OpenReplay vs LogRocket

From $199 per month (Cloud dedicated instance, billed hourly at $0.276)

From $176 per month (Core, around 25k sessions)

Self-hosting costs only infrastructure and is the main reason to pick OpenReplay. Managed cloud is an instance you rent rather than a per-session rate, though a usage-based serverless option also exists.

Priced on the sessions you capture — analytics, logs and errors are unlimited. Plans are Core, Pro and Enterprise, and Pro is included free above 100k sessions a month.

Self-hosted community edition is free and unlimited.

14-day trial with full features; there is no permanently free plan.

• Full data sovereignty — recordings stay inside your infrastructure.
• Developer-focused feature set comparable to LogRocket.
• No volume-based pricing when self-hosted.

• The technical context makes a support ticket directly actionable by a developer.
• Error tracking and replay in one tool can replace a separate error monitor.
• State-management integration is unmatched for React and Redux applications.

• Self-hosting session replay is a non-trivial operational commitment, including storage.
• Smaller community and fewer integrations than the commercial tools.
• Analytics and funnel features are thinner.

• Session pricing escalates on high-traffic consumer sites, and there is no free tier to grow into — only a 14-day trial.
• Recording network payloads requires careful configuration to avoid capturing secrets.
• Less suited to marketing and conversion analysis than a dedicated experience-analytics tool.

Privacy-constrained or high-volume teams that cannot use a hosted replay vendor.

Engineering teams that want to debug production issues from a recording.
