What are Gleap and Jam built for?

Gleap

Gleap

Gleap sells itself as an AI support platform rather than a bug tracker: an agent called Kai resolves support conversations from the entry plan, and in-app bug reporting is one of the channels feeding it. The capture underneath is complete from Starter, session replay of the 60 seconds before the report, console logs, network requests and device data, and it reaches iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter and Ionic as well as the web. Starter carries one seat and one project, and third-party integrations begin at Team.

Jam

Jam

Jam is a capture tool for the people building the software: a Chrome extension and an iOS app that turn what just happened into a shareable object carrying console logs, network requests, user events and device data. Its free plan carries 30 Jams a month with console and network included, viewers are unlimited and free, and its MCP server writes comments, folders and Recording Links as well as reading a capture. There is no widget to embed, and its documentation states the recorder interface cannot currently be customised.

Every claim about Gleap and Jam comes from each vendor's own public materials, read on 13 September 2026. Products change; check each vendor's site before deciding. Pending cells are unresearched, not zero.

When should you choose Gleap, and when Jam?

Gleap

Choose Gleap when

  • The people reporting are your customers, inside your product. Gleap puts the button in the app; Jam has no widget to embed, so a customer has nothing on the page to click.
  • The product is a native mobile app. Gleap ships SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter and Ionic; Jam's iOS app is a recorder, and its reporting runs through an extension or a shared link rather than through anything embedded.
  • You want the same vendor to answer the customer as well as file the bug. Gleap's Kai agent handles support conversations from Starter; Jam's product is the capture and the handoff to a coding agent.
  • The replay has to exist without anyone switching it on. Gleap records the 60 seconds before the report automatically; Jam's Instant Replay is opt-in and lives in the reporter's browser.
Jam

Choose Jam when

  • The bug is found by the team that shipped it. Jam installs in an engineer's browser in a minute, and its free plan already carries console, network and the integrations Gleap holds back to Team.
  • You want a free plan rather than a trial. Jam's free tier runs 30 Jams a month indefinitely; Gleap offers 14 days and then Starter at $49 a month billed annually for one seat.
  • The report is going to a coding agent. Jam's MCP server writes comments, folders and Recording Links, and Jam AI drafts the reproduction steps from the recording.
  • You need the tracker on the cheapest plan. Jam connects Jira, Linear, GitHub and GitLab on Free; Gleap's Starter has no third-party integrations at all.
Notarus

The third option

Where does Notarus fit?

Notarus is the widget half of Gleap without the support desk, and the free-plan half of Jam with a button on your own site. Session replay, console logs, network requests and the environment arrive with every report on the free plan, which carries unlimited seats and 5 projects, and the widget is themed from a theme document on every plan, with custom CSS on Pro. Every panel action is also an MCP tool, as a shipping rule rather than a connector.

It does not do the two things that make this pair interesting at the edges. There is no native mobile SDK, so an iOS or Android app is Gleap's territory, and there is no desktop or tab recording of the kind Jam makes from an extension. Feedback is taken on a live web page, and there is no Intercom or Zendesk integration and no agent answering customers.

Prices for all three plans are on the pricing page, with SAML included and nothing on request.

What do buyers ask about Gleap vs Jam?

Does Jam have a widget like Gleap?

No. Jam reaches a report through a Chrome extension, an iOS app or a Recording Link that has to be shared first, and its documentation states the recorder interface cannot currently be customised. Gleap is the one with a widget and mobile SDKs that live inside the product a customer is already using.

Which one has console and network logs on a free plan?

Jam. Its pricing table marks console and network logs on all three plans, the free one included, alongside 30 Jams a month. Gleap has no free plan; its capture is complete from Starter, at $59 a month or $49 billed annually, which carries one seat and one project.

How do Gleap's replay and Jam's Instant Replay differ?

Gleap's bug reporting page describes the replay as the 60 seconds before the report, captured automatically from its Starter plan. Jam's documentation describes Instant Replay as an opt-in rolling buffer of the last 2 minutes kept in the browser, so it exists only if the reporter enabled it beforehand.

Which one connects to Jira on the cheapest plan?

Jam, on its free plan, alongside Linear, GitHub, GitLab, Asana, ClickUp, Azure DevOps and Notion. Gleap's pricing table marks third-party integrations as not included on Starter and included from Team, at $179 a month or $149 billed annually.

Do viewers cost a seat on Jam or Gleap?

On Jam, no. Jam counts creators only: viewers are unlimited and free, its free plan carries 5 creator seats, and Team is $14 per creator a month billed yearly for up to 50 creator seats. Gleap counts seats from the start: Starter carries 1 seat, and seats become unlimited from Team at $179 a month or $149 billed annually. A team where many people read reports and few make them pays for fewer people on Jam.
