Looking for Luciq alternatives?
Luciq (formerly Instabug) originally started with bug reporting but later expanded to become a full mobile observability platform.
Measure is a mobile first, open source Luciq alternative.
Full session context on every issue
Measure and Luciq both record full session replays and attach logs, network calls, device details and repro steps to the issues you debug, so both give you far more than a stack trace.
Measure captures gestures, navigation, network calls, lifecycle events and custom spans into a full Session Timeline on every issue.
The difference is transparency. With Measure, you can audit what happens to those collected sessions since our entire platform is open source. From the SDK to the backend processing and the storage layer, you can see what Measure does with your data and verify it yourself. No need for blind trust, just read the source.
Adaptive capture, on your terms
Measure captures full session context by default, and with Adaptive Capture you tune what you collect remotely, without shipping an app update.
Luciq does not give you the same remote control to widen capture while you chase a tricky bug and then pull it back to keep cost and noise down.
Turn detail up on a risky release, down afterwards, and change it whenever you need to. With Measure, you always stay in control.
Fully open source
Luciq is proprietary. Its SDK is published on GitHub, but under a license that forbids modifying it (use as is, all rights reserved), and the backend and dashboard are a closed SaaS you can neither run nor inspect.
Measure is fully open source. Read it, run it, self-host it, audit the pipeline end to end, and if something can be done better, send a pull request.
Simple, predictable pricing
Luciq charges per daily active user and per seat, and its public pricing routes you to a sales call rather than a number, so what you actually pay comes down to a negotiation.
Measure has a single, transparent price based on how much data you use. No per-seat fees, no per-user charges, no quote required. With Adaptive Capture you can tune collection to keep costs in check.
Built for mobile, by mobile devs
Luciq, like Measure, is mobile-only, so both are shaped around mobile rather than treating it as one platform among many. The difference is how they are built and run.
Measure is open source and built in the open, with a public roadmap and issue tracker, made for mobile developers to read, self-host and extend. Crashes & ANRs, App Health, Performance Traces, Network Performance, Bug Reports and User Journeys are all shaped only by how mobile apps break in production.
Measure is built with the community with constant feedback which we strongly believe leads to a better platform.
