Full stack visibility, not just frontend data

Multiplayer is laser-focused on shortening debugging workflows and resolving the technical issues that slow your team down.

  • LogRocket is primarily a product analytics tool focused on capturing frontend user behavior. Third-party integrations are available to pull sampled backend data per session, but, even then, critical information is still missing. When something breaks or you need to resolve a technical issue, teams must manually piece together the complete picture: hunting through observability tools, correlating timestamps across systems, and searching for user feedback and technical discussions.
  • Multiplayer is purpose-built for debugging workflows, focused on resolving technical issues and bugs through complete, correlated session context. Full-stack session recordings automatically connect everything (frontend screens, user actions, backend traces, logs, request/response content and headers, and user feedback) in a single, shared, annotatable timeline. No hunting, no manual correlation, no tool switching.

From day one, developers get all the context, support gets visibility, and end-users get an easy way to report bugs.

Full stack visibility, not just frontend data

Everything you need, for any support scenario, out of the box

Multiplayer adapts to every support workflow. No extra tools, no manual workarounds, no rigid setup. Whether you’re handling a question about “unexpected behavior” or a complex cross-service incident, Multiplayer gives you the full context to resolve it.

  • LogRocket is built for product analytics, not technical debugging and support. Recordings are primarily used by PM and UX teams to study behavior trends at scale, which is why the platform relies on always-on frontend capture with limited control over when, what, or how sessions are recorded. Support workflows often require additional configuration, multiple external tools, or features that LogRocket simply doesn’t support.
  • Multiplayer enables any support workflow, with any existing ticketing system (e.g. Zendesk, Intercom, Jira). Multiple full stack recording modes give you control without overhead. Multiple installation methods work however your team works. Your team can work across multiple use cases: from actively resolving technical support tickets to proactively identifying bugs so you can fix them before users even realize they are there.

With Multiplayer, a single tool powers many workflows out of the box.

Developer-friendly and AI-native

Multiplayer fits seamlessly into your existing workflows and tool stack.

  • LogRocket requires vendor lock-in to achieve full-stack visibility and it’s not optimized for AI-assisted debugging. Integrating with an APM tool requires additional setup, another vendor in your stack, and still leaves you without critical debugging data like request/response content and headers from deep within your system. This also means that their proprietary AI agent is working with partial context, resulting in incomplete suggestions that still leave you doing manual correlation work to fully debug an issue.
  • Multiplayer is full-stack, backend-agnostic by default. Full-stack session recordings are compatible with any observability platform and capture everything out of the box. Through its MCP server, Multiplayer provides AI tools with self-contained, complete session units: frontend screens, unsampled backend traces, full request/response payloads, logs, and team annotations all pre-correlated in one place. Any AI tool can access this complete context to generate accurate root cause analysis and fix suggestions without gaps or guessing.

With Multiplayer your AI assistant becomes genuinely useful because it sees the complete picture.

Why use Multiplayer?

Better data for AI agents (and humans)

Better data for AI agents (and humans)

Full-stack, auto-correlated, unsampled. Everything you need from frontend screens to backend traces and logs. We also include things your observability tools miss like request/response content and headers from all components in your system.
Plug & Play with your favorite coding agent

Plug & Play with your favorite coding agent

Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, … Route issues directly to any and all coding agents you already use and love. No tool switching or ramping up on a proprietary coding agent. Connect our debugging agent to prod and auto-fix bugs while your system is running.
Local first, more secure

Local first, more secure

Run Multiplayer right next to your coding agent. We cache sessions locally and send data only when we identify a new issue.Complete control over what you debug. Your code is safe: unlike other debugging agents we don’t need access to it.
Intelligent issue creation and deduplication

Intelligent issue creation and deduplication

No PR slop or review fatigue. We gather only the data you need and just enough of it. Issues are deduplicated so the same bug is only tracked once, no matter how many times it was reported. You never have to review or fix the same issue twice.

Getting started with Multiplayer
is easy.

One copy/paste in your terminal, and you’re done.
