How much does a session replay platform cost?

Session replay tools enable the capture of user interactions on websites, and a recent analysis highlights Statsig as the most cost-effective option across various usage levels up to 100,000 sessions per month. The study involved a detailed cost comparison among several vendors, revealing that LogRocket and Hotjar are more expensive for sites with over 5,000 sessions, while Statsig offers a free tier with significantly more sessions than PostHog. The comparison used standardized assumptions, focusing on daily and monthly session pricing models, with daily models used by platforms like Hotjar and monthly models by Statsig and others. Beyond cost, it is crucial to consider additional features such as heat maps, user feedback tools, and integration capabilities, as well as the platform's scalability and performance to ensure it meets traffic demands effectively. The analysis encourages further review of the detailed methodology provided and suggests that Statsig’s free tier can be a beneficial starting point for those seeking comprehensive insights into user behavior.
