What is LangWatch?

Open-core tracing, testing and evaluation for LLM apps.

Who is LangWatch best for?

LangWatch is best for AI engineers who want agents tested against simulated users and traced in production.

  • Teams shipping AI agents

    Simulated users hold multi-turn text and voice conversations with your agent, and a judge scores each run before it reaches customers.

  • Engineers who want evals in CI

    The same scenario tests run on your machine and on every pull request, and offline evals run from a notebook or the web app.

  • Watching agents in production

    OpenTelemetry tracing records every step, token and cost, and online evaluations flag drops in quality on live traffic.

  • Teams that must keep data in house

    The open-source platform runs on your own servers, and Enterprise adds SSO, audit logs and hybrid or air-gapped setups.

How much does LangWatch cost?

LangWatch is free on its Developer plan with 50,000 events a month or as self-hosted open source, and its Growth plan costs $34 per core seat per month plus $6 for every 100,000 events past the first 200,000.

Enterprise, in the cloud or self-hosted, is priced on request and adds SSO, role-based access, audit logs, SLAs and hybrid, on-prem or air-gapped setups. Every LLM call, tool call, retrieval, evaluation or simulation step counts as one event, so one user conversation usually uses several. Volume discounts apply above 20 users. Prices are in US dollars; the page can also show euro prices (€29 per core seat). Full pricing on langwatch.ai. We checked these prices on .

What counts as an event in LangWatch?

In LangWatch, every LLM call, tool call, retrieval, evaluation or simulation step is one event. A single user interaction with an agent usually creates several, so Growth's 200,000 included events cover fewer conversations than the number suggests.
