EAS Observe vs Shakebug

EAS Observe is a production performance monitoring service for apps running on real devices and conditions. It records cold and warm launch times, time to first render, time to interactive, bundle load time, and EAS Update download time. Measurements can be compared across app versions and over-the-air updates to help identify regressions. Expo Router and React Navigation integrations add render and interactive timings for individual routes. Apps can send user-defined events with Observe.logEvent and analyze them with performance data. Results appear in the EAS dashboard or can be queried from the terminal with EAS CLI commands. EAS Observe supports Android, iOS, and tvOS, but requires Expo SDK 55 or later and an app linked to an EAS project. It is unavailable in Expo Go and needs a development or production build. JavaScript error and native crash reporting are preview features. Plans include Free at $0/month, Starter at $19/month plus additional usage, and Production at $199/month plus additional usage; Enterprise pricing is custom. Retention is 90 days.

Shakebug is a bug and crash reporting platform for mobile, cross-platform, and web applications. A user can report a bug by shaking a mobile device or clicking on the web, then attach annotated screenshots, recordings, logs, and device details. Shakebug captures crashes automatically and uses AI to group related crashes into issues with device, operating-system, and trend details. Session Journey places sessions, events, bug reports, and crash data on a timeline, including visitors who have not logged in. The platform also provides real-time product analytics, custom event tracking, device-level cohort retention, ratings and reviews, and NPS surveys. Listed integrations include Jira, Slack, Trello, ClickUp, Asana, Linear, GitHub, GitLab, Monday.com, and Wrike. It supports Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native, API, extensions, self-hosted deployments, and web. The Basic plan is free; paid plans start at $57 a month billed yearly.
