Best session replay tools for AI coding agents (2026)

1. UserProof

Ranked 1 on criterion 2: a Claude Code plugin whose output is one change tied to a goal, with the file and line and a check afterward, on flat plans at $29 and $99 a month. It is not the cheapest first step here (Sentry Team lists $26 a month and Mouseflow Essential 25 a month, currency unconfirmed). It ranks lower on retention (7 days on Free) and has the shortest track record here.

Best for: You want the agent handed one fix, with the file and line.

We publish this page, so read this section against our pricing page. UserProof (getuserproof.com) is not UseProof or Proof (useproof.com), a different company with different prices. UserProof is a Claude Code plugin plus a small JavaScript snippet. It records what real visitors do and finds dead clicks, rage clicks, errors on click and slow responses. It gives Claude Code the one change most likely to raise your conversion goal, with the file and line, then checks afterward whether the fix worked. The counts come from recorded events, never from an LLM, and typed text is never recorded.

Pick it if you build in Claude Code, have a single goal such as signups or bookings, and want one next step instead of a dashboard. Before any traffic arrives, it can scan your live site for broken elements and name the file and line.

Free is 3 sites and 5,000 recorded visits a month with recordings kept 7 days. Pro is $29 a month for unlimited sites and 50,000 visits with 90-day retention; Scale is $99 a month for 250,000 visits. Past a plan’s visits, UserProof keeps recording 1 in 4 visits until the month resets.

Where it is the wrong pick: It works with Claude Code only today; Codex and Cursor are not supported yet. It does not do heatmaps or surveys. It launched in October 2026 and has no track record next to Clarity, PostHog or FullStory. If you want a replay library for analysts to browse, pick one of the others.

2. Harvv

Ranked 2: the same plugin-and-MCP approach as UserProof with a wider scope, but it counts events, and we found no statement about a session replay viewer.

Best for: You want the agent handed one fix, with the file and line.

Pick it if you want a Claude Code plugin that also covers traffic, Core Web Vitals and SEO findings. Harvv is the closest tool to UserProof in this list, and it is wider. Its site describes a hosted MCP server with 46 tools covering findings, traffic, conversions, Core Web Vitals and SEO. It also lists a Claude Code plugin and connectors for Slack, Claude and ChatGPT.

Its pricing page counts events and credits rather than recordings. Free is 50K events a month across 3 sites. Founder is $19 a month for 250K events across 3 sites, with extra events at $4 per 100K if you turn them on. Because it does not state a recording allowance, you cannot compare it with the others here on recordings per month. Its site says raw events are kept about 30 days and a compressed archive 13 months by default.

Where it is the wrong pick: We could not find a statement on its pages about whether it has a session replay viewer, so if watching sessions is the requirement, check before you pick it. If you want a narrow tool focused on one conversion goal and a check after the fix, UserProof is built around that.

3. PostHog

Ranked 3: a documented MCP server with replay search and 5,000 free recordings a month, but it returns data and, through its Inbox product, pull requests priced per PR, not a single goal-tied fix with a check afterward.

Best for: You already use product analytics and want the agent to read it.

Pick it if you want replay inside a product analytics suite with feature flags, experiments and error tracking, billed on usage. The first 5,000 recordings a month are free. After that PostHog bills $0.005 per recording from 5,001 to 15,000 and $0.0035 per recording from 15,001 to 50,000, with no monthly minimum stated.

By our arithmetic from those published tiers, 50,000 recordings in a month comes to $172.50 (10,000 at $0.005 plus 35,000 at $0.0035, with the first 5,000 free). A “recording” on PostHog and a “recorded visit” on UserProof are close but not identical units, so treat that as a rough comparison, not a quote.

PostHog documents a hosted MCP server that works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and VS Code, and a separate docs page covers searching replays and managing playlists over MCP. Retention is set per plan: up to 30 days on Free and up to 90 on pay as you go, according to its replay retention page.

