Read the Laminar pageLaminar vs Langfuse
Our take
Pick Laminar if you're on a agent team who will stay on Free at $0 while they open a first transcript, then Starter at $30/month when they need more storage or Signals credit. Pick Langfuse if you're on a team shipping LLM apps who need traces and a cost tile, not another chat UI. Skip Langfuse if you're people who only want a gateway (LiteLLM) or a framework (LangChain) without an observability SKU.
