Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Langfuse

  • Billing is metered per unit, where a unit is any trace, observation, or score sent to the platform; the free Hobby tier includes only 50,000 units per month before graduated per-unit charges apply, as of August 2026.

Speakeasy

  • No self-serve pricing is published; every plan requires a sales conversation.
  • The product pivoted away from its original SDK-generation offering, so past documentation and customers built on that use case are no longer the focus.
  • Requires integration with an existing identity provider such as Okta or Entra ID to be useful, so it is not a standalone solution.
  • No published free tier or trial pricing was found.
