Our take
Pick Langfuse if teams shipping LLM apps who need traces and a cost tile, not another chat UI. Pick PromptLayer if aI teams who will pay Pro or Team so more than 10 playground runs a day and 2.5k requests sit on a shared registry. Skip Langfuse if people who only want a gateway (LiteLLM) or a framework (LangChain) without an observability SKU.
