AI Nazar vs Apitally

AI Nazar provides observability for large language model API calls, with a dashboard for cost, latency, token counts, and errors. It supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini through wrappers around their official clients. The dashboard reports cost by request and model, tracks latency and errors, flags spend anomalies, and compares providers. Users can inspect prompts, responses, token counts, latency, and cost, then filter requests by model, provider, or status. Its TypeScript-first SDK offers a drop-in OpenAI client wrapper with streaming, function calling, and tool use. AI Nazar says telemetry is sent asynchronously without adding latency to API calls. The SDK and dashboard are open source under the MIT license. It can be used as a hosted service or self-hosted with SQLite, Postgres, or Postbase storage. By default, the SDK sends request metadata; prompt and response text are sent only when content logging is enabled. Hosted free-tier event data is retained for 30 days on a rolling basis. Dashboard usage and cost figures are estimates, not authoritative billing records.

Apitally is a cloud service for API usage analytics, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting dashboards, added with a few lines of code. Dashboards track request volume, errors, response times, and consumer activity by endpoint and consumer. Optional logs let teams search requests and responses with correlated application logs and traces. Threshold alerts cover 14 traffic, error, and performance metrics, plus uptime and synthetic HTTP health checks. Notifications can go to Slack or Microsoft Teams. Supported frameworks include FastAPI, Django REST Framework, Flask, Express, Fastify, Hono, and ASP.NET Core, with Cloudflare Workers support through Logpush and serverless SDKs for Hono and FastAPI. SDKs aggregate metrics on the client, while logging and trace collection can be configured and sensitive data masked or excluded. Apitally says transfers use HTTPS and TLS, with database storage and backups encrypted at rest. Aggregated metrics remain 13 months; request and application logs 15 days; backups seven days. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is offered.
