Braintrust

Rank #1 · 26.7% visibility

Braintrust is an end-to-end AI observability and evaluation platform that connects production trace logging with structured evaluation workflows in a single developer-centric product. It captures every LLM call, tool invocation, and agent reasoning step as hierarchical spans; scores outputs using LLM-as-a-judge, heuristic, or human annotation; manages versioned prompts; and enables teams to build regression datasets directly from production failures. Its Loop AI agent automates prompt optimization and dataset generation based on trace data, while Brainstore—a purpose-built database for AI logs—powers high-speed full-text search and querying across millions of traces. Braintrust is framework-agnostic, supports 13+ native integrations, and offers enterprise security including SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA compliance, and hybrid deployment.

Langfuse

Rank #4 · 13.3% visibility

Langfuse is an open-source, MIT-licensed LLM engineering platform that provides end-to-end tooling for the full AI application development lifecycle: hierarchical trace-based observability, versioned prompt management with one-click deploys, multi-method evaluation (LLM-as-a-judge, human annotation, user feedback, custom pipelines), structured experiment comparison, and cost/latency/quality analytics dashboards. It is OpenTelemetry-native, integrates with 80+ frameworks and model providers, and can be deployed on Langfuse Cloud or self-hosted on Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, or Azure. Since its January 2026 acquisition by ClickHouse, Langfuse runs on a ClickHouse OLAP backend enabling millisecond-latency queries over billions of monthly observations.

BerriAI (LiteLLM)

Rank #7 · 5.3% visibility

LiteLLM (by BerriAI) is an open-source AI Gateway and Python SDK that standardizes access to 100+ LLM providers under a single OpenAI-format API. It can be used as an embedded Python library or deployed as a standalone FastAPI proxy server with virtual keys, spend tracking, guardrails, load balancing, observability integrations, and an admin dashboard — enabling platform teams to give developers governed LLM access at scale.

H

Helicone

Rank #8 · 5.3% visibility

Helicone is an open-source LLM observability platform and AI gateway that lets developers instrument their LLM applications with a single line of code. It captures all request and response data, provides dashboards for cost, latency, and quality metrics, and acts as a multi-provider gateway supporting 100+ models with caching, fallbacks, and rate limiting. The platform is self-hostable under the Apache 2.0 license and was used by over 16,000 organizations before being acquired by Mintlify in March 2026.
