# Temps vs LogRocket

> LogRocket has a 14-day free trial rather than a free plan; Core starts at $176/month for 25,000 sessions, priced by session rather than by seat. Temps includes rrweb-based session replay with deployments, analytics and error tracking, unmetered when self-hosted.

Session replay without the per-session meter.

## Short answer

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 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.

## TL;DR

| Dimension | Temps | LogRocket | Better fit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Cost at 25,000 sessions/month | $0 — your server's disk | $176/mo (Core) | Temps |
| Scaling behaviour | Flat — no per-session meter | Scales with sessions captured | Temps |
| Replay tooling depth | Search, playback, error linking | AI summaries, issue detection, heatmaps | LogRocket |
| Where recordings are stored | Your own server | LogRocket's cloud | Temps |
| Free tier | Unlimited self-hosted | 14-day trial only | Temps |

## Key differences

- **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.

## Pricing

| Item | Temps | LogRocket |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Free tier | Unlimited self-hosted | 14-day trial |

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.

## Choose Temps if

- 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

## Choose LogRocket if

- 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)

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.
