Samelogic vs LogRocket.
Choose your starting point.
Record an issue you can reproduce with Samelogic. Investigate captured user sessions, errors, and product behavior with LogRocket.
Free extension for desktop Chrome. Try it before signing up.
“What happened to our users?”
Explore captured sessions and diagnostics, then use analytics to understand behavior across your application.

What changes in practice.
Both products offer replay and inspection. How you capture the issue—and what you need next—shapes the choice.
| YOUR WORKFLOW | Deliberate browser recording | Captured sessions & analytics |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Install an extension. Start a recording. Capture a bug in desktop Chrome without adding an SDK to the application. Try recording and local replay before signing up. | Instrument your application. Initialize the SDK through npm or a script tag to capture sessions in your application. Documentation |
| Recording & diagnostics | Follow a reproduction you recorded. Replay the steps and inspect the affected element. Samelogic starts when you record; it cannot recover earlier browsing or replace production monitoring. | Investigate captured user sessions. Replay activity alongside network requests, console output, errors, and performance information. Documentation |
| Element inspection | Keep the target with the report. Pause the replay, select an element, and review its selectors, attributes, and styles. Add a note at that moment. | Explore interactions with an element. Use its Inspect Tool to find related sessions or create metrics from IDs, text, and selectors. Its docs list this tool on Pro. Documentation |
| Engineering handoff | Share the reproduction and its context. Link a recording, create a Jira Cloud or Linear issue, or export a Playwright test draft for an engineer to review and run. | Share the captured session. Send a session or cropped clip, including through configured integrations such as Jira and GitHub. Documentation |
| Coding-agent access | Give an agent the recorded evidence. Read-only MCP tools expose authorized recordings and element context. Review and verify any fix or test the agent proposes. | Query sessions, issues, and metrics. Its MCP server connects tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to your LogRocket data. Documentation |
| Privacy & capture | Review what you recorded. Input values are masked by default. Other page content can appear, so review the recording and its access before sharing. | Configure what the SDK collects. Set rules to exclude DOM content and sanitize network data and application state. Documentation |

02 / THE SAMELOGIC HANDOFFOne bug.
One bug.
A story they can follow.
The report says the quote is wrong. The recording shows the extra click that left it behind.
- The sequence. Replay the actions leading to the mismatch.
- The element. Keep the affected button with its captured context.
- The explanation. Attach what you expected to the moment you saw.

03 / ALREADY USING LOGROCKET?Keep the session.
Keep the session.
Add a reproduction.
A captured user session can explain where to investigate. A recording you make while reproducing the issue gives your teammate another concrete path to follow.
- 01 Investigate the captured session in LogRocket.
- 02 Record a repeatable path with Samelogic.
- 03 Add both links to the issue your team uses.
A manual handoff. Set access for each link; no native LogRocket integration is implied.

LogRocket pricingA FEW USEFUL ANSWERSBefore you
Before you
choose a workflow.
Can Samelogic replace LogRocket?
Choose Samelogic when you need to record a bug you can reproduce, inspect the affected element, and share that context. If you need production session coverage, funnels, or performance analysis across users, evaluate LogRocket for that work. Samelogic does not replace a production observability or product analytics platform.
Do I need to add code to try Samelogic?
No application SDK is needed. Install the extension in desktop Chrome, start recording, and repeat the issue on a supported page. You can try local recording and replay before signing up. Saving and sharing through a workspace needs an account, and plan limits apply.
Does LogRocket let me inspect elements or use AI tools?
Yes. LogRocket documents an Inspect Tool that uses IDs, text, and selectors to explore element interactions. It also offers an MCP server for querying sessions, issues, and metrics from compatible coding tools. The comparison is about the workflow and evidence you need, rather than exclusive access to inspection or AI.
Can a recording become a finished Playwright test?
Samelogic can export recorded actions as a Playwright test draft. An engineer still needs to review the locators, setup, and assertions, then run the test. Exporting a draft does not prove the bug is fixed.
Can I use both tools on the same issue?
Yes. Investigate a captured user session in LogRocket, then use Samelogic to record a reproduction you can repeat. Add both links to the issue your team uses, with appropriate access for the recipient. This is a manual workflow; a native Samelogic–LogRocket integration is not included.
