Pick Langfuse if teams shipping LLM apps who need traces and a cost tile, not another chat UI. Pick LangWatch if agent teams who will pay a core seat and send events from production. Skip Langfuse if people who only want a gateway (LiteLLM) or a framework (LangChain) without an observability SKU. Skip LangWatch if teams that only want a $0 request proxy (Helicone).
