Select customers include:
Open Source
- Langfuse is open source.
- You can self-host it, including the scalable observability backend that powers Langfuse Cloud without scalability limitations.
- All product capabilities—tracing, evaluations, prompt management, experiments, annotation, the playground, and more—are MIT licensed without any usage limits.
- We are transparent about what’s on the roadmap and how we operate.
- We iterate with the community on GitHub because best practices for building great LLM applications are rapidly evolving. Please share your feedback and ideas with us.

Built for Complex Use Cases
- We designed Langfuse with complex, nested LLM calls in mind—especially for agents and multi-step workflows.
- Agent graphs provide visual representations of complex agent workflows, helping you understand and debug multi-step reasoning processes.
- Langfuse enables hierarchical representations of your application in traces. Why are traces the core abstraction for LLM Engineering? Learn more in this webinar.
- Multi-modal support for tracing text, images, audio, and other modalities.
- MCP tracing for Model Context Protocol server interactions.
- We go beyond Input/Output to include all the context of your app via metadata, tags, and sessions.
Comprehensive Platform
We are building the core development platform you need to build robust LLM applications. Langfuse offers four integrated pillars:
- Observability: Comprehensive tracing for LLM applications, including agent graphs, sessions, token & cost tracking, and multi-modality.
- Prompt Management: Version control, LLM Playground, A/B testing, GitHub integration, and collaborative workflows.
- Evaluation: LLM-as-a-Judge, human annotations, experiments, and datasets for systematic testing.
- Metrics & Data Platform: Custom dashboards, metrics API, and extensive data export options.
Built for Scale
