Eden AI vs Helicone

Eden AI provides a unified API for accessing AI models from multiple providers, with more than 500 models listed on its homepage. Providers named include OpenAI, Mistral, Gemini, and Claude. Its specialized capabilities include OCR, speech, vision, and translation, among other tasks. Teams can compare providers by price, performance, and processing region; automatic fallback can respond when a provider fails or reaches its limits. Integrations listed include LangChain, Haystack, n8n, Make, Zapier, Bubble, and the OpenAI Python and TypeScript/JavaScript SDKs. Eden AI says it is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified and offers zero data retention by default. Its DPA says prompts and outputs are processed transiently, not stored by default, and customer data is not used to train models or sold. A dedicated EU endpoint is available for eligible workloads, depending on compatible providers and models. The AI API Gateway has no subscription, but API calls are billed at provider prices; a 5.5% platform fee applies when purchasing credits. The self-serve plan includes chat support with a 48-hour response time on working days. Advanced AI Platform pricing is custom and requires contacting sales. Eden AI was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Lyon, France.

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.
