A product analytics platform that folds session replay, feature flags, experiments, and a data warehouse into one stack. Its LLM analytics suite tracks traces, token costs, latency, and model errors for AI products, with automatic clustering that groups traces by behavior. Usage-based pricing with a generous free tier on every product.
