LogRocket alternative
LogRocket records sessions along with network requests, console logs and app state, which makes it great for debugging complex front ends. It's priced by recorded sessions. Datasense is the affordable alternative for indie and SaaS teams: session replay and JavaScript errors next to your traffic, goals and revenue, on flat monthly plans.
Free up to 5k events a month. No card.
LogRocket is the better tool if you debug with network and console logs inside the replay, or need AI issue detection. Datasense is the better tool if you want replays, errors and web analytics together at a much lower price.
Side by side, on the things people ask about most. Checked against LogRocket's own site in October 2026.

LogRocket's Core plan starts at about $83 a month for 10k sessions, billed yearly. Datasense Pro is $9 a month for 5k recordings and 50k analytics events, and Team is $49 a month for 50k recordings.
LogRocket captures network requests, console logs and app state with each session, which helps when you debug. Datasense replays the page and what the visitor did, and leaves out console output and network requests on purpose.
Datasense is web analytics first. Each recording links from the visitor's source, pages, goals and payments, and from the error or form answer it belongs to, so marketing and product can use the same tool.
LogRocket has a free plan with 1k sessions a month. Core starts at about $83 a month for 10k sessions on yearly billing, and Pro is required above 100k sessions. Datasense is free up to 5k events without replay, $9 a month for 50k events and 5k recordings, and $49 a month for 200k events and 50k recordings.
It takes about five minutes, and you don't have to turn anything off on day one.
Create a free account and paste one script tag into your site's <head>. Leave LogRocket where it is for now.
Compare visitors, top pages and sources. Datasense often shows more visitors once the proxy is on, because ad blockers stop blocking it.
When you're happy, delete the LogRocket snippet. Export your old data from LogRocket first if you want to keep it.
Or see all web analytics tools on one page.
Add one script tag, compare the numbers, then keep the one you like. The free plan is enough to test it.
