What makes us different?

Highlight.io is open source and transparent
Highlight.io is built with transparency at its core, with a permissive license. Not only do we work in the open, but we also expose what we're working on, on our roadmap. The fact that Highlight.io is open source also makes it easy to integrate and build your own tools on-top of it, an advantage closed-source products like Fullstory can't offer.
Highlight.io constantly ships new features
At Highlight.io, we ship quickly. We update our changelog with a recap of new features biweekly, and we share when these features are completed in our public roadmap. Plus, our community keeps pushing us to do more, so we're constantly adding new integrations. We work hard to keep Highlight.io ahead of the curve, and we're not afraid to show off our secret sauce.
Experience Insights vs Errors & Regressions
Fullstory is designed to provide insights into both product and customer experience, with features such as session replay, heatmaps, and conversion funnels. This makes it an ideal tool for product and customer experience teams looking to understand how users interact with their website or application. In contrast, Highlight is primarily geared towards developers, with features such as error tracking, log search, and code-level visibility.
We focus on cohesion, not just session replay
While Fullstory is mainly focused on session replay, Highlight.io provides a full-stack solution that encompasses session replay, logs, and error monitoring. Developers using highlight.io get a comprehensive view of their entire stack with recorded logs and errors. In contrast, Fullstory primarily focuses on experience insight and funnels, which can be more useful to product and marketing teams.
Pricing
Fullstory does not provide a free trial. Instead, they offer custom pricing plans tailored to the specific needs of each organization, and users are encouraged to connect with their sales team. At Highlight.io, we are fundamentally against requiring a sales person to block you from using our product. Users can start for free and get their first 500 sessions and 1,000 errors per month for free. The tool also provides unlimited seats for all plans, including the free plan.
