Datadog Mobile RUM review
A strong mobile RUM choice for Datadog teams that need deep session and crash visibility.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Datadog Mobile RUM gives teams visibility into the performance, stability, usage, and user experience of native and cross-platform mobile applications. It captures sessions, performance vitals, crashes, errors, interactions, geographic dimensions, device details, and release information across iOS and Android. Support also covers technologies including React Native, Flutter, and Roku. It is particularly suited to mobile teams already working with Datadog, because mobile journeys can be correlated with APM traces, logs, metrics, synthetic tests, network performance, and Mobile App Testing.
Pricing is paid and session-based, with no free plan. RUM Measure costs $0.15 per 1,000 sessions per month with annual billing or $0.22 with monthly billing. It collects every session, provides 30+ out-of-the-box performance metrics, offers 100% session coverage, and includes 15-month retention for out-of-the-box metrics on the annual plan. RUM Investigate costs $3 per 1,000 sessions with annual billing or $4.50 with monthly billing. It adds filtered session retention, error and crash prioritization, built-in Error Tracking, crash reporting, and retention for sessions, views, errors, resources, long tasks, and vitals. A 14-day free trial is available.
Session Replay is a separate add-on, priced at $2.50 per 1,000 sessions with annual billing or $3.60 monthly. It provides visual replay for web and mobile, privacy masking by default, and DevTools for troubleshooting. The product’s strongest fit is a mobile operation that needs one place to connect user interactions and frustration signals with application and backend telemetry. Teams seeking a free RUM tool, a lower-cost standalone option, or primarily web-focused monitoring should look elsewhere. Datadog Mobile RUM is the better choice when mobile crashes, release analysis, performance breakdowns, and Datadog correlation matter more than a broad web-first scope.