Where it is the wrong pick: The product is broad, so the setup has more to configure than a single-purpose tool. Its Inbox opens pull requests from grouped signals, billed per PR, but the pricing page does not say it ties one fix to a single conversion goal or checks afterward whether the goal moved. If you already run PostHog, try Inbox before adding another tool.

4. LogRocket

Ranked 4: a hosted MCP server for Cursor, Claude Code and Codex, but no ongoing free plan and a first paid step of $176 a month.

Best for: You debug errors with the session attached.

Pick it if the job is finding why something broke for a user and handing your agent the session that shows it. LogRocket publishes a hosted MCP server for Cursor, Claude Code and Codex. Its docs list tools to find sessions, watch sessions, read network entries, find issues and ask its Galileo AI, with OAuth or a project API key for access, and they say the tools are under active development and may change.

The pricing page says “Starting at $176/month” on an annual plan, covering session replay, product analytics and error monitoring, and does not tie that figure to a plan name or session count. It lists no ongoing free plan, only a free trial with no card. Self-hosting is listed under Enterprise with no price.

Where it is the wrong pick: The entry price is the highest of the self-serve tools here, and the page does not show what the entry price includes. A solo founder with a few thousand visitors will not use most of it.

5. Amplitude

Ranked 5: an MCP server with a Claude Code setup guide, but its page does not say replay data is available through it.

Best for: You already use product analytics and want the agent to read it.

Pick it if your team already measures with events and cohorts and wants replay next to them. Amplitude’s pricing page lists Session Replay at 10,000 monthly sessions on Free and Plus and 20,000 on Growth, with an add-on for more. Plus is shown as “Starts at $0” and bills on events; the page gives no dollar price beyond that.

Amplitude publishes an MCP server with setup steps for Claude Code. The page says it queries charts, dashboards, experiments and cohorts. It does not say that session replay data is available through it, so confirm that before you plan around it.

Replay retention is 1 month on every plan. Amplitude’s own docs say replay shows individual user experiences and point to Analytics or Heatmaps for aggregate behavior.

Where it is the wrong pick: Replay is one feature of a large analytics product, so a solo founder pays attention to events and plans they may not need. Retention is short.

6. Microsoft Clarity

Ranked 6: the best free tier here (no cap stated) and an MCP server, but it gives your agent sessions to read, not a change to make.

Best for: Free, and you only need to watch sessions.

Pick it if you want to watch sessions and look at heatmaps and do not want a bill. Clarity’s FAQ says it is “100% free - forever” and that you are “never asked to upgrade to a paid version”. The home page says there are no traffic limits.

For an agent, Microsoft publishes an open-source MCP server. Its README says it gives MCP-compatible clients access to your session recordings, project analytics and documentation, and it needs Node.js and a Clarity API token. We did not test how much of a session an agent can read through it.

Recordings are kept 30 days, except favorites and a random sample, which are kept up to 9 months (FAQ, last updated October 16, 2026).

Where it is the wrong pick: It has no paid tier, so there is nobody to call when something breaks, and nothing in its documentation says it picks one change for your agent to make. You read the sessions and decide.

7. Sentry

Ranked 7: an MCP server and replay attached to errors, but a small replay allowance (50 on the Developer plan).

Best for: You debug errors with the session attached.

Pick it if you already run Sentry for errors and want a replay attached to an issue. Session Replay sits inside Sentry’s plans: the plan table shows 50 replays on Developer and Team, and a banner offers new users 5,000 free replays a month for their first 3 months. Team is shown from $26 a month when billed annually.

Sentry publishes a hosted MCP server for error search, performance analysis and issue triage. The page we read does not mention replays, so we cannot say whether an agent can read them through it.

Where it is the wrong pick: It is an error monitor first. If your problem is visitors who do not convert and nothing is throwing an error, replay allowances of 50 will not tell you much.

8. FullStory

Ranked 8: a generous free plan (30,000 sessions) and a beta MCP server, but paid pricing is quote only.

Best for: You are an enterprise team with a budget.

