Langfuse free tier includes Open-source LLM engineering platform for tracing, evaluating and debugging AI applications… Verified September 2026. Compare with 7 alternatives in AI / ML.
Subtypes in AI / ML: llm_observability — records the prompts, responses, latency, cost and tool calls an application sent to a model, for reading afterwards; llm_evaluation — scores model or agent output against a dataset, a rubric or a judge model on runs you trigger. We read that on 2026-09-01 from https://langfuse.com/, where it says: “Evaluation LLM-as-a-judge, heuristic functions, or human review. Run evaluators on production data or during experiments.” How we use this.
Langfuse's free tier offers Open-source LLM engineering platform for tracing, evaluating and debugging AI applications… It's stable — the change we last considered recording was refused on 2026-09-13, and we read the page again on 2026-09-30 and confirmed the terms above. Best for ai / ml workloads — 7 alternatives available.
Open-source LLM engineering platform for tracing, evaluating and debugging AI applications. The Langfuse Cloud Hobby plan is free with no credit card: 50k units a month (each trace, observation and score counts as one unit), 30 days of data access, 2 users, community support via GitHub, and all platform features with limits. Core is $29/month with 100k units, then $8 per 100k units up to 1M units and less above that. The open-source self-hosted edition is free under the MIT license.
We read that on 2026-09-30 from https://langfuse.com/pricing, and our check recorded: the page names Langfuse as "langfuse" and states "$29" and "$8" and "$29.00" and "$8.00".
No recorded pricing changes for Langfuse. This is a good sign — stable pricing.
How Langfuse compares against every one of the 7 we list, not against a selection of them. A surface with room for every member of a tied set may rotate their order. A surface with room for only some of them names none of them, because which ones it named would be the claim, and a claim seeded on the date is not the one we serve tomorrow. How we decide this.
