Datadog RUM

`mask` is the default privacy level, and password, email, tel and card fields stay masked whatever you set.

~$2.50 per 1,000 replayed sessions#teams-already-running-da#logs#infrastructure

the strongest non-overridable masking floor in the category, wrapped in the hardest pricing to forecast.

datadog does the one thing almost nobody else does: it puts a floor under the configuration. if the privacy setting is not specified, `mask` — the strictest level — is applied. and regardless of what level you then choose, input elements of type password, email and tel, plus anything carrying an autocomplete attribute for card number, expiry or security code, are always masked. a developer who loosens the setting to debug something cannot accidentally expose a card field. that is a better safety model than 'we default to safe and trust you'.

eu residency is real and available to all paying customers — datadoghq.eu runs in frankfurt — though some replay sub-features have site-specific availability limits worth confirming for your region. the value proposition is the correlation: a replay sits next to the trace, the log line and the host metric, which no standalone replay tool can match.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

our verdict

the strongest non-overridable masking floor in the category, wrapped in the hardest pricing to forecast.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
