Reviewer scorecard
“Best open-source LLM observability. Traces, prompt versioning, and evals in one tool. Self-hosting option is a must.”
“The free tier is genuinely usable. Rare for this category.”
“Open source means no vendor lock-in. The tracing UI is clean and the integration with LangChain and Vercel AI SDK is seamless.”
“This is the kind of tool that makes you wonder how you worked without it.”
“LLM observability is becoming as essential as APM. Langfuse is the Grafana of AI — open source and community-driven.”
