Agenta vs Helicone

Agenta is an open-source workspace for teams building and automating AI coworkers. Teams can interact with agents in Slack or Telegram, start from templates for engineering, customer support, sales, company knowledge, and operations, and run them on a schedule or in response to events. Its observability tools include traces, logs, errors, version history, evaluations, and token usage with estimated model costs. Agenta connects with services such as Slack, Notion, GitHub, HubSpot, Google Drive, Linear, Zendesk, and Discord, and supports more than 1,000 integrations. Listed model providers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, and others. Cloud Hobby is free and allows two team members and 5,000 runs monthly; runs stop at that limit. Pro costs $29 a month and includes 10,000 runs monthly, with extra runs priced at $5 per additional 10,000. Model-provider charges are separate. Self-hosting is available, with users operating the application, storage, runner, upgrades, and backups in their own infrastructure. A mobile app supports agent conversations, approvals, and workspace management.

Helicone routes, debugs, and analyzes AI applications through a gateway and observability tools. The gateway provides access to more than 100 models through the OpenAI SDK by changing the model name, and supports load balancing, automatic failovers, and response caching across providers. Helicone logs requests in real time and visualizes multi-step LLM interactions to help locate error causes. Listed integrations include OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, LiteLLM, Anyscale, Together AI, and OpenRouter. It can run in customer infrastructure through single-click deployment or a production-ready Helm chart; Helicone also states that its cloud is SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant. A LangGraph integration tracks calls, sessions, performance, and costs, while an API cost calculator covers more than 300 models and providers. The free Hobby plan includes 10,000 requests, 1 GB storage, one seat, one organization, and seven days of retention. Pro costs $79.00 per month. A seven-day trial is advertised. Helicone says its services remain live in maintenance mode following acquisition by Mintlify, with security updates, new models, and bug and performance fixes continuing.
