- Product analytics, including funnels and heatmaps.
- Error tracking for JavaScript exceptions, failed requests, crashes, stacks, and alerts.

What BugTape does
BugTape does not record every visit. It keeps a short buffer and sends it with a supported error or a user report. Repeats of the same failure become one issue. An authorized agent reads that issue over MCP after one sign-in. DOM replay is rebuilt from events. It is not a screen video. Hosted screenshots and voice notes are not stored. Fatal iOS crash capture is not available.

Use LogRocket when you want a recording and analytics for visits, including visits that did not fail. Use BugTape when you want the broken ones grouped, with evidence an agent can read. Use both when you already pay for session analytics and also want that agent loop.

Sources and a practical test
Read LogRocket’s session replay, error tracking, product analytics and pricing pages. These are vendor descriptions, not a hands-on certification.
In a test app with synthetic data, trigger the same failed request twice. Compare grouping, the captured request and stack, replay privacy, and what your coding agent can read. Then measure both SDKs with the same capture settings. Homepage speed scores do not measure SDK overhead. The PostHog comparison also explains the analytics-versus-failure-evidence choice.
