Helicone AIAll-in-one observability platform to monitor, debug, and improve production LLM apps.

4.7 (6)

Overview

Helicone AI is a developer-focused observability platform built specifically for applications powered by large language models. It captures requests, responses, costs, and latency across providers, giving engineering teams a unified view of how their LLM features behave in production. Beyond logging, Helicone offers tools for debugging prompts, tracing multi-step agent workflows, running evaluations, and tracking user-level usage. Teams can identify regressions, control spend, and iterate on prompts with data rather than guesswork. It integrates with popular model providers and frameworks through a lightweight proxy or async logging, making it straightforward to add to existing stacks without major code changes.

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is agent and session tracing — handled better than most — and quick integration via proxy or async SDK. Advanced features require paid tiers is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Request and response logging is exactly what I needed, and supports multiple LLM providers. I do wish advanced features require paid tiers, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Solid for our team

We rolled this out across the team last quarter and useful prompt and agent debugging tools. User and rate-limit analytics fits neatly into how we already work, and user and rate-limit analytics removed a step we used to do by hand. but it has held up under daily use.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: user and rate-limit analytics and useful prompt and agent debugging tools. On balance the feature set — especially prompt management and versioning — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.
