Real User Monitoring with Session Replay feature overview

This page describes how the Real User Monitoring with Session Replay DPS capability is consumed and billed. For an overview of the capability, including its main features, see Real User Monitoring with Session Replay.

How consumption is calculated: sessions per application per hour

When Session Replay is activated for a given RUM session, the unit of measure is one session per application (web and mobile) per hour with Session Replay activated (also referred to as "Session Replay Capture" in your rate card).

Depending on the session, you are billed for a RUM session or a RUM session with Session Replay, but not both. If a session is longer than one hour, the session is counted multiple times (once per hour).
