Agentic Index
AgentOps vs Langfuse (2026)
Choose AgentOps for agent centric session replay and debugging across 400 plus frameworks, and choose Langfuse for general LLM observability with the strongest open source posture. AgentOps offers a free tier with paid and enterprise plans, though its published pricing has been inconsistent recently, so verify current numbers before budgeting; Langfuse publishes exact pricing from a free Hobby tier through Core at 29 dollars a month and self hosts free under MIT. Agent replay and cost tracking per run favor AgentOps; breadth, community, and self hosting favor Langfuse.

Choose AgentOps if
- Replaying and rewinding agent runs step by step is how your team debugs
- You build on CrewAI, AG2, or the OpenAI Agents SDK and want native hooks
- Per run cost visibility across many agents is the immediate pain
Choose Langfuse if
- Exact, published pricing and an MIT self host path reduce vendor risk
- You need observability across all LLM traffic, not only agent sessions
- OpenTelemetry compatibility with your existing tracing stack is required
Langfuse was acquired by ClickHouse in January 2026 and continues as an open source, self hostable platform under the MIT license. Buyers outside the ClickHouse ecosystem should weigh roadmap priorities accordingly.
