bitdrift

What is bitdrift?

bitdrift is a mobile observability platform for iOS and Android teams, built by engineers who came from Lyft. Its SDK captures on-device logs, crashes, and sessions without sampling, and remote workflows change what gets collected without an app release. bitdrift AI connects that data to coding agents such as Claude Code and Cursor.

Top Features:

• Agent access: coding agents query live device data through skills and an API.
• Session replay: rebuild a user session in 3D from real on-device execution data.
• Remote instrumentation: add logging to the whole fleet without an App Store release.

Use Cases:

• Crash triage: find root causes of crashes, ANRs, and out-of-memory errors faster.
• Agent debugging: let an AI coding agent investigate an issue and propose a fix.
• Funnel analysis: see where users drop off in key app journeys like checkout.

Who Can Use bitdrift?

• Mobile engineers: debug iOS and Android issues with full logs, not sampled data.
• SRE and on-call teams: get alerts in Slack or PagerDuty and track mobile SLOs.
• Product teams: study user journeys and funnels to spot friction in the app.

Pricing

• Free tier ($0): 5 users, 100000 crash reports, and 50000 monthly active apps.
• Free trial (14 days): test premium features before moving to the free tier.
• Enterprise (contact sales): unlimited users, session replay, SSO, custom retention, and 24/7 support.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• No sampling: every device can be captured, so rare bugs do not slip through.
• Predictable billing: pricing is based on active apps, with no overage fees.
• Agent friendly: skills work with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Copilot.

Cons:

• Hidden pricing: paid plan costs are not public, so budgeting needs a sales call.
• Mobile only: it focuses on iOS and Android apps rather than backend services.
• Free tier limits: session replay, spans, and SSO require the Enterprise plan.
