Temps vs LogRocket
Session replay without the per-session meter.
Monthly cost at a glance
The short answer
Is Temps better than LogRocket? It depends on what you need. Here is what each one is, and what LogRocket has that Temps doesn't.
- LogRocket
- LogRocket prices by sessions captured: a 14-day free trial, then Core from $176/month for 25,000 sessions, with higher session tiers priced through its calculator and no per-seat fee.
- Temps
- Temps records comparable rrweb-style DOM sessions on your own server with no per-session meter — volume is bounded by disk — and includes error tracking and analytics.
- What LogRocket has that Temps doesn't
- AI session summaries, automatic issue detection and heatmaps. Both replay what happened in the browser; the difference is the meter and the tooling depth around it.

Why teams switch from LogRocket
LogRocket is a more capable session replay product and it prices honestly in public: Core starts at $176/month for 25,000 sessions, with no per-seat fee. Temps' replay is narrower, self-hosted and unmetered — the trade is depth against a meter.
- No per-session meter
- LogRocket scales with sessions captured: Core starts at $176/month for 25,000 and the price rises with each session tier. Self-hosted Temps replay is bounded by disk, so a traffic spike costs storage rather than a higher tier.
- Recordings stay in your boundary
- Replay captures what users typed and saw. Self-hosting keeps that inside your own infrastructure instead of a vendor's, which is usually a compliance question rather than a cost one.
- Bundled with the platform
- Replay, analytics, error tracking, uptime monitoring and deployments in one Rust binary, rather than replay as its own subscription beside the rest.
- Temps self-hosts on any plan; LogRocket only at Enterprise
- LogRocket offers self-hosted deployment at the Enterprise tier. With Temps, self-hosting is the default and free under MIT / Apache 2.0.

What it actually costs
LogRocket does not charge per seat, which is the right model and better than several competitors. The cost that grows is sessions: Core starts at $176/month for 25,000 and rises with each session tier. Whether that is expensive depends entirely on whether your team opens replays often enough to justify it — for teams that do, it is a working tool rather than a line item.

|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Unlimited self-hosted | 14-day trial |
| 25,000 sessions/mo | $0 self-hosted | $176/mo (Core) |
| Infrastructure | Free on your own VPS | $0 — hosted for you |

Which one should you choose?
Choose Temps if you…
- Session volume is what makes LogRocket expensive for you
- Recordings must stay on your own infrastructure without an Enterprise contract
- You want replay bundled with deployments, analytics and error tracking
- You want session replay without a per-session bill
- Replay is useful to you but not worth a dedicated subscription
What LogRocket does better than Temps
- You want AI session summaries and automatic issue detection
- Heatmaps and deeper frontend debugging are part of your workflow
- Your team opens replays daily — the tooling depth pays for itself
- You want a hosted product with support and no server to operate
- Session-based pricing already suits how your team works
Migrating from LogRocket
Easy difficulty
Swap the LogRocket SDK for @temps-sdk/react-analytics — both are browser SDKs capturing the DOM, so the integration is comparable in effort. Recordings do not transfer. The thing to check before switching is whether anyone depends on AI summaries, issue detection or heatmaps, none of which have a Temps equivalent.
Frequently asked questions
How much does LogRocket cost?
LogRocket prices by sessions captured per month. There is a 14-day free trial; Core starts at $176/month for 25,000 sessions and higher session tiers cost more; Pro and Enterprise are quoted through its pricing calculator and sales. There is no per-seat cost, and analytics, logs and errors are unlimited on every plan.
Does LogRocket have a free tier?
Not a permanent one: LogRocket's pricing page (October 2026) offers a 14-day free trial of all features, then Core from $176/month for 25,000 sessions. Self-hosted Temps has no session limit; storage is the limit.
Does LogRocket charge per seat?
No. LogRocket prices by sessions, and Enterprise lists unlimited seats. Temps has no seat or session pricing when self-hosted.
Can I move my LogRocket recordings to Temps?
