The Verdict
Splunk is built for enterprise and security teams, with a focus on log-analysis and real-time-monitoring. Sprig targets product managers and ux researchers and leads with in-app-surveys and session-replay.
Both tools use custom enterprise pricing — you'll need to contact sales for a quote, which makes direct cost comparison difficult.
Sprig has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Splunk requires a paid subscription from day one.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
