OpenReplay

What it is for

OpenReplay is an open-source session-replay desk: you watch a visit, open DevTools next to it, and you can self-host at $0 or run Dedicated from $199/month. Use it when the job is replays you start at OSS $0 or Dedicated $199, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official OpenReplay replay player (session timeline, console, activity rail) from the GitHub product still — not a pricing card. The player itself is ops of Session Replay.

Key features

• Session Replay — a recorded visit you scrub (pricing Session Replay; Getting Started). One session. DevTools (console / network / performance) are ops of this. The cover player is ops.
• Product Analytics — funnels, journeys, and web analytics on the same traffic (pricing Product Analytics). A count, not a replay. Heatmaps sit next to this.
• Heatmaps — click / move maps on a page (pricing Heatmaps). A map, not a session you play.
• Co-browse — join a live session to help (pricing Co-Browsing; Assist). A live call, not a recording. Spot bug reports sit here as a capture, not a replay.
• Self-host — the open-source app you run yourself; Dedicated is a managed VM from $199/month (pricing). A deploy, not a session. Serverless is usage-based SKU. Enterprise is custom on-prem.

OSS self-host is $0. Dedicated bills the VM, not a seat. Users, recordings, and retention are uncapped on the Dedicated card we fetched.

Who it's for

Best fit: product / eng teams who will stay on OSS self-host $0 while they record a first session, then start the Dedicated 7-day trial (no card) and land on $199/month when they do not want to run the stack.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-22 (Asia/Shanghai) from openreplay.com/pricing. Three deploys.

• Open-Source (self-host) — $0. You host it. Session replay, DevTools, product analytics, co-browse, Spot, MCP. Low-traffic / self-managed storage. Any cloud.
• Dedicated — from $199 / month, billed hourly at $0.276 / hour on the O1 card (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120 GB). 7-day trial, no card. Managed VM in OpenReplay Cloud or BYOC (AWS / GCP / Azure). SSO. Custom retention. 50 regions. No limits on users, recordings, or retention on the card. Up to 4 TB / 32 GB RAM / 8 vCPU as printed.
• Serverless — usage-based; pay for sessions you record (the page lists it as the third deploy). Confirm the live calculator — do not invent a session price.
• Enterprise — custom. On-prem. TB-scale. Custom SLA and retention.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location.

Limitations / costs

• Dedicated’s floor is $199. Hourly billing still lands near that O1 estimate.
• A replay desk, not an APM. For OpenTelemetry traces see SigNoz. For an event query lake see Axiom.

Alternatives

• SigNoz — OpenTelemetry APM + logs + metrics when you need traces, not a session movie.
• Axiom — event + metrics query when the job is APL, not a replay player.
• Umami — privacy pageview analytics when you will not record the DOM.
