Our Verdict

Good privacy-first rrweb framework for engineers who want replay without sending pixels to a SaaS vendor.

Pros

  • Open-source and self-hostable for full data control
  • Built on rrweb so replay fidelity matches commercial tools
  • Custom network interceptors help debug API issues
  • No per-session pricing when you run your own infra

Cons

  • Self-hosting means you own the scaling and retention bill
  • Minimal product analytics, funnels or dashboards
  • Smaller community means less plug-and-play tooling
  • Requires engineering time to operationalize
Best for: Privacy-sensitive teams with engineering capacity to self-host replay. Not for: Marketing or product teams expecting turnkey dashboards and support.

Good fit if you need

  • Self-hosted session replay with full data ownership
