LLM Observability

10 providers in this category.

LLM observability platforms trace, evaluate, and monitor applications built on language models: logging each request with cost and latency, running quality evals, versioning prompts, and sometimes routing traffic through a model gateway. Compare tracing depth, eval workflows, prompt management, gateway support, open-source and self-hosting options, and free tier. Pricing is often seat-plus-usage, so confirm rates.
