
| 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. | BNo card and no time limit: 1M events, 5,000 recordings, 1M flag requests and 1,500 survey responses every month, with unlimited members. Usage stops at the limit, so no surprise bill. You get 1 project, and recordings are kept a month. |
| 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. | AAnalytics, web analytics, replays, flags, A/B tests, surveys, error tracking, logs and a data warehouse with pipelines in and out. Graded against Amplitude, Mixpanel and Heap, it covers the whole job, and none of them bundles errors, logs and a warehouse too. |
| 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. | CNo rating on record. The cloud version is a snippet and a sign-up, but there are a lot of products to learn and events to plan. The free self-hosted version is a Docker deploy PostHog doesn't officially support, which is a developer's job. |
| 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 only, so it can't reach an A. It pulls data in from Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce and Postgres, sends events out to Braze, Klaviyo and others, and works with Snowflake, BigQuery and Zendesk. |
| Best for | debugging what broke in a user's session | a whole product toolkit on one free allowance |

Who each one suits
LogRocket
- Engineering teams reproducing bugs that users report
- Product teams finding where users struggle in a web app
- Regulated companies that need replay data kept on their own servers
PostHog
- Startups and developers who want many product tools under one bill
- Teams that want to cap spend with a billing limit per product
- Companies that prefer open-source software they can host themselves
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.
PostHog
- Usage is metered per product, so the monthly bill moves with traffic; billing limits can be set for each product to cap it.
- SSO enforcement, a HIPAA BAA and unlimited projects need the $250-a-month Boost package on top of usage; SAML sign-in needs Scale at $750.
- The free plan keeps recordings for 1 month and data for 1 year, allows 1 project, and drops events past its limits.
- Self-hosted PostHog is officially unsupported and has no tagged releases; PostHog recommends always running the latest image.
