Helicone plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| Pro | $79/month | 3 | +$79/month, 3 more features |
| Team | $799/month | 3 | +$720/month, 3 more features |
| Enterprise | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

The full Helicone feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- Rate limits and alerts
People bring Helicone in for monitoring cost and latency of production llm applications, debugging multi-step agent sessions, managing and iterating on prompts across a team, routing requests across multiple llm providers. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Helicone are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in AI
Too few ai tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Helicone (this page) | Free, then $79/month | freemium | - | |
| Avathon | On request | quote | - | vs Helicone |
| C3 AI Suite | On request | quote | - | vs Helicone |
| Rev | Free | Per minute for human work, per seat per month for AI | - | vs Helicone |
| Veritone | On request | quote | - | vs Helicone |
| Verbit | $24/month | Per month by transcription hours | - | vs Helicone |
| LatchBio | On request | quote | - | vs Helicone |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Helicone badges page.
Before you pay for Helicone
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Helicone runs on web, api, and is published by Helicone, Inc.. The full record is on the Helicone review, and the rest of the category is under best ai tools.
