Comet Opik is the best-value pick on this list. The pricing page says the open-source edition shares the same codebase as the hosted versions and includes agent tracing, test suites and the agent playground. Free Cloud covers up to 10 team members, 25k spans a month and 60-day retention, which is longer than the free tiers from Langfuse, Arize or Braintrust. Pro Cloud costs $19 a month for up to 50 team members and 100k spans, with customizable span limits and retention. The feature list includes execution graphs, sessions, cost tracking, test suites with assertions, 30+ built-in metrics, annotation queues and integrations with 40+ frameworks, providers and gateways. It scores lower on features than the top three because production alerting and analytics are less extensive in its published plan comparison, and the Ollie coding assistant requires buying tokens after the trial.
