LogRocket
Session replay survived because the data has to be captured, not inferred.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the analytics job, so this one still earns its $69/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Models can read a stack trace but cannot record the user session. OpenAI, May 13, 2024 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 2 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Sentry and OpenReplay.
- What the call is worth $828/yr
- $69/mo at the entry paid tier — $828 a year per seat.

The backstory
LogRocket records what the user actually did before the error — DOM state, network calls, console output. No amount of model capability replaces having the recording. AI made LogRocket better rather than worse: it now summarises sessions and clusters issues. This is the archetype of a tool where AI is a feature, not a threat.
