Best for real-user speed monitoring tied to deployments

- Works for teams that want per-customer session lookups

- Watch out: the pricing table mixes session and error labels
- Skip it if you want visitor analytics, as this is speed monitoring only

Keep it
The plain part of Raygun Real User Monitoring you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 100 other website and product analytics tools grade higher. It costs $960 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, Slack, Microsoft Teams and GitHub among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Raygun Real User Monitoring’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Raygun Real User Monitoring?
Raygun Real User Monitoring tracks how a website or app performs for real visitors on desktop and mobile. It reports Core Web Vitals, gives a load-time waterfall for each page, and can show a single user's sessions. It is one of three Raygun products, alongside Crash Reporting and Application Performance Monitoring.
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan; the entry paid tier is $80 a month billed annually ($120 billed monthly).
- The pricing table labels RUM quotas inconsistently (some labels say errors); its footnote refers to reserved sessions, charged on demand at $0.002 beyond them.
- Core Web Vitals alerts, integrations and custom dashboards start at the Team plan.
- Saving 33% needs annual billing; Crash Reporting lists SAML SSO and priority support on Business.
