Observability

Tracing, monitoring and evals for LLM apps and agents.

Langfuse

Open source agent evals and observability: trace, evaluate and improve LLM applications.

Pricing: Cloud: Hobby free (50k units/mo, 30 days data, 2 users); Core $29/mo; Pro $199/mo; Enterprise $2,499/mo. Extra usage from $8 per 100k units. Self-hosting is free. Source: langfuse.com/pricing

Engineering note: Billing counts traces, observations and scores as units, so a chatty multi-step agent consumes units fast. Supports Python/JS SDKs and OpenTelemetry. Includes prompt management and datasets.
