Vexo

Vexo is product analytics for React Native and web applications, aimed at teams that need automatic instrumentation alongside replay and interaction analysis. It is strongest for app teams using the supported JavaScript stacks who want a generous free allowance before committing to longer retention or higher event volumes.

Overview

Vexo captures app opens, screen views, taps, navigation, API calls, and errors automatically, then lets teams add custom events for business-specific measurements. That reduces the work of instrumenting routine behavior while preserving a way to measure conversion or feature actions that matter to a particular product.

Session replays show individual journeys for behavioral investigation and debugging. Tap heatmaps reveal interaction patterns, with comparisons across app versions to help identify changes in usage. Together, these tools connect aggregate product questions with the specific sessions behind them.

Installation uses the vexo-analytics package and a one-line initialization with an API key. Analytics data is stored on secure servers in the United States and encrypted in transit and at rest. Vexo says it does not sell user data; app owners can delete an app and its associated data and export analytics as CSV. The important limitation is that analytics data cannot currently be self-hosted.

Key features

• Automatic tracking: Routine lifecycle, navigation, network, interaction, and error events are captured without manual definitions, making initial instrumentation faster.
• Custom events: Teams can add business-specific events when built-in activity does not represent a key metric.
• Session replays: Watching sessions supplies context around errors and confusing flows rather than relying only on event counts.
• Tap heatmaps: Interaction concentrations can be reviewed and compared between app versions, useful when evaluating interface changes.
• Stack integrations: Vexo supports React Native CLI, Expo, React Navigation, Next.js, and Vue.js. Teams outside those stacks should confirm fit before adopting it.
• Operational controls: Advanced privacy controls, CSV export, deletion of app data, and 24/7 email support at [email protected] cover basic governance and assistance needs.

Pricing

Vexo uses a freemium model and offers a free trial. The Try it out plan costs nothing and includes up to 500K events per month, 1,000 session replays, session replays and heatmaps, and two seats. Sessions, replays, and events are retained for 60 days. This is a substantial pilot allowance for a small product team, but the 1,000-replay and two-seat ceilings can constrain a larger organization.

Premium has custom pricing. It includes up to 500K events, 1,000 session replays, then charges $3 per 1,000 additional replays, unlimited heatmaps, and two seats; extra seats cost $4.90 each. Paid plans retain sessions, replays, and events for 24 months, making Premium the practical choice when historical analysis matters more than the free plan's short window.

Enterprise also uses custom pricing and raises capacity to 1+ billion events. It includes 1,000 session replays with the same $3-per-1,000 overage, unlimited heatmaps, 10 seats, onboarding and customer success, and custom configuration. Additional seats cost $4.90 each. It is designed for high-volume products that need implementation help and contractual configuration rather than merely more seats.

When a subscription reaches its event limit, Vexo accepts a limited amount of extra events and sends email alerts. That provides a buffer, not unlimited collection, so teams should monitor usage before relying on event-heavy instrumentation.

Platforms

Vexo supports Android, iOS, and web applications. Its capture coverage is described as supporting both app and web environments, with error context included and advanced privacy controls.

Who it's for

Vexo fits React Native and web teams using React Native CLI, Expo, React Navigation, Next.js, or Vue.js that want automatic capture, replay-based debugging, and heatmaps in one service. The free plan suits early products and evaluations; Premium suits teams needing two-year retention; Enterprise is for very high event volumes or organizations requiring onboarding and custom configuration.

It is a poor fit for organizations that must keep analytics on their own infrastructure, or for teams whose stack falls outside the stated integrations. Replay-heavy teams should also account for the 1,000-session allowance before choosing a paid tier.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Automatic capture covers common product and error activity; replays, heatmaps, and custom events combine diagnosis with product measurement; the free plan allows 500K monthly events; paid retention extends to 24 months; CSV export and data deletion support control.
• Cons: Self-hosting is unavailable; free and Premium plans include only 1,000 session replays before overage pricing; Premium starts with two seats and charges $4.90 for each additional seat; paid prices are custom rather than published.

Alternatives

Choose Rejourney if self-hosting, macOS support, or 5,000 monthly replays with seven-day evidence retention is more important than Vexo's longer paid retention.

FullSession is a better fit when a web-focused free tier with 1,000 sessions per month and 30-day retention, or a published $49-per-month Growth tier for 10,000 sessions, matches your scale.

Pick Fullstory when its free allowance of 30,000 sessions, 10 user seats, and one-year replay and product-analytics retention is the priority.

OpenReplay suits teams that require an open-source, self-managed deployment on premises or any cloud provider.

Choose UXCam for a free allowance of 3,000 sessions per month and two app keys, with paid pricing based on actual usage.

Zipy is an option when a $25-per-month annual Growth plan, one month of retention, and up to 10 projects fit your budget and scope.

Zoho PageSense is preferable for web teams needing 5,000 tracked users per month, one project, and five goals on a forever-free tier.

Crazy Egg is the alternative when web analytics, instant heatmaps, conversion analytics, and surveys are the central requirement.

Verdict

Choose Vexo for a React Native or web product that wants automatic event capture plus replay and heatmap investigation, with a useful free starting allowance and much longer retention on paid plans. Look elsewhere if self-hosting is mandatory, if you need more than 1,000 replays without overage charges, or if published paid pricing is essential.
