Request Metrics vs RUMvision (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Request Metrics if

• Fits if you want real-user Core Web Vitals and weekly Lighthouse tests on one bill
• Works for teams of any size, as every paid plan includes unlimited users

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free: 1 site, 1,000 page views a month and 24 hours of data
• Watch out: page views are capped per minute, so traffic above the limit during a spike is left out of the data
• Not for you if you want a refund, as payments aren't refunded and cancelling deletes the account's data at once
• Pricey if you need performance budgets or error monitoring, which start at Professional, $88 a month billed yearly
• Skip it if you want to host it yourself, which is offered only on Enterprise plans

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

Request Metrics

• Monitored page views are capped per minute, so traffic above the limit during a spike is left out of the data rather than billed.
• The free plan keeps 24 hours of data for one site; RUM and Lighthouse tests start at Essentials, $34 a month billed annually.
• Its billing page says payments are not refunded, and cancelling closes the account at once and deletes its data.
• Self-hosting is offered only on Enterprise plans.

RUMvision

• Prices are in euros, exclude VAT and start at €150 a month; the pricing page shows no free plan or free trial.
• Monitoring stops for the rest of the month once the pageview limit is reached, unless autoscaling (at €25 more per million than prepaid) is turned on.
• Extra domains cost €20 a month each and extra prepaid pageviews €75 per million a month.
• PayPal payments carry a 3.4% processing fee.

Request Metrics

Lighthouse performance testing

Lighthouse tests on desktop and mobile check your top pages every week, and on-demand runs confirm whether a change made a page faster.

Real-user monitoring

Records how actual visitors load your pages, with load times, device types and network speeds, shown in real time.

Core Web Vitals attribution

Points to the elements that are slow to paint or that shift during load, and to the slow resources and third-party vendors behind them.

Competitor benchmarks

Uses Chrome UX Report data to track the real-user scores of competing sites alongside your own.

Privacy and ad-block handling

The vendor says it uses no cookies, stores no IP addresses and keeps data in Canada; a custom hostname keeps browser extensions from blocking the script.

CSV export

Any dashboard or filtered report can be exported as CSV for analysis elsewhere.

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.
