## Ways to pay less

- **Save 33% with annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page labels annual billing as saving 33% against monthly: Basic RUM is $80 billed annually against $120 billed monthly. Source: https://raygun.com/pricing

## Key features

- **Core Web Vitals and UX metrics:** Tracks Google's Core Web Vitals from real users, with root cause analysis down to a single asset.
- **Page-level diagnostics:** A full waterfall of DNS, latency, SSL, server and transfer times for each page, with instance-level diagnostics for individual requests.
- **Filtering and segments:** Data can be filtered and compared by time, location, browser, device, release version or custom tags.
- **Customer Experience Monitoring:** Search an individual customer to see a breakdown of their sessions and errors.
- **Deployment tracking and alerts:** Watch the performance impact of each deployment, with custom alerts for slow pages and a daily Slack summary.

## Good for

- Development teams that want front-end performance data tied to releases
- Teams already using Raygun for crash reporting
- Web and mobile apps built with JavaScript, React, Angular, iOS or Android

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Raygun's RUM tracks Core Web Vitals and page-level timings from real users and ties them to each deployment. It has no free plan, starts at $80 a month for 100,000 sessions, and alerts and integrations wait for the $160 Team plan.

- **Value for money: C.** $80 a month billed annually ($120 monthly) for 100,000 sessions sits between the middle ($32) and the dearer quarter ($150) of analytics tools.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 14-day trial with no card. No free plan.
- **Features: C.** Core Web Vitals, waterfalls, filters, customer lookup and deployment tracking do the job of speed monitoring fully, but it is a smaller job than analytics.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You add a script and set up alerts, tags and dashboards.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, Jira and an API listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**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.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Slack, Microsoft Teams and GitHub among them, and has an API.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
