The Brief

What Logfire does

Pydantic Logfire is an observability platform for AI applications built on OpenTelemetry, tracing the whole application rather than only LLM calls. It is for teams building LLM apps, agents, RAG pipelines and backend services who want model calls, tool calls, API requests and database queries on one timeline. Named features include distributed tracing, FusionFire for querying telemetry with Postgres-flavoured SQL, evals combining programmatic checks, LLM judges and human review, SDKs for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript and Rust, an MCP server, PII scrubbing and an EU data region. Pricing is freemium: the Personal plan includes 10 million spans, logs and metrics per month free, Team starts at $49/month, Growth at $249/month, and Enterprise is custom.
