Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Galileo
- The free plan is limited to 5,000 traces per month, which is quickly outgrown by production workloads.
- Real-time guardrails and unlimited trace capacity are reserved for the custom-priced Enterprise tier.
- Pro plan pricing scales with trace volume, so costs can grow unpredictably as usage increases.
- On-premises deployment requires an Enterprise contract rather than being available self-serve.
