Decision brief
traceAI is an open-source observability framework for AI applications, built on OpenTelemetry, that provides structured tracing for LLM calls, prompts, token counts, retrieval steps, and agent decisions.
Good fit when
- When you need to trace every LLM call, prompt, token count, retrieval step, and agent decision in your AI application.
- If you are working with multiple AI frameworks across Python, TypeScript, Java, and C#, and require consistent APIs for instrumentation.
Avoid when
- If your project does not require detailed tracing of LLM calls, prompts, token counts, retrieval steps, and agent decisions.
- When you are working exclusively with a single AI framework that does not require cross-language consistency.
- Pricing:
- freemium - traceAI is free and open-source, but users may incur costs based on the backend services they choose to integrate with.
- Requirements:
- Min 2 GB RAM; Python, TypeScript, Java, and C# are supported.; Requires OpenTelemetry-compatible backend for trace storage and visualization.