Pick it if you have a team, a budget and a need for a mature digital experience platform. FullStory’s pricing page lists a free plan with 30,000 sessions a month and 12 months of data retention. Its paid plans send you to “Request pricing & demo”, so there is no public price to put in a table.

FullStory publishes an MCP server, marked beta, that connects an AI assistant to its product data, and it requires MCP to be enabled for the organization.

Where it is the wrong pick: Paid pricing is not published, which makes it hard to plan a budget before a sales call.

9. OpenReplay

Ranked 9: the only self-hostable option, but the hosted plan starts at $199 a month and the MCP app targets chat hosts.

Best for: You need to self-host.

Pick it if recordings have to stay on your own infrastructure. OpenReplay’s pricing page says the open-source edition is free if you host it on your own infrastructure, and it gives no session or feature limits. The managed Dedicated plan starts from $199 a month, billed hourly at $0.276 an hour. A serverless option is described as usage-based, with no price shown.

Its docs describe an MCP app for querying session replays, charts, funnels and user journeys from an AI chat host such as Claude Desktop. Check its docs for the agent you use.

Where it is the wrong pick: Self-hosting means you run it. The cheapest hosted option on the page is $199 a month, which is a lot for a small site.

10. Contentsquare (Hotjar)

Ranked 10: heatmaps and surveys on every plan and an MCP allowance on Free, but built for marketing and UX teams, with replay capped at 5% of sessions on Free.

Best for: You want heatmaps and surveys, and a marketing team to use them.

Pick it if you want the Hotjar combination of heatmaps, recordings and surveys. Contentsquare’s Hotjar page says: “It’s no longer possible to create a new account on Hotjar. New users can sign up for free on Contentsquare.” So a new buyer is choosing a Contentsquare plan.

The Free plan is shown as 200k monthly sessions at $0 forever, with replays, heatmaps and funnels. Its plan table is more specific about replays: monthly session replay capture on Free is 5% of sessions with a maximum of 10k, and session replay access is 1 month. Growth is shown from $39 a month (the page also shows $49 struck through) and captures 15% of sessions, with replay access of 2 months.

The Hotjar page lists “Connect your favorite AI assistant (MCP)” among the free-plan features. We did not read the MCP docs.

Where it is the wrong pick: Replay on the free plan is a 5% sample, so a small site may see too few sessions to find a pattern. The product is aimed at marketing and UX teams, and nothing on the pages we read says it chooses one change for an agent.

11. Mouseflow

Ranked 11: a 500-session free plan and an announced MCP server whose plan requirements we could not confirm.

Best for: You want heatmaps and surveys, and a marketing team to use them.

Pick it if you want recordings plus heatmaps, funnels and form analytics from a single vendor and your traffic is small. Mouseflow’s pricing page lists a Free Forever plan at 500 sessions a month, Essential at 25 a month with 5,000 sessions, Advanced at 109 and Premium at 319. The page text we read did not show a currency symbol, so check it on the page before you budget.

Retention is 1 month on Free and 3 months on Essential. Mouseflow has a page for an MCP server. We could not match its plan requirements to the current plan names, so confirm that you can use it on the plan you buy.

Where it is the wrong pick: The free plan holds 500 sessions a month, which a site with any traffic will pass in days. Agent access may need a higher plan.

12. Lucky Orange

Ranked 12: no free plan and no agent access found on the pages we read.

Best for: You want heatmaps and surveys, and a marketing team to use them.

Pick it if you want a paid, session-based behavior tool with recordings on every plan and plans sized by monthly sessions. The pricing page shows Build at $32 a month billed annually for up to 3,500 sessions, Grow at $72 for 10,000, Expand at $199 starting at 50,000 sessions and Scale at $839 starting at 300,000. There is a 7-day free trial and no permanent free plan. Extra websites are $5 each.

Retention starts at 60 days, with 90, 180 or 365 days available. We looked for an MCP server or agent integration on its pricing page and help-center home and found none. That is absence of evidence, so check its docs.

Where it is the wrong pick: No free plan, and nothing we found connects it to a coding agent.
