Langtrace is an open-source observability and evaluation platform for LLM applications, capturing traces, token usage, latency, and cost across popular models, frameworks, and vector databases. Because it emits standard OpenTelemetry spans, traces flow to any OTel-compatible backend, and instrumentation is a two-line SDK install in Python or TypeScript. It ships as a hosted cloud with a free tier plus a self-hostable / on-prem option for data-sensitive teams.
