## What the models said about PostHog

- "PostHog does offer data scrubbing features, but I was recently surprised to see their announcement about integrating AI to analyze session replays on behalf of users. This raises a red flag" (Muse Glimmer 30B, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "If you enable network capture, scrutinize it separately from replay masking: requests and responses can contain sensitive headers or bodies" (GPT-6 Luna, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "I'd generally recommend PostHog if you want the best balance of visitor behavior analytics, product analytics, and session replay in one place" (GPT-5.4 mini, paraphrase prompt, first choice)

## What the models said about LogRocket

- "avoid or exercise extreme caution with Hotjar, FullStory, Mouseflow, LogRocket, and Smartlook" (Mistral Small, negative prompt, hard negative)
- "early versions had PII exposure risks... litigation history warrants review" (Grok 4.1 Fast, negative prompt, hard negative)
- "reviews highlight that it only guarantees that passwords are never recorded. It does not automatically mask other sensitive information" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "The sweet spot is usually FullStory, Contentsquare, or LogRocket" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, scale prompt, first choice)
- "LogRocket — If engineering debugging is priority #1" (Kimi K2, scale prompt, first choice)
- "FullStory / LogRocket: Industry standard for engineers/devs, deeper technical logging (network/XHR), slightly steeper learning curve." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, scale prompt, alternative)
