Fullstory React Native: Setup, Pricing & Alternative (2026)

What does Fullstory capture in a React Native app?

Fullstory's React Native plugin gives your React Native code access to the Fullstory for Mobile Apps SDK, which records sessions on iOS and Android. Fullstory then shows those sessions as replays and analytics, next to the web sessions you capture.

Fullstory is a digital experience analytics platform for websites and mobile apps. Its core tools are session replay, heatmaps and analytics on how users behave.

Key features

• Session replay: Record and replay sessions to see how users interact with your app.

• Screen tracking: Track screen transitions and user interactions in the app.

• Event capture: Capture events such as taps, swipes and form submissions.

• Privacy controls: Use attributes like fsClass, fsTagName and fsAttribute to control what Fullstory records.

• Navigation tracking: Follow navigation events from libraries such as React Navigation.

• Network capture: Record network requests and responses alongside each session.

How much does Fullstory cost?

Fullstory doesn't publish prices for its Business, Advanced and Enterprise plans, so you request a quote and a demo.

Mobile capture, which a React Native app needs, is sold as a separate Mobile add-on. Fullstory also has a free plan, FullstoryFree, with 30,000 sessions a month, 12 months of data retention and up to 10 users. See Fullstory's plans page for current options.

Fullstory pros and cons for React Native

Fullstory's strength is detailed replay across web and mobile. For React Native teams, the main trade-off is cost visibility.

Pros

• Intuitive interface

• Detailed session replays

• Strong customer support

Cons

• Paid plans and the Mobile add-on are priced on request.

• Mobile capture costs extra on top of a paid plan.

What's the best Fullstory alternative for React Native?

UXCam is a strong alternative if you want mobile analytics that isn't sold as an add-on. It has its own React Native SDK and records sessions on iOS and Android, with heatmaps, retention analytics and crash analytics in the same tool.

That gives developers a realistic picture of how people use the app. You can go down to a single session to see where something went wrong and how to fix it.

Key features

• React Native SDK: react-native-ux-cam wraps UXCam's native iOS and Android SDKs and supports the New Architecture.

• Issue analytics: Native crashes, ANRs and UI freezes, each linked to the session replay.

• Session replay: Watch real sessions with every gesture and screen on a timeline.

• Heatmaps: See taps, swipes and scrolls on each screen, so you can spot hotspots and dead areas.

• Event tracking: Log custom events and user properties alongside the autocaptured gestures.

• User identification: Attach your own user IDs to sessions to follow one user's experience.

• Offline sessions: Sessions recorded without a connection upload once the device is back online.

• Works with React Navigation: Tag each screen with one call inside useFocusEffect, or from a single NavigationContainer state-change handler.

• Privacy controls: Password and card fields are masked automatically. You can mask other views or whole screens.

How much does UXCam cost?

UXCam's pricing is based on your monthly sessions. Every account starts with a free trial that includes 100,000 sessions and full feature access.

After the trial, you get a custom quote based on your actual usage. See the plans page for details.

UXCam pros and cons for React Native

UXCam is strongest at showing mobile behavior screen by screen. Its trade-offs are quote-based pricing and a small amount of setup.

Pros

• Free trial with 100,000 sessions

• Detailed session replays and heatmaps

• Analytics you can shape with custom events and properties

Cons

• No public price list: you get a custom quote after the trial.

• In React Native, you tag each screen yourself.

Who uses UXCam?

UXCam is installed in more than 37,000 products. Our case studies show how teams use it to find and fix problems in their apps.

One example is PlaceMakers. The team used UXCam to find a hidden flaw in a new feature and tested a redesign within three days. After that release, its sales doubled.

Fullstory vs UXCam for React Native at a glance

Both tools record sessions and build heatmaps. The main differences are how they price mobile capture and which platforms their SDKs cover.

Should you use Fullstory or UXCam for React Native?

Use Fullstory if you already use it on the web and want mobile sessions in the same place. Plan for the Mobile add-on, and expect to request a quote.

Use UXCam if mobile is where your product lives and you want session replay, heatmaps and crash context for React Native in one tool. The free trial lets you test it on your own app first.
