It works as a drop-in replacement for the provider SDK, so you swap one import and start seeing data immediately. No agents to run, no infrastructure to wire up. It's built for teams shipping LLM-powered products who need to answer real questions fast: why did the bill spike, which agent step is slow, did the new prompt actually improve quality? Core capabilities: Spanlens supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, Azure, Bedrock, and Vertex, plus framework integrations for LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, and LangGraph. It also ingests OpenTelemetry spans over OTLP/HTTP. For teams that can't send prompt data to a third party, it's fully self-hostable. Prompts and completions stay inside your own network. Data can be exported as JSON, CSV, or Parquet, or streamed to S3 or BigQuery. If you're evaluating LangSmith alternatives /alternatives/langsmith , Spanlens covers similar ground with a flat monthly pricing model rather than per-seat fees, and a free self-hosted option that has no usage cap.
