Questions about alternatives to Openlayer

What is the best open source alternative to Openlayer?

By GitHub stars it is Langfuse, with 37,399 stars and a commit on 13 Nov. Choose Langfuse when your team needs traces, prompt versions and evaluations in one open-source tool rather than a governance suite. Next come Helicone (6,280 stars) and Latitude (4,753 stars).

Is there a free alternative to Openlayer?

Yes. The code of all 4 is public under MIT or Apache 2.0, so you can use them with no licence fee. Running one yourself costs the server and your time to look after it, and some makers also sell a hosted plan.

How do I choose between them?

Start from the job you use Openlayer for. Choose Future AGI when you want tracing, evaluations and guardrails for production agents that you can self-host under Apache 2.0. Choose Latitude when your main need is catching and grouping agent failures, from open-source code you can inspect.

Which Openlayer alternatives can I host on my own server?

3 of the 4: Langfuse, Helicone and Latitude. Each tool's page says what it needs to run.

Which ones are still being worked on?

All 4 we track had a commit in the last 30 days, among them Langfuse, Helicone, Latitude and Future AGI. A recent commit shows the project is kept up, not that it will stay that way.

What licences do they use?

MIT (2), Apache 2.0 (2). MIT, BSD and Apache let you change and reuse the code freely.

What do I lose by leaving Openlayer?

The hosting. Openlayer's maker runs the servers for you; with an open source tool the updates, backups, security fixes and support are yours, unless you take the maker's hosted plan. Features differ too, so check what each one imports and exports before you move your data.
