    Langfuse

    Open-source LLM observability. Self-hostable, OpenTelemetry-native.

    Tracing, evals, prompt management, and dataset tooling for LLM apps — self-host on your own infra or use Langfuse Cloud. The open-source default when you want full ownership of your observability stack.

    LangChain

    LangChain's hosted observability + eval platform.

    Tracing, dataset management, eval orchestration, and prompt playground from the LangChain team. Pairs naturally if LangChain or LangGraph already runs in your stack, but works standalone via SDKs.
