1. ActivationPal

Best for: React Native and Expo teams measuring onboarding, paywall, and subscription conversion.

ActivationPal's React Native package runs on iOS and Android in development and release builds. Expo Go cannot load its native module. The SDK records first open and sessions, supports onboarding and paywall events, buffers events on-device, and can join RevenueCat or Superwall subscription data. See the React Native and Expo setup or React Native analytics.

2. Amplitude

Best for: Teams using Amplitude's product analytics with a React Native app.

Amplitude's official React Native SDK sends app events to Amplitude. It supports Expo builds, but the compatibility notes exclude Expo Go. Amplitude's pricing page lists a free plan with 2 million events per month. Read the React Native SDK documentation.

3. PostHog

Best for: Teams that want product analytics alongside other PostHog products.

PostHog provides an official React Native SDK. Its documentation lists Expo-supported packages that work without other native dependencies. PostHog's pricing page lists a monthly free allowance, including up to one million analytics events. Read the React Native SDK guide.

4. Mixpanel

Best for: Teams sending React Native events to Mixpanel's analytics platform.

Mixpanel's React Native tracking library wraps its native iOS and Android SDKs and supports offline tracking. Mixpanel lists a free plan with up to one million events per month. View the React Native library.

5. UXCam

Best for: Teams evaluating session replay and in-app experience analytics.

UXCam documents a React Native SDK for React Native 0.68 and later, or Expo SDK 47 and later. Its Expo native modules require EAS Build. The SDK documentation describes session replay, heatmaps, and user journeys. Read the React Native setup.

6. Countly

Best for: Teams looking for a React Native bridge backed by native analytics SDKs.

Countly's React Native bridge uses its native iOS and Android SDKs. The bridge documentation lists React Native 0.60 and later, and Android API 21 as the minimum supported version. Read the React Native bridge documentation.

7. Vexo

Best for: Expo teams that can use a development build.

Vexo publishes an official React Native analytics SDK and documents its Expo integration for development builds. Read the integration guide.

8. RudderStack

Best for: Teams routing React Native event data to configured destinations.

RudderStack's SDK catalogue includes React Native as a mobile SDK for sending event data to destinations. View the SDK catalogue.

For Expo apps that should avoid adding native modules, start by reviewing PostHog's documented package options. If session replay and heatmaps matter more, compare UXCam's documented features and EAS Build requirement; for event routing, review RudderStack's destination setup.
