Cypress also blocked deploysentinel.com which introduced Session Replay for Cypress and Playwright tests last fall.

If Cypress users want to view a dashboard or session replay of their failed or flaky tests, they'll need to pay for Cypress Cloud which can easily be 6 figures.

I'm hopeful that after the dust settles, Cypress will clarify their stance on the ecosystem. It's clear that Playwright has the momentum, but Cypress can still be successful if they are able to innovate alongside their community and rationalize their pricing.


What abiguity is there here to clarify? They're pretty explicit in what their stance is.


I was curious how the game was built so I recorded this replay. Fun to see how it's using Supabase for the global state.

Unfortunately we don't support python yet, but if you ever encounter a similar heisenbug in JS, you can try recording it with Replay.io


Congrats on launching! Using Session Replay in the CI space makes a lot of sense. And agreed that there’s a lot that can be done by hooking into Cypress’s events. By the way, we’re doing the same and hope to show a Cypress reporter soon as well.

Re pricing: we’re still refining the pricing, but we assume that most of the time you’ll only want to debug the failing tests and while the recordings are fairly small, the larger piece is actually replaying the browser as it ran before so you can add print statements in your application and play to when a network request was returned or an error was thrown.


Thanks Jason, can't wait to see what your team's been working on the Cypress end soon then!


Suggested this to Greg a couple of months ago! We sometimes use Pernosco to record the Replay Chromium and Firefox. Would love to see how Undo does in comparison.

Likewise, if you're building more web apps, we'd love to hear how Replay.io works for you. We're on a shared journey to bring TTD to the world.


Hi there - I actually suggested it to Greg recently too! Would definitely be interesting to do this as we've got the same goals in mind.

I also like the technical blog posts, etc you guys produce.



Absolutely. It's really nice to be able to simple record the replay and then share the replay with others. Because replays are just websites, anyone can view them in any browser.


haha i didnt know about the advertising annecdote, but yeah we get a lot of references to Chronon from those that remember :)

We knew early on that a cool debugger wasn't going to cut it. Replay had to be super easy to adopt, fast, secure, and stable. That's our goal!


Apologies for that. That was what was easiest. How would you like to sign up?


I prefer email. Why do I need to sign up anyway?


Not with a 3rd-party provider.
