What our research says

Agenta

Agenta is in transition from an LLMOps tool to an agent workspace, which makes it interesting for teams that want shared agents with tracing and evaluation baked in, and open source underneath. If you only need prompt management and evals, check that the current product still fits that narrower job. The MIT licence and self-hosting option lower the lock-in risk.

Pros

  • MIT-licensed core that can be self-hosted with Docker
  • Free cloud tier plus a $29 Starter plan with no per-seat price
  • Human-approval controls for agent actions
  • Tracing, evaluations and version history for every agent

Cons

  • The product direction changed recently, so older tutorials may not match the interface
  • Free cloud tier is limited to two members, one project and daily credits on ten days a month
  • Runtime consumes credits even when you bring your own model key

Langfuse

Langfuse is a strong default for teams that want tracing, prompt versioning and evaluations in one open-source tool, with the option to keep data on their own infrastructure. Teams that only want a hosted logging proxy with no SDK work, or that need guaranteed enterprise SSO without paying for add-ons, may find simpler or more bundled options.

Pros

  • MIT-licensed core that can be self-hosted without usage limits
  • Covers tracing, prompt management, evaluation and dashboards in one product
  • Generous free cloud tier and unlimited users from the $29 Core plan
  • OpenTelemetry support and SDKs for Python and JavaScript

Cons

  • Usage above the included 100k units is billed extra, so busy apps pay more than the headline price
  • Free tier keeps only 30 days of data and two users
  • Enterprise SSO and RBAC require the $300 Teams add-on on Pro or the Enterprise plan

Choose Agenta if you need

  • Teams that want shared, scheduled AI agents with approvals and an audit trail
  • Developers who need tracing, evals and versioned agent configuration in one open-source stack
  • Companies wanting to self-host agents with their own models and credentials

Choose Langfuse if you need

  • Engineering teams running LLM apps or agents in production who need traces and cost tracking
  • Organisations that must self-host observability data for compliance
  • Teams that want prompts, datasets and evals tied to the same traces
