The report card
Best for real-user speed monitoring tied to deployments
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Raygun Real User Monitoring is for
- Fits if you ship often and want to see speed change per release
- Works for teams that want per-customer session lookups
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $120 against $80 billed annually
- Tight if you want alerts, as Core Web Vitals alerts, integrations and custom dashboards start at Team
- Watch out: sessions beyond your quota are charged on demand at $0.002
- Watch out: the pricing table mixes session and error labels
- Skip it if you want visitor analytics, as this is speed monitoring only
Good to know
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.
