Which Session Replay Software Do App Developers Trust Most?
Hey everyone,
I’m exploring which session replay tools app developers consider the most reliable. With so many platforms offering heatmaps, replays, and event tracking, it’s not always clear which ones actually deliver the depth and consistency mobile dev teams need.
From crash diagnostics to understanding user flows, the right tool can make a big difference. I’ve been looking at options featured in G2’s Session Replay category and would love to know what the dev community thinks of these picks:
Often recommended for front-end teams, LogRocket blends session replay with performance monitoring and console logging, giving developers context-rich insights when debugging. Its ability to surface Redux actions, network requests, and JavaScript errors alongside the replay is a strong plus.
A free tool that’s surprisingly developer-friendly. While it’s lighter on integrations and diagnostics, it does a solid job with session recordings, heatmaps, and click tracking. Its rage click detection can be helpful for spotting frustrated user behavior quickly.
Tailored specifically for mobile apps, UXCam offers session replays, heatmaps, and gesture recognition. It also supports user journey mapping and crash analytics, which is great for app teams focused on retention and UX.
FullStory stands out for its powerful analytics layer on top of session replay. Developers and product teams can use it to track custom events, debug issues, and uncover trends with searchable user behavior data. It’s robust, but may come with a steeper learning curve.
Geared toward enterprise apps, Glassbox offers detailed session replays, advanced analytics, and real-time monitoring. It supports both web and mobile environments and can provide insights at scale, though it may be more than smaller teams need.
If you're building or maintaining an app and have used any of these tools, which ones have been the most dependable for your workflows? Would love to hear what’s worked well — or not — in real-world dev environments. Appreciate any feedback!
