Instabug → now
Instabug rebranded to Luciq in 2026 and removed all public pricing — you now book a demo to find out what it costs. Shakebug is a mobile-first bug and crash reporting SDK that publishes its prices ($0, $75, $125/mo), runs on one SDK across iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native and web, and adds session replay, crash AI grouping and product analytics in the same tool.
If you searched “Instabug alternative” and landed on luciq.ai, you read that right. Instabug rebranded to Luciq and repositioned as a “mobile observability platform.” The pricing page no longer lists a number — it shows two enterprise tiers, Enterprise and Enterprise Premier, both gated behind “Book a demo” and priced on daily active users plus seats. (Checked on luciq.ai/pricing, June 2026.)
For a solo developer or a small mobile team, that’s a problem before you write a line of integration code. You can’t compare plans, you can’t expense a known monthly cost, and you can’t start today without a sales call.
Shakebug takes the other approach: three plans, all on the pricing page, every limit printed right next to them.
Shakebug’s plans as published (shakebug.com/pricing, June 2026):
| Plan | Price | Projects | Members | MAU | Data retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $0 | 3 | 3 | 500 | 10 days |
| Standard | $75/mo | 6 | Unlimited | 20,000 | 90 days |
| Premium | $125/mo | Unlimited | Unlimited | 50,000 | 180 days |
The free plan needs no credit card.
We can’t print a Luciq comparison row, because Luciq doesn’t publish one. That’s the honest state of it: their number is whatever sales quotes you after a demo. If a fixed, known monthly cost matters to you, that gap is the comparison.
Instabug built its name on in-app bug reporting and APM. Shakebug covers the report and the context around it.
iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native and web (React, Next.js, any JS framework). Same integration, same dashboard.
A tester or user shakes the device, annotates the screen, and the report arrives with screenshot, screen recording, network and console logs, device model, OS and app version.
Crashes capture automatically and cluster duplicate stack traces into one issue with first-seen date, affected devices, OS versions and trend.
Each bug arrives with the timeline that led to it — sessions, events and actions, even for apps with no login. When the SDK identifies a user, their history ties together by name or email.
Sessions, MAU/DAU, stickiness, weekly cohort retention (W1/W4), custom events and in-app ratings sit next to your crash and bug trends.
Most bug tools make you run a separate analytics product to answer “did this crash hurt retention.” Shakebug puts both in one place.
No tool wins everywhere, and dev buyers spot a one-sided comparison instantly.
Enterprise compliance depth. Luciq lists SOC 2 Type II, SSO/SAML/SCIM, role-based access control, audit logs and regional data pinning. If you need that paperwork to pass a security review today, verify Shakebug’s current certifications with the team before you commit.
APM maturity. Luciq has spent years on mobile application performance monitoring. If deep performance tracing is your primary need rather than bug and crash reporting, weigh that directly.
Brand familiarity. Instabug is a known name to a lot of mobile teams, and Luciq is betting that recognition carries over.
If your decision is “I need a known enterprise observability platform with full compliance,” Luciq may fit better. If it’s “I need a mobile team to report reproducible bugs and watch crashes and retention without an enterprise contract,” that’s where Shakebug is built to win.
Yes. Instabug rebranded to Luciq in 2026 and repositioned as a mobile observability platform. The product at luciq.ai is the continuation of Instabug.
Luciq no longer publishes prices. The pricing page lists two enterprise tiers, Enterprise and Enterprise Premier, both requiring a demo booking, priced on daily active users and seats. (Checked June 2026.)
