Why choose Logwick?
Unlike Braintrust
Braintrust is an enterprise eval platform starting at $249/month that requires setting up evaluation pipelines, datasets, and scorers. Logwick is one line of code and $29/month — designed for teams that need logging fast, not a full ML platform.
Unlike LangSmith
LangSmith is tightly coupled to LangChain. If you're using OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini directly, LangSmith requires significant configuration. Logwick works with any model or framework via a single POST request.
Unlike Helicone
Helicone works by proxying your OpenAI API calls. This means it only captures one model's calls and adds a network hop to every request. Logwick is framework-agnostic and doesn't intercept your API traffic.
Unique to Logwick
Native Claude Desktop MCP integration so you can query logs in plain English. x402 pay-per-log so AI agents can log themselves without creating an account. Both are unique to Logwick.
