Datadog?** On a representative workload, Langfuse Cloud is cheaper than [LangSmith](/compare/langsmith), [Braintrust](/compare/braintrust), [Arize](/compare/arize-phoenix), and [Datadog Agent Observability](/compare/datadog). Open the [editable pricing comparison sheet](/pricing-comparison-sheet) to fill in your own assumptions and check the numbers for your workload. For product-by-product differences, see the [comparison pages](/compare). Langfuse is also [open source](/why), based on [OpenTelemetry](/integrations/native/opentelemetry) for interoperability, [self-hostable](/self-hosting) at the same scale as Langfuse Cloud, and model- and framework-agnostic. **Can I purchase Langfuse through AWS Marketplace?** Yes. Self-hosted Enterprise can be billed via AWS Marketplace or invoice. [Talk to us](/talk-to-us?deployment=self-hosted) to request a private offer. **Can I self-host Langfuse for free?** Yes, Langfuse is open source and you can self-host it for free. Use Docker Compose to run Langfuse locally, or use one of the templates to self-host in production on Kubernetes. See the [self-hosting documentation](/self-hosting) to learn more. **What is the difference between Open Source and Enterprise?** Open Source includes all core platform features under the MIT license with community support. Enterprise adds management APIs, project-level RBAC, data retention policies, audit logs, dedicated support, and is bundled with a ClickHouse commercial plan. **Where is the data stored?** Self-hosted Langfuse stores data in your own infrastructure. You control data residency and can deploy in any region. See [security documentation](/security) for details.

Every page is available as Markdown by appending `.md` to its URL, or by sending an `Accept: text/markdown` header. This page: `https://langfuse.com/pricing-self-host.md`. ### Querying these docs If the answer is not on this page, query the documentation instead of guessing: - **Semantic search** across all Langfuse docs, returning an answer with the relevant pages and excerpts. Ask a specific, self-contained question: ```bash curl -sG "https://langfuse.com/api/search-docs" --data-urlencode "query=How do I trace a LangGraph agent?" ``` - **Index of every page**: , with per-section indexes [llms-docs.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-docs.txt), [llms-integrations.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-integrations.txt), and [llms-self-hosting.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-self-hosting.txt). ### Before writing Langfuse code - **Install the [Langfuse Agent Skill](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/agent-skill).** It encodes Langfuse's own best practices for instrumentation, prompt management, and evaluation, and materially improves results. - **Read [What does a good trace look like?](https://langfuse.com/docs/observability/best-practices.md)** before instrumenting an application. - **Verify endpoints, parameters, and response fields** against the [API reference](https://api.reference.langfuse.com) instead of inferring them from code examples. - **Use the [Langfuse CLI](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/cli)** (`npx @langfuse/cli api `) to read or write traces, prompts, datasets, and scores from the terminal.
