A LogRocket alternative for teams who want the pattern, not the recording.
LogRocket lets developers replay a session with its console and network log to debug one user's problem. Trace looks at all visits at once: which errors and dead ends cost the most, what your coding agent should fix first, and whether the fix worked.
Keep LogRocket if you need
- Debugging one user's bug report with their exact session
- Console and network logs attached to a replay
- An all-in-one tool your support and engineering already share
Choose Trace if you want
- Frontend errors ranked by how many visits they broke
- No recordings of your users, and no cookies by default
- A loop from problem to agent fix to a verdict on your goal

Moving from LogRocket: what maps to what
LogRocket answers 'what happened to this user?'. Trace answers 'what is happening to everyone?'.

| An error with its replay | The error, its page, and the share of visits it broke |
| Issue prioritisation | Problems ranked by visits affected |
| Funnels | Funnels in trace.json |
| identify() | trace.identify() with a hash you make |

Questions from LogRocket users
Can I still debug a single user's bug?
Not with Trace. Keep LogRocket or rely on your error tracker's stack traces for that.
Will two scripts slow my site?
